00:00:00Technology
00:00:25for some time in Iran, there has been a lot of talk about the possibility of connecting mobile phones to
00:00:28Starlink satellite internet, especially
00:00:32in the southern regions of Iran. They say that government officials
00:00:35have made contradictory statements about cutting off Starlink
00:00:39for users in Iran. So
00:00:48that some people in the southern and southeastern regions
00:00:52of Iran have seen the option to connect to Starlink satellite internet on their
00:00:55phones, to the extent that some media have also
00:00:58reported it. According to local sources in
00:01:02parts of Iran, especially border cities, the Starlink
00:01:06satellite internet option has been activated on mobile
00:01:09phones, although the connection is not established. But is
00:01:13this really new? We said here in Click before that although this
00:01:17technology of direct communication with satellites is very exciting,
00:01:20especially for those whose internet is constantly being cut off,
00:01:23we are still at the beginning of this technology and it has
00:01:27many limitations. The number of users it can currently
00:01:30cover is very, very limited compared to Starlink.
00:01:34It is possible that a very limited number of people may
00:01:38have access to this technology, but the key point is that we should not have
00:01:41the idea that from tomorrow everyone in Iran will be directly
00:01:45connected to the internet through their phones. If this technology
00:01:48comes, the important point is that people should not fall victim
00:01:52to these scams. That is, suddenly, messages come in these Telegram groups that
00:01:56if you install such and such an application on your phone, you can immediately connect to
00:02:00satellite internet and have very good bandwidth. Many
00:02:04people, unfortunately, may fall for such messages,
00:02:07install the application, and then either their wallets will be emptied
00:02:11or their bank accounts will be misused
00:02:14and they will be harmed. This is a very important point that our dear
00:02:18compatriots should pay attention to. So this is about
00:02:20the rumors, or perhaps it's better to say dreams for
00:02:24now, about connecting mobile phones to satellite internet in Iran. But
00:02:28what do government officials say? The Deputy Minister of
00:02:31Agriculture said in a meeting that with Starlink, the government's
00:02:35control over cyberspace, including filtering and widespread internet
00:02:39outages, will be closed, and our governance over
00:02:42cyberspace will no longer be based on our network, but on
00:02:46Starlink. Concerned people say that this phenomenon
00:02:49is the last nail in the coffin of the Islamic Republic's governance.
00:02:53After that, the Secretary of the Supreme Council of Cyberspace responded that no,
00:02:57we have been able to disable Starlink terminals in Iran.
00:03:20There is no evidence that the Iranian government has been able to disable
00:03:24a significant number of these, but there are reports of
00:03:28searches for owners of these devices and the arrest of some
00:03:32of these people. But experts said that they probably did not
00:03:36observe security measures well. The government has also made a great
00:03:39effort to cut this off, but it has not been successful. Now,
00:03:43by disrupting GPS signals and similar actions, they have tried
00:03:46to do this, and to some extent, they have been able to create
00:03:50disruptions, but they have never been able to successfully prevent
00:03:54these Starlink terminals from working because of their special technology,
00:03:58which can provide a bandwidth of about 100 megabits per second
00:04:01to users inside Iran. And those who have access
00:04:05to this technology should consider security tips so that
00:04:08God forbid, no problems arise for them. For example,
00:04:12to ensure the concealment of identity and address when using
00:04:15Starlink, because this device is smuggled and illegal, it is important
00:04:19to get it from places you trust. When you don't need
00:04:22the terminal, turn it off completely, and never
00:04:26access Iranian apps and websites with Starlink internet, because they can...
00:04:35don't use it. Connect a regular router to Starlink with a cable
00:04:39and get your Wi-Fi from there. But beyond these police crackdowns,
00:04:42the Iranian government has been trying to restrict Starlink satellite
00:04:46internet in Iran since three years ago, when it was expanding,
00:04:50including by complaining to the International Telecommunication
00:04:54Union, after which the board of directors of this intergovernmental
00:04:57organization asked Starlink to
00:05:00disable unauthorized terminals in Iran.
