[00:00:00] science fantasy, [00:00:04] this man wants to go to Mars, Elon [00:00:06] Musk, the richest man in the world. While NASA [00:00:12] and there were many of the thousands of is aiming for a crude Mars mission around 2040, Mask has [00:00:15] set his sites on 2031. He wants [00:00:18] to launch the Starship rocket developed by his company [00:00:22] SpaceX towards Mars in late [00:00:24] 2026, [00:00:28] democracy stands in the way of and by 2050 he says 1 million people could be living [00:00:31] there, so what is mask [00:00:34] a visionary or just a [00:00:37] megamaniac with too much money? we pay [00:00:41] visit to daniela tsch, a mars expert at the DLR [00:00:44] institute of planetary research in Germany. what does science [00:00:48] make of these dreams of Mars? science [00:00:51] fiction. [00:00:54] million people living on Mars is very [00:00:56] unlikely. [00:01:00] suted for long-term human colonization, it just [00:01:03] doesn't provide the conditions for humans to be able to stay healthy and [00:01:07] survive [00:01:07] there. [00:01:11] Mars has far too little gravity, no dense [00:01:14] atmosphere, and no protective magnetic [00:01:18] field. It's not a plan B, a planet B for [00:01:21] humanity. [00:01:24] If we have the technology to colonize Mars, then we have the technology [00:01:28] to save earth. should [00:01:31] go into saving our own planet, the best one in the solar system, instead [00:01:35] of imagining ourselves somewhere [00:01:36] else, [00:01:39] and but the tech billionaires of Silicon Valley such as [00:01:42] Elon Musk and Peter Teel are imagining [00:01:45] themselves elsewhere. What drives these people? Is there a [00:01:49] dangerous ideology at work [00:01:51] here? [00:01:54] Riner Mulhof, Germany's first professor of AI [00:01:57] ethics, has studied their ideas. [00:02:30] connecting wealthy elites, big tech companies and right-wing [00:02:34] populist movements, reaching all the way into the Trump [00:02:37] administration. Their aim is human survival, but only for a [00:02:40] technological [00:02:41] elite. [00:02:48] What we're seeing is mix of an extremely aggressive [00:02:51] ideology and massive power, also in form [00:02:54] von. [00:02:59] Technologie. weltweit that technology is [00:03:02] everywhere, pulling people into systems that collect [00:03:05] data and can explain and predict the [00:03:08] behavior of each [00:03:09] person. [00:03:13] According to biographys, Elon Musk and Peter Teel [00:03:16] were both fascinated by fantasy and science fiction [00:03:19] comics as boys and that [00:03:22] fascination still seems to shape their thinking [00:03:24] today. [00:03:27] Peter Teal founded Palentier Technologies named after the all seeing stones in [00:03:31] Tolkins, Lord of the Rings. The company [00:03:34] builds military and intelligence software, powerful [00:03:37] tools and dangerous ones in the wrong hands, as the wizard [00:03:41] Gandolf warned. Gotham, the Palentier Analytics [00:03:45] software, is named after the unruly city in the Batman [00:03:49] Universe, [00:03:51] and Anderal Industries, which builds AI controlled weapons [00:03:55] and is closely linked to Palentier, takes its name from [00:03:59] powerful. in the lord of the rings, these tech [00:04:02] billionaires sound like characters straight out of science [00:04:05] fiction, and they have a plan, critics call it [00:04:09] tesgril. [00:04:15] Tesgrill is acronym that bundles several tech world [00:04:19] ideologies. One is transhumanism, [00:04:22] merging the human brain with computers, promising eternal [00:04:26] life in machines. Singularity is the moment. [00:04:30] super intelligent AI is born eugenics, the [00:04:33] idea that only the highly [00:04:35] accessories? many of intelligent should reproduce, essentially an elite [00:04:38] dictatorship. looming over all this is long-termism. [00:04:41] climate change, environmental damage and poverty are sidelined in favor of [00:04:45] spreading humanity across the galaxy. [00:04:48] longtermismus, longtermism is [00:04:51] pseudoethical idea. it says we should be making moral [00:04:55] decisions today for human lives in the ultradissent [00:04:58] future. millions of... [00:05:13] The irony is that people who promote this idea often use it [00:05:17] to distract from the very real problems AI is causing right [00:05:20] now. [00:05:23] Peter Teele, for example, has claimed that regulating [00:05:27] AI would speed up the arrival of the antichrist. [00:05:30] He's even said he knows who that is, in his view, Gretta [00:05:34] Tumberg. [00:05:37] He also argues that [00:05:41] the future. [00:05:44] He says, I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are [00:05:47] compatible. [00:05:53] The argument goes like this: if AI speeds up climate [00:05:56] change through massive resource use or leads to [00:06:00] discrimination and social inequality, those are [00:06:03] minor issues, at least