00:00:40shows that the overall system works, we can connect biology with electronics
00:00:44and computer science, and it
00:00:46works.
00:00:55could provide advantages when highly complex computations are necessary,
00:00:58like those involving
00:01:30still feel that way, if it actually
00:01:32works,
00:01:40artificial intelligence still isn't as flexible or creative as the
00:01:44human mind, instead, AI models learn
00:01:48from information that's already out there, including content from
00:01:51sources like wikipedia,
00:01:54but the world's largest online encyclopedia is written by
00:01:57human volunteers and humans sometimes make
00:02:01mistakes, so what happens when errors make their way
00:02:04in?
00:02:08bblemits has been active on wikipedia for five
00:02:12years. the pensioner has written many articles, mainly
00:02:15topics related to women, and every tuesday she
00:02:18meets in person with other
00:02:19wikipedians.
00:02:23i say it takes up at least 20 hours a week, writing, uploading,
00:02:27correcting, sometimes translating.
00:02:33This time 10 volunteers have come together in Hanover, they
00:02:37meet in one of the six wikipedia offices in
00:02:40Germany, rented so the platform's authors and editors
00:02:44can collaborate and train.
00:02:47Contributors, however have grown scarce. 15 years
00:02:50ago around 11,00 were active, now only
00:02:545,00 to 6,00 people regularly take the
00:02:57time. Today's session is about tips. and
00:03:00tricks, thousands of unreviewed articles are waiting to
00:03:03be edited, the volunteers can barely keep
00:03:08decisive role in the development of up. that led a major German
00:03:10newspaper to ask, how well does wikipedia still
00:03:14work? its analyzors randomly
00:03:17selected articles and found numerous
00:03:20errors.
00:04:00Details like these matter, especially in such
00:04:02situations.
00:04:06Mistakes were discovered in 198 German
00:04:09wikipedia articles out of the 1011 randomly
00:04:12selected for the study, another 203 had
00:04:16outdated
00:04:17information.
00:04:20I expected some outdated content, but I didn't expect so
00:04:24many errors, even in historical articles that
00:04:27basically can't become outdated.
00:04:48competent observatory or any of
00:05:00the platform, but doesn't generate content, people have been
00:05:03trying for years to attract younger contributors.
00:05:07there are outreach programs in schools and universities,
00:05:10and new authors do join.
00:05:43The Open Source Project is the largest encyclopedia in
00:05:47human history. Here in Berlin, Wicca media
00:05:50provides only the software and the servers to run it, but with
00:05:54dwindling number of volunteers and heightened awareness of
00:05:57mistakes, could the project
00:05:59fail?
00:06:01Wikimedia is trying to keep the platform easier for
00:06:04contributors to use, so that writing, editing,
00:06:08reviewing and publishing remain accessible, but the
00:06:11newspaper studies.
00:06:43They think it could demotivate unpaid authors, but there's
00:06:46no question that challenges are real. In an age of
00:06:50AI and bots, misinformation and manipulation
00:06:53is rampant, a growing problem.
00:06:5730 to 40% of all internet traffic now comes from automated
00:07:00programs. Author Torbin Friedrich shows
00:07:04examples from ornythology. Search engine results already include
00:07:08many AI generated images often indistinguishable from the real
00:07:11thing.
00:07:42are and it's a big group of idealists and
00:07:46idealists, but the platform needs new
00:07:50contributors, young authors willing to write and review
00:07:54articles in their spare time, people who want to help
00:07:57keep wikipedia relevant and develop it further.
00:08:01the team in Berlin is working hard to recruit them,
00:08:04volunteers who want to ensure that the world's largest collection of
00:08:08knowledge remains a bastion against
00:08:11misinformation.
00:08:17Are you looking for answers to some of the biggest questions in the
00:08:20universe, like how did galaxies and planets
00:08:24form, and could there be other worlds capable of supporting
00:08:28life? NASA is about to begin mapping the universe in
00:08:31greater detail than ever before, with a brand new
00:08:35space telescope that's been years in the making. Now it's
00:08:38finally ready and launch is scheduled for late August 2020.
