Artificial intelligence & algorithms: pros & cons | DW Documentary (AI documentary)



DW Documentary

Developments in artificial intelligence (AI) are leading to fundamental changes in the way we live. Algorithms can already detect Parkinson’s disease and cancer, and control both cars and aircraft. How will AI change our society in the future?

This documentary journeys to the hot spots of AI research in Europe, the USA and China, and looks at the revolutionary developments which are currently taking place. The rapid growth of AI offers many opportunities, but also many dangers. AI can be used to create sound and video recordings which will make it more and more difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction. It will make the world of work more efficient and many professions superfluous. Algorithms can decide whether to grant loans, who is an insurance risk, and how good employees are. But there is a huge problem: humans can no longer comprehend how algorithms arrive at their decisions. And another big problem is AI’s capacity for widespread surveillance. The Chinese city of Rongcheng is already using an AI-supported ‘social credit system’ to monitor and assess its citizens. Does AI pose a danger to our personal freedoms or democracy? Which decisions can we leave to the algorithms – and which do we want to? And what are AI’s social implications?

A documentary by Tilman Wolff und Ranga Yogeshwar

  1. Why is this film named after Maoist socialism – a chinese social and economic plan from the 60s? Great Leap Forward – implying a technotronic socialist future?

  2. I'd like a machine that tells me what to do in this diabolically evil healthcare system that isn't going to cost me more than everything i have including my life. Right now they're trying to force me to pay for a despotic tax and healthcare machine that's torturing, killing elders or anyone that might know something, gobbles up our savings and keeps everyone left baffled clueless, useless and a few rent payments from destitution.
    So this selfdriving car is kind of a herring

  3. If they tracked my phone's accelerometer for any variations in the length and time of my walking then they would be very confused indeed as I get weird when I feel that somebody is looking at me so then I start walking weird. They'll probably think I had a stroke lol.

  4. So you gave computer 100K of xray images,and now he is "intelligent"?Sounds like simple scrypt to me,0 intelligence.
    As for robots serving coffe..what do you think,where will people end up that were serving coffe before robots?Unemployed,on the street.begging for something to eat.
    We need new system before robots.If robot is replacing human,then earnings must go to all humans,not only to the "big boss",the guy that bought robot,who will get more and more rich,take everything for himself.Right now,robots are problem.They take the job from the people,and making the rich,even richer.System needs to change,before we can call this "progress".

  5. And with all its technology corona is still kicking ass & taking numbers. But I really liked the part about the "different outlook" they have over there on the trade off of privacy for security. That's cause they have NO CHOICE but that's "different" and everything I do and say on YouTube is fed into the google machine but who's complaining?

  6. Wow! let's program intuition…that which ultimately makes us human …..the ultimate in free will….the vestige of our spiritual compass…..our innate firewall against the machine. Unbelievable…..biased algorithm allowing the machine to kill…..inaction is action. Eventually the machine is not making the decision.

  7. Google representative 26:45 – "A small chip is listening for the hot word- and only then is the microphone switched on:." So, the small chip listens for the hot word utilizing a switched off microphone? The way this is being explained is intentionally misleading.