00:05:03Recently, the Iranian government also protested to Norway as to why
00:05:07this request has not been implemented. Now, why Norway? Because
00:05:10Starlink has officially registered
00:05:15part of its telecommunications infrastructure through Norway, and the rest through the US, which recently had a 40-day war with Iran, and currently tensions between Iran and the US are high. Of course, civil groups and activists for internet access freedom have protested this decision of the International Telecommunication Union and said that governments should not be the only ones to have a say in this matter. It seems that the story of Iranians with Starlink will continue for a long time.
00:05:19تنشا بین ایران و آمریکا بالاست. البته گروه های مدنی و
00:05:22فعالان آزادی دسترسی به اینترنت به این تصمیم
00:05:25اتحادیه جهانی مخابرات اعتراض کردن و گفتن نمیشه فقط دولت ها
00:05:29در این باره حق اظهار نظر داشته باشن. به نظر می رسه داستان ایرانی ها
00:05:33با استاللینگ حالا حالاها ادامه
00:05:35داره.
00:06:09groceries, or essential household items online, there's a chance
00:06:13that one of these has been involved.
00:06:17Across the world, fleets of autonomous robots in large
00:06:20warehouses are revolutionizing the way orders are picked,
00:06:24packed, and
00:06:25shipped.
00:06:28A lot of this technology is currently being designed and produced
00:06:31in China, led by companies like Geekplus, the largest
00:06:35provider of autonomous mobile warehousing robots in the
00:06:38world.
00:06:41The primary goal is for customers to recognize
00:06:44and believe in the true value of these robotic
00:06:48technologies. What we currently observe in the market is that
00:06:51most companies worldwide are focused on the rapid expansion
00:06:55of automation and are utilizing intelligent robotics to transform
00:06:58their logistics sector.
00:07:01Years of investment in artificial intelligence and robotics
00:07:04have helped China become a leader in these fields
00:07:08globally. Warehouse automation has existed for decades.
00:07:12What has changed is that software can now coordinate
00:07:16hundreds of autonomous robots in real-time. This way, companies
00:07:20can acquire and deploy robots without needing to
00:07:23build special infrastructure. In traditional warehouses, workers
00:07:27might walk very long distances to pick orders.
00:07:31But with this technology, goods come to the workers themselves.
00:07:34There is no predefined path. Only QR codes
00:07:37are on the floor. Companies can use this technology to
00:07:41stack goods even higher than usual. This way, because
00:07:44workers have to move less, they can process more
00:07:48orders faster and with fewer errors. Automation
00:07:52is entering more challenging areas. Some models of these
00:07:55driverless forklifts can carry up to 2,000 kilograms
00:07:59and move heavy loads without a driver.
00:08:02The largest retail companies in Britain, such as
00:08:06Next, Tesco, and Asda, are investing heavily in this
00:08:10technology to better handle online
00:08:13orders. But as robots become
00:08:17more capable, questions arise about the future of work
00:08:21definition. Motion Tech, which deploys Geekplus robots in
00:08:25UK warehouses, says they are helping to solve
00:08:28one of the biggest problems in the logistics industry.
00:08:31The issue is not that robots are replacing workers.
00:08:35Apparently, there is currently a severe shortage of labor
00:08:39in the UK. As a result, these technologies are really
00:08:43important for boosting businesses and responding to demand.
00:08:46Businesses really need this technology to develop
00:08:50and move forward. But
00:08:53even these robots still have some limitations. They still
00:08:57cannot do many daily tasks that require skill and
00:09:01have been done by humans until now. Geekplus is designing
00:09:04humanoid robots equipped with AI to entrust some
00:09:08of these tasks to robots. The Chinese company
00:09:11Agilebot has gone even further and is delivering
00:09:15its humanoid robots to factories to be used there for inspecting
00:09:18products and sorting those that have defects. These
00:09:22robots are designed so that factories do not need
00:09:25to redesign their production lines from scratch to work
00:09:29in human environments. Those in the logistics
00:09:32industry say that the autonomous robots we have now still
00:09:36have a long way to go before they become fully
00:09:40operational for moving goods. Humanoid robots are a
00:09:43long-term goal for this industry, but it will still
00:09:47be a while before they become a common sight in factories
00:09:50and warehouses. You've seen Arezoo Mirzakhani's reports
00:09:54from the Berlin technology exhibition, IFA, which is the largest
00:09:58event of its kind in Europe. Now, let's go back
00:10:01to the Berlin exhibition to see a souvenir that fits in your
00:10:05pocket and might be a good solution for those who don't
00:10:09have extensive recording facilities at home.