00:08:48It's designed to detect light from billions of
00:08:51galaxies, discover thousands of new
00:08:55planets orbiting other stars and to
00:08:59help clear up mysteries that shaped the evolution and
00:09:02makeup of space and time, and we really need
00:09:06to do that because we're trying to answer fundamental questions about the
00:09:08universe. Roman will have field of you that's a hundred times bigger.
00:09:12so i'll be able to survey the sky hundred times
00:09:14faster.
00:09:19instead of like focusing on an individual tree, you
00:09:23can see the big
00:09:24forest.
00:09:30the Nancy Grace Roman space telescope, or Roman for short
00:09:33is named after NASA's first chief of
00:09:36astronomy. she's often called the mother of hubble for
00:09:40her tireless efforts to gain approval funding for the
00:09:43iconic instrument launched back in 1990.
00:09:47she was really the person that um came up with
00:09:51the plan and the idea to do astrophysics from space. we
00:09:54wouldn't really have hubble or
00:09:57shandra or
00:10:01these major space missions without her
00:10:04vision and and leadership.
00:10:08yeah, the space telescope that bears her name carries two.
00:10:25larger than hovel can manage and offering a
00:10:28broader cosmic perspective than even the james web space
00:10:31telescope. the interesting thing is
00:10:35that hubble and and web are like looking through
00:10:39key hole, you can get lot of detail, but roman will do
00:10:42things different differently, it's like opening the door and it's going to
00:10:46allow us to m the universe. the second
00:10:50instrument on board called the coronograph is a
00:10:53complex device for screening out a star's overwhelming
00:10:57glare. Together, the two tools will provide fresh
00:11:00data a range of questions. One of the most tantalizing among them
00:11:04being, other worlds like ours, somewhere
00:11:08else in the universe, how common sort of system like our
00:11:11own.
00:11:14To date, we have found over 6,00 planets circling
00:11:18other stars. Roman will dramatically expand our
00:11:21exoplanet catalog. NASA expects it to...
00:11:26more in the coming years. Most of those
00:11:29discovered so far have been very large as they're simply easier to
00:11:33spot across vast distances using
00:11:35indirect methods, but Roman should be able to see some of them
00:11:39directly. It will take really fuzzy
00:11:42pictures, we hope of planets around nearby stars with a technique called
00:11:46direct imaging. So not just using in direct indicators,
00:11:50but actually detecting exoplanets as faint points, even light years
00:11:54away. uh will block the light from the stars
00:11:57to see the light from the
00:12:01from the planet surface, and with that we think we'll be able to see Jupiter like
00:12:05objects. what about planets smaller than
00:12:09that, more similar earth, worlds that might be
00:12:12like our own. detecting those is the primary
00:12:16goal for the European space agency mission Plato,
00:12:19which is scheduled to launch early 2027. the
00:12:23ESA Space Telescope has 26 cameras and for
00:12:27years a time it will train them on nearby stars similar
00:12:31to our sun, because it will specifically focus
00:12:34on detecting earth like exoplanets up to the
00:12:37habitable zones around those stars, he says plateau
00:12:41will provide a great compliment to NASA's
00:12:43Roman. Roman will also help
00:12:46researchers see far beyond nearby
00:12:49exoplanets.
00:12:52the data it harvests should help provide brand new insights into
00:12:56a major cosmic mystery, Roman is going
00:12:59to be answering big questions about the dark universe,
00:13:03it has a gravitational pole, we can see its effect on other matter in
00:13:07the universe, but we don't know what it is, so we call it dark matter. dark energy
00:13:11is something else that has the opposite effect, it is driving the universe
00:13:14to expand, we don't know what it is, but we see it acts like inflating
00:13:18energy, so we called dark
00:13:19energy.
00:13:22little is known about the nature of dark. matter and dark
00:13:25energy, neither has actually ever been directly measured, but
00:13:29astronomers believe they've played a
00:13:33the universe that we can see.
00:13:36in models, dark matter makes up vast and visible web
00:13:40that shapes how galaxies form, move and
00:13:43evolve, while dark energy powers the
00:13:46expansion we see around us. understanding them better
00:13:49would tell us more about why things are the way they are today and
00:13:53where they're headed. "these are kind of fundamental questions
00:13:57about our universe, but they're really hard to
00:13:59answer.
00:14:02The Nancy Grace Roman space Telescope
00:14:06should bring us a step or two closer to answering
00:14:09them.