when compared to the countless human [00:06:06] lives that could exist in the ultra distant [00:06:09] future. People live, what we are. [00:06:20] While earth faces climate change and environmental collapse, Elon Musk's plan to colonize Mars is framed as the first step towards [00:06:24] a cosmic future. The key idea is terraforming, [00:06:28] using technology to reshape Mars, making it more like [00:06:31] earth with a breathable atmosphere. The [00:06:34] idea is quite nice, the idea sounds tempting, but it's not [00:06:38] really thought through. For this to work, a planet needs two key [00:06:41] things: first, enough gravity to hold to an [00:06:44] atmosphere, and second, a magnetic field [00:06:47] to protect that atmosphere from being stripped away by the [00:06:51] sun. So is all this just [00:06:54] fantasy? critics like Pina Muhof used the term [00:06:58] tech fascism to describe these grand future visions [00:07:01] promoted by tech billionaires. supporters of [00:07:04] this thinking refer to something they [00:08:18] visionaries, but many people don't fully understand what those [00:08:22] visions are and who would [00:08:24] benefit. [00:08:28] AI chat bots like chat GPT don't just make [00:08:32] mistakes, they sometimes invent things or [00:08:35] hallucinate. They don't actually know everything, but sound as [00:08:39] if they do, filling in the gaps with answers that... seem [00:08:42] convincing even when they're wrong, a recent study [00:08:46] found that nearly half of their responses contained [00:08:49] problems or mistakes, it's like auto complete on [00:08:53] steroids, but the consequences can be very [00:08:57] real. It all started when Martin Banklow [00:09:01] typed his name into Microsoft co-pilot's AI [00:09:03] chatbot. [00:09:07] I entered my name and where I [00:09:08] live. [00:11:25] 'It was only when my son called from Essen, where he lives, [00:11:28] he'd seen it and was horrified that things [00:11:31] changed, [00:11:33] that's when I realized I couldn't just let it [00:11:36] go, [00:11:39] with a lawyer he tried to take action against co-pilot, but [00:11:42] with little success, now he's speaking [00:11:45] out, [00:11:49] I decided to go to the media, I went to the media [00:11:52] belt like my hands'. [00:12:55] hasn't cut up with how AI works and what can go [00:12:58] wrong. [00:13:00] Microsoft says it's taken action. [00:13:03] boundcloud's name is now blocked on co-pilot, so he no longer appears [00:13:07] at [00:13:10] all. In a statement, the company says it's working to improve [00:13:13] responses and urges users to verify [00:13:16] sources. [00:13:18] We also explicitly inform users that they are interacting with an [00:13:22] AI system. In addition, we recommend checking the links to [00:13:26] source [00:13:26] materials. [00:13:30] According to Band Clow, Microsoft offered him [00:13:33] €14,000 in compensation and to [00:13:37] cover his legal costs. He turned it [00:13:39] down, he wants a ruling from the [00:13:41] courts. [00:13:45] This case could set a precedent which could help create the legal and [00:13:48] political framework to regulate AI and define [00:13:51] responsibility and responsibility. [00:13:57] That could take time, until then [00:14:00] his legal fight [00:14:02] continues. [00:14:05] So is this AI, or is it real? It's getting [00:14:09] harder to tell, and that matters more than ever. When [00:14:12] manipulation and fake news erode trust, [00:14:15] democracy is put at risk. Social media [00:14:18] is also where many young people shape their views, learn to get [00:14:22] along and find their communities. That's why a [00:14:26] pilot project in Germany is helping students build the skills [00:14:29] they'll need in today's digital [00:14:32] democracy. [00:14:38] Today these seventh graders are turning their classroom into a film [00:14:41] set. The topic is values and community. [00:14:45] They're acting, directing and filming, doing it all [00:15:37] everyone learned something, discovered their strengths, showed more of who they [00:15:41] are. It was interesting to see quieter students step forward and [00:15:44] speak up. [00:15:47] The project is run by the non-profit group Digital School's [00:15:51] Story. Experts come into schools and show how [00:15:54] storytelling and video production work. After that, it's up [00:15:58] to the students. [00:16:02] They take responsibility, make their points, listen each other and find [00:16:04] compromises. [00:17:07] Kids need this knowledge as they navigate the digital [00:17:10] world. [00:17:13] In our workshops, Summa raises awareness of these [00:17:16] challenges. Her message, policymakers need [00:17:19] to do much more to bring these topics into [00:17:21] schools. [00:17:24] In this community, they've taken the first step. The students had [00:17:27] fun, learned a lot and took a lot of pride in their [00:18:19] to understand the time we are in, to develop