00:10:19A device that a sound engineer designed to get rid of the
00:10:22troubles of his teenage daughter,
00:10:35who is an independent artist. He was tired of having to set
00:10:38up all the equipment from scratch every time he wanted to record
00:10:42or produce content with his daughter, a task that was both
00:10:46time-consuming and prone to breaking down or not working
00:10:50properly. So he designed this device that virtually
00:10:53eliminates all these hassles and makes things easier for
00:10:56artists. Of course, this device is not just for artists.
00:11:00Content creators, actors, and even people who
00:11:04record themselves at home for tests or trial performances
00:11:07can also use it.
00:11:10Inside this device, which
00:11:13looks like a microphone from the outside, there are several
00:11:17separate gadgets and components.
00:11:20For example, it has an audio interface, something that
00:11:23is usually sold as a separate device. It also
00:11:27has in-ear monitors that work wirelessly. You can put
00:11:30them in your ears and use them.
00:11:34Both sides of the device have a receiver.
00:11:37Now I'm connecting it to my phone.
00:11:41کنم.
00:11:43The device is now connected to my phone. It has two types of microphones:
00:11:47condenser and enhanced radio microphone.
00:11:51So you can have one-way or two-way recording.
00:11:55And now you should be able to hear your own voice
00:11:58in your ears.
00:12:01The idea of having a complete studio in such
00:12:04a small device can be a revolutionary idea if
00:12:08it really works. The sound quality I just heard
00:12:12was good. But we have to see if a musician
00:12:15records sound and then we listen to it, will it really
00:12:18have that sound quality or
00:12:22not?
00:12:28I can adjust the microphone according to the room space.
00:12:31I have now clicked on the vocal effects or
00:12:35audio effects option for the voice. If I go to
00:12:38the custom section, I can lower the monitor
00:12:41volume and change the noise reduction level.
00:12:45For example, I increase the noise reduction to the maximum.
00:12:49Now you should be able to notice the change in
00:12:52these settings and the noise reduction level. Of course,
00:12:55this effect is even clearer in the recorded file.
00:12:59When you listen to the recorded file later, you probably
00:13:03won't notice much of the surrounding
00:13:06sounds.
00:13:08I have set the reverberation
00:13:16to maximum here. Therefore, my voice may have a
00:13:19slightly echoey quality. Now I have completely dried
00:13:23it, meaning almost no effects and
00:13:26reverberation. We also have different microphone equalizer settings
00:13:30in this device. Compressor,
00:13:33limiter, and various other settings of this
00:13:36type are also available. Therefore, with these
00:13:39settings, you can adjust the microphone according to
00:13:42the room space. Now, if I just want to record a few
00:13:46seconds of audio, for example, an idea, a few lines
00:13:49of poetry for a podcast or for an interview,
00:13:53I can use this. As you can see, the device
00:13:57is currently in recording mode. If I want to record a
00:14:00song, I connect it using the USB cable that comes
00:14:04with the device. In this mode, there is
00:14:08almost no latency. Of course, even with this wireless
00:14:11receiver, the latency is almost zero. This function
00:14:15is part of the proprietary technology of this device.
00:14:19This means less work in the post-production stage.
00:14:22For a musician, it means that the words of the song
00:14:26are exactly on beat and are not heard behind
00:14:30the beat.
00:14:42You can even use it for live performances. You can
00:14:46connect it to a live sound system and perform.
00:14:50For example, in a small cafe or for
00:14:54street performances.