00:14:16From biocomputing imperfect information
00:14:20and interplanetary ambitions, that wraps
00:14:23things up this time around.
00:14:26Thanks for joining us and hope to see you again soon tomorrow
00:14:29today. Bye for now.
00:15:04Good evening, this is another Red Line, I am Marina Fratucan. In Bosnia
00:15:08and Herzegovina, the October general elections were once again
00:15:11marked by a war-torn past, national divisions, and a battle for
00:15:15the Croatian member of the presidency. In Serbia, extraordinary parliamentary elections under
00:15:19the shadow of a fallen canopy in Novi Sad, experts claim a never
00:15:23dirtier campaign with an uncertain outcome. Are political conflicts and hate speech
00:15:27in this campaign more important in the countries of the region than pre-election programs and solving
00:15:30real problems of citizens? Are
00:15:34citizens this time in a situation to elect capable but...
00:15:37unsuitable? Can previous abstainers in Serbia be animated by
00:15:41students, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, politicians who pretend to
00:15:44play music? Is a referendum-based or a multi-party electoral offer more
00:15:47important for Serbia, and what do new electoral
00:15:51technologies bring to Bosnia and Herzegovina? What are the similarities and differences of
00:15:55the October elections in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and how does official Zagreb,
00:15:58where pre-election coalitions were presented long before the new elections,
00:16:02view them? On the Red Line, Pale Dimitrijević from the Crta Organization,
00:16:06Krešimir Macan, political scientist, and Elvis Fejzić, professor at the Faculty
00:16:09of Political Sciences in Sarajevo, good evening to all, good
00:16:13evening, good evening, well, the election campaign is
00:16:16heating up, it's somehow in its final stages in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
00:16:19in Serbia at its peak, so to speak, meaning we still have a month, not
00:16:23even all electoral lists have been submitted yet, and Croatia is watching this from the side, so
00:16:27let's see how official Zagreb reacts to what awaits
00:16:31October in the region for these elections, but we saw, as I announced, there are
00:16:34some pre-election coalitions that were formed long ago. and before
00:16:38the elections, which should be in 19 months, parliamentary elections in Croatia, let's start with Bosnia
00:16:42and Herzegovina, which on October 4th,
00:16:46in the 10th month, will have general parliamentary
00:16:48elections, Mr. Fezić, we are here, I somehow
00:16:52mentioned in the announcement that there are few programs,
00:16:55singing, playing music, but by God,
00:16:59discussions about the war-torn past, national divisions,
00:17:02of course, what is important and what we will hear more about from
00:17:06Croatia about... about the election of the Croatian member of the presidency, how would
00:17:10you assess the current campaign which is soon ending?
00:17:13završava?
00:17:15Well, this is in principle something that has already been seen, right?
00:17:19mhm, this, I don't know which general elections in a row these
00:17:22are after the signing of the Dayton
00:17:25Peace Agreement, and
00:17:28somehow the impression is that we are not making
00:17:31steps forward when it comes to,
00:17:33one might say, this pacifist
00:17:37rhetoric and the very reintegration
00:17:40of the state, this, all the time the focus is,
00:17:43as you have already emphasized,
00:17:45uh, some political topics
00:17:49that are associated with the distant
00:17:52past, and what's more,
00:17:55even in this political campaign, pre-election campaign of political
00:17:59parties, these three
00:18:02distinct camps can somehow be differentiated, mhm,
00:18:05which correspond to these ethno- graphical lines,
00:18:09because somehow the focus is, for example,
00:18:13of parties for which the Bosniak electorate
00:18:16predominantly votes, the question of unity, the question
00:18:19of the state, and
00:18:22the question that speaks of progress forward of the state,
00:18:26society, and thus also
00:18:29this, therefore, national cohesion,
00:18:32mhm, while, for example, the focus of these
00:18:36Croatian political parties and parties
00:18:39gathered around HNS and HDZ, but this
00:18:42group of five somehow in focus, is
00:18:45it, that question of achieving,
00:18:48is it, or putting in the first plan, uh, those
00:18:51real political ailments of Croatian political