the essential from [00:18:22] the unessential, to communicate what is important for society and [00:18:25] the individual, to provide verified information every day, to report [00:18:29] at the moment something is happening, is our task and [00:18:33] imperative, because informedness is key, our responsibility and [00:18:36] obligation are the same. information for you. I [00:18:39] am Marinela Ruškovački, you are watching N1. [00:19:24] It's a historic day for the Galapagos Island of [00:19:27] Floriana, as crates containing a long [00:19:30] lost treasure I delivered to its shoreline, this [00:19:34] is a absolutely a new beginning, it's a huge milestone, it's... the first [00:19:38] time taurtises have returned to Floriana Island in [00:19:41] 150 or so years. Each [00:19:43] crate weighs up to 80 kilograms and will need to be carried more than a [00:19:47] kilometer inland where over the next 3 days [00:19:51] 158 giant land tortises will be [00:19:54] released. This first reintroduction is [00:19:58] part of much larger long-term plan to rewwild [00:20:01] the island with dozen [00:20:14] As ecosystem engineers, tortises are [00:20:17] critical to these tropical islands, helping disperse [00:20:20] seeds, trample vegetation and create [00:20:23] habitat for other species. [00:20:26] Floriana had, we estimate 10,000, 1500 [00:20:30] giant tortuses at one point. Each island in the [00:20:33] Galapagos has a distinct subspecies of tortois. [00:20:38] was the first to be driven to extinction, largely due to the [00:20:41] 19th century whaling industry, which use the island as [00:20:45] a stopover and exploit the turtles for food, but [00:20:49] in 2000 conducting a Galapagos-wide Tourtus [00:20:52] Census, James Gibbs made a surprising discovery [00:20:56] on Isabella Island's wolf volcano, [00:21:02] the the native species there, but immediately it became [00:21:05] obvious that there are some strange taurtises here, and nowhere in [00:21:08] Galapagos do you have the two types of tartises occurring [00:21:12] together. Genetic testing would reveal these strange [00:21:16] tortises were hybrids, carrying both [00:21:19] wolf volcanine. and floriana lineage, it was [00:21:22] always sort of a dream that, wow, maybe floriana [00:21:26] actually still exist in some form, and maybe get get them back on [00:21:30] the island. 26 years later, that dream has become [00:21:34] reality. [00:21:36] These are the last eggs that are hatching. For the past 15 [00:21:40] years, more than 700 taurtises with Floriana [00:21:43] ance had been raised at this breeding center on Santa [00:21:46] Cruz Island, all intended for reintroduction. [00:22:21] on Floriana, this pioneering group are all 12 to 14 years [00:22:24] old, added maturity that will hopefully ensure [00:22:28] their homecoming is [00:22:29] success. [00:22:38] With these 158, what we [00:22:40] want is to determine which areas they will use [00:22:44] foraging and for migration or for the [00:22:46] ecological niches of these species. change [00:22:50] won't happen overnights and more releases are planned in coming years, [00:22:53] but if the classic fable teaches us anything, you can [00:22:57] bet on the tortois. it'll take a long time to get back to the [00:23:00] 10,00, 15,0 taurtises. they do grow slowly, [00:23:04] but they're very steady and persistent. mean, the taurtis and the hair, um, the [00:23:08] taurtis does win the race, think it is just beginning, and the [00:23:11] island is going to get his taurises back and start itself to [00:23:15] replenish and [00:23:15] renew. [00:23:26] This isn't your average jacket? It's one [00:23:29] specifically designed to help you fall asleep [00:23:32] anytime and anywhere. [00:23:36] So I'm going to try to take a 10-minute nap in this [00:23:40] chair and let you know how my sleep was. Good [00:23:43] night. The flashing red light inside the hood is meant to help me [00:23:47] drift off while this ring tracks my heart. rate and body [00:23:51] temperature, if my pulse stays too high, the jacket plays [00:23:55] a laby, so I [00:23:57] don't think I slept, but I feel very refreshed and I actually feel [00:24:00] a little bit more relaxed than I did when I first put on this [00:24:04] jacket, pleasebo effect, maybe, [00:24:08] either way, says the goal is to tackle a national [00:24:12] issue, sleep [00:24:13] deprivation. [00:24:17] In Japan, it's really cool to work hard. It's like a bad [00:24:20] chavana, that unhealthy culture still hasn't gone [00:24:24] away. It's become a major social problem in [00:24:27] Japan. Japan sleeps less than any other [00:24:31] developed country. Research has linked too little sleep to [00:24:34] increased risk of heart disease, obesity and stroke, but [00:24:38] it's also costing Japan and estimated 3% of its [00:24:41] GDP each year. Now to [00:24:45] help the nation catch more zs, the government is betting on sleep [00:24:48] tech, a market expect. to top $98 [00:24:51] million by 2027. [00:24:54] gadgets include box you can sleep in standing up, a bed that [00:24:58] lies flat when you do off, even [00:25:01] hotel that tracks your night sleep. in here, [00:25:05] infrared camera checks if you snore, then there's this [00:25:08] machine in the back here also to measure how much you're [00:25:11] snoring, and they tell me that this mattress also [00:25:15] helps you improve your sleep because it can tell how much you're moving in your [00:25:19] sleep, but do these products actually help or [00:25:22] are they just expensive bedtime [00:25:25] them don't have very solid [00:25:28] evidence for the effect, [00:25:31] unfortunately says Japan's sleep problem starts [00:25:35] young. Japanese kids are [00:25:37] already very much sleep deprived, partly [00:25:41] because they have this not only a regular [00:25:45] school, you most of them actually go to [00:25:48] after school. school, almost the nation is [00:25:52] teaching them that sleepiness during the daytime is [00:25:55] normal thing, which is not true, so the biggest [00:25:59] sleepaid might not be another gadget, but [00:26:21] In journalism that serves the public interest, there must be no [00:26:25] forbidden topics, there cannot be untouchables, there are no [00:26:28] privileged ones, everyone has the right to answer, but those we elected [00:26:32] have the duty and obligation to answer journalists, [00:26:36] Croatian citizens and the public questions that we will [00:26:39] politely, but persistently repeat until we get [00:26:42] the last clear, unambiguous answer. I [00:26:46] am Ivan Hrstić, you are watching N1. [00:27:20] Donald Trump again announces the rapid opening of the Strait of Hormuz with a threat [00:27:24] to Iran. The capital of Ukraine was again the target of a fierce attack [00:27:28] by Russia. UNICEF warns of hundreds of unaccompanied children after [00:27:31] the migrant crisis. [00:27:36] US Secretary of Health called for new research into [00:27:51] in the Strait of Hormuz are in the final phase, although Donald Trump announced [00:27:54] the rapid opening of this passage, Iranian state television reports [00:27:58] that a possible agreement with Oman will not mean immediate [00:28:01] opening. Tehran says that negotiations are being conducted without US [00:28:05] participation and that the opening of the passage depends on stopping [00:28:08] US attacks. Despite this, announcements of a temporary [00:28:11] agreement have already brought down the price of oil by more than 5%. [00:28:15] At the same time, sources close to the Pentagon warn that US [00:28:18] ammunition stockpiles are dangerously low. Since the beginning of the conflict, the US [00:28:22] has spent almost 80% of its missiles for the Tad system and [00:28:25] half of its Patriot stockpiles, which causes concerns among [00:28:29] allies in the Gulf. [00:28:32] "the only thing I get a little solaus from is they say only [00:28:35] consequential presidents and I am definitely [00:28:39] consequential. I mean, if you look at the economy, if you look at what's [00:28:41] happening, Iran as an example will never have nuclear [00:28:44] weapon, they already can't, but they'll it's going to be [00:28:47] formal, the straight's going to be open very soon or they're going to [00:28:51] get hit very hard and then the straight's going to be open, and we were goingto a [00:28:55] tremendous attack, the biggest since World War [00:28:57] II." [00:29:06] In night air attacks on Kyiv and the surrounding area, at least 17 [00:29:10] people died, while 44 were injured, confirmed the President [00:29:13] of Ukraine. Russian forces fired 28 missiles and [00:29:16] 115 drones, warehouses, logistics [00:29:20] centers and a railway station were hit. Zelensky again appealed to [00:29:23] allies to urgently deliver additional air defense [00:29:27] systems. At the same time, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that [00:29:31] it was over several Russian regions. [00:30:14] In the Moroccan city of Fnideq, hundreds of people are looking for information about [00:30:18] relatives who disappeared during the mass crossing of the border with the Spanish [00:30:21] enclave of Ceuta, out of 72,000 people who crossed [00:30:25] the border after fake news on social networks, about 70,000 [00:30:29] were returned to Morocco. About 2,500 remained in Ceuta. [00:30:32] internet users, including more than 800 unaccompanied [00:30:35] children. UNICEF warns that the number of unprotected children on [00:30:39] the streets could be significantly higher. Brussels announces the strengthening [00:30:42] of the union's external borders and an accelerated return of those who do not have [00:30:46] the right to asylum, while the authorities in Madrid claim that the situation is under [00:30:49] control. [00:30:54] We want to go to continental Spain to work. It is difficult to find [00:30:57] a job in Morocco, so we hope to find a job.