00:15:25The vibe of Star Foundation, where Road
00:15:28Dama is currently on tour. He had
00:15:31one of the devices with him on tour, and one day
00:15:35a major hip-hop producer called him and said,
00:15:39"We need a piece of your voice right now."
00:15:42He said, "Well, I'm on tour, but I think
00:15:46I can record it in my hotel room." Then
00:15:49he sent the recorded file to the producer and didn't
00:15:53tell him that instead of doing what people usually
00:15:57do, he used a different method, meaning instead of going
00:16:01somewhere else to look for a studio, he recorded
00:16:04it in his hotel room, and the producer was completely
00:16:23satisfied with the result. You know that saying, "Tell someone
00:16:27to bring a hat, and they'll bring the hat with their head."
00:16:30That image was a bit violent, but it's not controversial. These
00:16:34days, the news about AI and its mischief or suspicious
00:16:37behavior reminds us of this. The same company that you've
00:16:41surely heard about and probably used many times, OpenAI,
00:16:44said its AI agents went to the websites of the Securities
00:16:48and Exchange Commission and the US Census Bureau, but the
00:16:51company itself says there's no sign of these agents
00:16:54breaching or sabotaging. This is what OpenAI itself says,
00:16:58but independent researchers said that agents, who appear to
00:17:01be from OpenAI, tried to hack the website of the
00:17:05Office for Civil Rights at
00:17:07the US Department of Education, but apparently failed. When
00:17:11models are being tested, they have two goals. One
00:17:14is their main goal, which in this case, for the
00:17:18Department of Education, was to find some statistics. The
00:17:21model pursues this goal, and part of the reward
00:17:25it receives is for how much it insists on achieving
00:17:28that goal and getting its reward. Now, what happens is
00:17:32that no one might directly say, "Go hack this website,"
00:17:35but the reward for finding that number and those statistics
00:17:39is so great that the model will do anything to
00:17:43get that number and data. As a result, when we
00:17:46are only optimizing for one thing, the model has no
00:17:50constraints to stop it from doing something bad. It wasn't
00:17:53like the model said, "Oh, I want to go hack
00:17:56the embassy's website or the education website." The point
00:18:00is that it wants a number and is willing to
00:18:03do anything to get that number. Concerns about
00:18:06the rogue behavior and unauthorized actions of AI agents have
00:18:10been growing for several months. There have been many
00:18:14cases where these agents have shown worrying behavior, and
00:18:17these are just the cases that have been discovered. When
00:18:21a model is being optimized to learn something, the optimization
00:18:24method is that you have a function that you are
00:18:27optimizing, and the model has a goal to reach.
00:18:31For example, here, if it can find that number, which
00:18:35I think was the ratio
00:18:37of people who had a problem in education, it needs
00:18:41to obtain this statistic. The model has not reached
00:18:44its goal until it obtains this statistic, and the optimization
00:18:48has not been performed. Now, simply to achieve this,
00:18:52it is willing to do anything. The reward for the
00:18:55model is simply reaching the goal. For example, this
00:18:59is your prize. When you are optimizing and have
00:19:02several goals, ultimately one goal wins. Imagine you
00:19:06have a dog and you're rewarding it, for example,
00:19:10with food. It's supposed to learn to jump. Now,
00:19:13the question is whether the reward of food is more
00:19:17important for the dog than not jumping on a
00:19:21stranger when it jumps. When the reward of food
00:19:25is more important, it doesn't care if it's a stranger,
00:19:28a friend, or its owner. It's the same for models.
00:19:31You can define several goals, but ultimately one
00:19:35goal wins, and the biggest goal is to access
00:19:50this number. No matter how much you tell it not to
00:19:53hack this website or not to do this, if the
00:19:57reward for reaching that final goal is strong enough, the
00:20:01model might do it, just like humans, dogs, or anything
00:20:05else you're training might do something like that.
00:20:09Now, what's the solution? How can we make AI
00:20:12agents understand that some things are red lines?
00:20:16For example, the company...