00:18:54representation, that is, therefore, to somehow
00:18:58achieve that legitimate Croatian
00:19:02representation in terms of electing a member
00:19:04of the presidency, but actually... to also
00:19:08reach this much-desired electoral
00:19:11reform where these ethnic electoral units would also be created,
00:19:15which is actually not good for the very
00:19:18integration of the state and its further construction, because it is, therefore, further
00:19:21division along ethnocratic notes would mean
00:19:25only taking a step backward, while, for example,
00:19:29with these parties that come from the smaller
00:19:32Bosnian-Herzegovinian entity, the Republika Srpska entity,
00:19:34this is clearly visible... that in the forefront,
00:19:38through these political platitudes and themes,
00:19:41this emphasizes, therefore,
00:19:45Republika Srpska as an entity, its desired
00:19:48autonomy, and even, therefore, that progress which has little
00:19:52to do with the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, of which
00:19:55Republika Srpska is an entity. All in all, one might say,
00:19:58a very, uh, let's say
00:20:01chaotic campaign in which there is sometimes
00:20:05hate speech because through this media sphere we have
00:20:09discreditations, I apologize for interrupting you, but this has also been highlighted by
00:20:13the Central Electoral Commission, this hate
00:20:16speech, but also sanctions for campaigning before the campaign where
00:20:19uh, one might say, participants participated
00:20:23before the official election campaign was announced, that's right, that's right, there
00:20:26have already been interventions by the Central Electoral Commission in that
00:20:30regard, but here, it continues all the time, I say, that
00:20:33personal discreditation of political
00:20:36rivals, mhm, where attempts are made in this
00:20:40detective sense to search for their
00:20:43past, various affairs, so
00:20:47to speak, by simulating
00:20:50uh... some possible
00:20:53scenarios of what could happen in the future
00:20:57through this detective discovery of what politicians
00:21:00did in previous mandates, even more, it's not only related
00:21:04to their performance of public duties, is
00:21:07it, some of these topics and discreditations even concern
00:21:11their private lives, their other relationships and so on, which would mean
00:21:14nothing new, as you also stated, new
00:21:18technologies are something new, we will talk about that a little later...
00:21:21biometric identification, scanners, which should
00:21:24help everything be transparent, uh, so there are no
00:21:27unknowns, but we will see, there were some test elections uh in recent
00:21:31weeks, but now let's go to Serbia, Mr.
00:21:35Dimitrijević, would you say that this campaign has already
00:21:38been seen, expected, we have quite a few, how to
00:21:42say, novelties uh, where that
00:21:45student list still comes out, which should animate and do you
00:21:49think it could animate abstainers,
00:21:52the atmosphere is very heated, uh, but what do you say, does
00:21:56it seem to you like previous campaigns or are we
00:21:59somehow in a different and distinct electoral
00:22:02cycle? It is certain that Serbia
00:22:06enters these elections in a different
00:22:09environment than in previous election processes for
00:22:12the simple reason that Serbia today is a deeply polarized
00:22:16society after the collapse of the awning. and
00:22:20after, uh, I would say, uh, uh,
00:22:24the emergence of the student movement, the circumstances in society
00:22:27have changed, and although there
00:22:30were very different attempts
00:22:33by the authorities to uh, somehow
00:22:37disperse and break the energy of the student
00:22:41movement, we have now actually entered the
00:22:44elections with two political
00:22:48actors who have a very prominent
00:22:51role, but apart from that, these
00:22:55elections have actually
00:22:57shown so far, and this entire election campaign,
00:23:00that truly unexpected things can be
00:23:04expected, mhm, so for the first time we also have
00:23:07uh the withdrawal of the
00:23:10list of the coalition of previously
00:23:13parliamentary parties that conducted their campaign
00:23:16in just five days, uh...
00:23:20Which means it's far from certain which electoral actors
00:23:24we will have in this race, until October 4th
00:23:27when the elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina are, the lists should be final, right?