00:20:19in the forbidden zone, you know that security has always
00:20:23been a secondary factor for all issues because security
00:20:26problems were never that big. People first build
00:20:30systems and then try to protect and strengthen these
00:20:33systems. Now, for the first time, we are dealing
00:20:45with a technology that is advancing so rapidly that security must become the primary concern. Security must be considered more when developing models from the beginning. If companies like OpenAI had thought about this, we wouldn't be in this situation, but now, as you said, for example, it used to commit suicide, but now it doesn't do that. Similarly, if we include hacking in their training, these problems can be reduced significantly. The only issue is that until now, security has not been the main problem, and suddenly we realize that this is a big problem.
00:20:48گفته باشن نگه. اینه که به زودی اینترنت پر بشه از هکرهای
00:20:52هوشواره ای که به هیچکی هم جواب پس نمیدن. سرچشمه شاید
00:20:56گرفتن به بیل چو پر شد نه شاید گذشتن به پیل مثل
00:21:00اینکه چشمه داره خیلی دیگه پر

00:21:08We recently passed International Deaf Day. Despite all
00:21:11the new software and hardware advancements, we still don't
00:21:15have a user-friendly tool for sign language translation.
00:21:19A group of young Kenyans have worked on a prototype.
00:21:22One of the challenges is that sign languages differ in
00:21:26different regions, and if someone wants to create such a
00:21:30thing for Iran, it must be appropriate for Iranian
00:21:33sign language. Nirok Murigai
00:21:40reports from a technology center in the heart
00:21:44of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, to meet Ali Savatia,
00:21:47the founder of Signverse and the creator of Tab
00:21:51360, which he launched. Equipped with AI, it helps
00:21:55bridge language gaps and increase accessibility by making
00:21:58communication easier for the
00:22:03deaf. We humans have our own limitations. What
00:22:07technology does is actually enhance human capabilities
00:22:11and make them repeatable. Tab 360 is our flagship
00:22:15product. We like to call it a visual Google Translate
00:22:18for sign language. What
00:22:21Tabsisash does is take spoken language and show
00:22:24a virtual character that translates that content into
00:22:27sign language almost in real-time. Then Tab Web
00:22:31comes in, which integrates with websites and web pages
00:22:35and makes the sign language translator available with
00:22:39a widget. Our goal was to automate sign language.
00:22:42We thought it would be good to be inspired by
00:22:46animations. At first, we actually manually created animations
00:22:50that spoke in sign language. But we realized that our
00:22:54product would not be scalable that way. We received
00:22:57funding from the Kenyan President's Innovation Award,
00:23:01and with it, we acquired a motion capture
00:23:03suit.
00:23:09How did you come up with the idea of using 3D
00:23:13avatars? Honestly, we took a lot of inspiration from
00:23:16James Cameron's movies. We looked at how characters are
00:23:20animated in Avatar and even later Marvel movies.
00:23:24We examined how they use technology and realized that
00:23:28we can indeed digitally capture sign language movements
00:23:31with a motion capture suit. Of course, until now,
00:23:35we had to use human interpreters to translate into
00:23:38sign language for deaf audiences. But the thing
00:23:41is, human translation cannot be scaled, meaning it cannot
00:23:45be done in large numbers.
00:23:48So far, Tab 360 has been trained to speak
00:23:52about 6,000 English words in Kenyan Sign Language.
00:23:56The team is working to improve this sign language
00:23:59model to be at least
00:24:0170% accurate.
00:24:04This Tab 360. Converts
00:24:07text and speech to sign language. This is
00:24:11one of our characters, named Zain. You can
00:24:15change the translation speed. You can make it faster
00:24:18or slower. So
00:24:52I do collaboration
00:24:55with the deaf community from outside to come
00:24:58to our offices and help us work on
00:25:02validation, that is words and
00:25:05also data collection.
00:25:08More languages are spoken, for
00:25:11example, English,
00:25:14French, but when it is interpreted
00:25:17into sign language.
00:25:50When you see that your innovation is useful to people,