00:23:31That's right. So, there's still a lot of
00:23:34time from that perspective, but I must say that
00:23:37this campaign period was truly marked by
00:23:41uh uh an incredible
00:23:45presence of President Vučić
00:23:48in the media, uh... and that
00:23:51constant, I would say, rhetoric
00:23:54of attacking political opponents,
00:23:58here are the latest monitoring results published by Crta in just the last
00:24:01week show that every other second
00:24:05is actually devoted to the opposition negatively, that, for example,
00:24:09President Vučić occupied
00:24:1246% of the total, total
00:24:16time dedicated to political actors, so that this
00:24:19absolute... media uh dominance on
00:24:22one side and somehow
00:24:25the desire of political actors
00:24:29from the government to absolutely
00:24:31uh degrade political opponents. We heard that in Bosnia and
00:24:35Herzegovina, the CIC sanctioned
00:24:37because the campaign before the campaign was conducted. You said
00:24:41here that in this election campaign, all records of abuse of office are being broken.
00:24:45You just mentioned some data, but here we have, from August, exactly
00:24:49Crta, where you come from. Aleksandar Vučić appeared
00:24:52129 times in live programs, while from March, a thousand
00:24:56different activities of officials in the field were recorded, even before the elections were even
00:25:00called, however, there are no such
00:25:03activities from the Central Electoral Commission as, for example, in Bosnia and
00:25:06Herzegovina. Well, there are no different ones while
00:25:09I must also say that the powers of the Central Electoral
00:25:13Commission in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republican Electoral
00:25:16Commission in Serbia, which is not a permanent body.
00:25:20As a lawyer, I say that our
00:25:22systems in that sense are very
00:25:25different, but regardless of that, we saw the campaign before the campaign
00:25:29in Serbia, and even for the first time,
00:25:33for example, rallies were organized,
00:25:36specifically a rally of, for example, the Serbian
00:25:39Progressive Party in the south
00:25:42of Serbia before the elections were called, where the slogan and name
00:25:45of the list were actually promoted, and where even the
00:25:49president, uh Vučić publicly called on his
00:25:53supporters to vote for that list, that publicly
00:25:56absolutely did not happen earlier, there was an attempt
00:26:00in Novi Sad, but it uh... didn't happen, and now here it's
00:26:04interesting who sanctions this, so if in Bosnia and Herzegovina it's the CIC, who sanctions it
00:26:07here? Well, here, such campaign
00:26:11activities before the campaign, we hope that the Agency for
00:26:15the Prevention of Corruption could process
00:26:18or sanction it, that's why we submitted
00:26:20a complaint or an initiative, uh, so
00:26:24we'll see what happens with that in the coming period, but
00:26:27uh, I won't say no one, but so
00:26:30far the institutions
00:26:32have remained mostly silent on such matters. Finally, to Croatia,
00:26:36it doesn't mean it's less important, but excuse me, Mr. Macan, at this moment
00:26:40we have two countries where it's truly burning, so to speak,
00:26:43pre-election, uh, how does Croatia view these two countries,
00:26:47I assume it's a little more interested in Bosnia and Herzegovina given
00:26:50the Croatian member of the presidency who is being elected, for years we know these elections have been problematic
00:26:54due to the way he is elected, but here,
00:26:58you tell me how official Zagreb
00:27:01views these elections in both
00:27:04countries. Well, I think my colleague from Sarajevo has already
00:27:08emphasized that, well, these elections are not
00:27:12only for the member of the Croatian presidency so important, and an equally
00:27:15big battle is being fought for the Bosniak member
00:27:18of the presidency. There, let's say, the Croatian side expects that Bosniak
00:27:22votes will be mobilized in the
00:27:25Bosniak elections for a member of the presidency, so we have Denis Bićirević
00:27:29from the SDP and parties that support him on the other side.
00:27:32Bakir Izetbegović's side who, let's say, has put
00:27:36all his cards on being elected as a member of the presidency as
00:27:39the president of the SDA, so in principle, let's say Croats
00:27:43are doing everything they can, but they hope for something they could never influence, which is
00:27:47how many Bosniaks will vote for the Croatian member of the presidency. That's what
00:27:50they want to change. If someone from the Croatian ranks
00:27:54is elected without Bosniak votes, that will already be
00:27:58a step forward, and that's what, let's say, primarily interests
00:28:02Croatia. Croatia, but well, Croatia generally wants Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:28:05to continue its European path, to have a stable
00:28:08partner across the border, to have a stable government. It has been shown
00:28:12in the past four years that when the high representative intervened
00:28:15to form the government, it still
00:28:19functioned. So, we had before that a mandate in which we de facto had
00:28:23an acting prime minister for a long time, or rather, the government could not be formed
00:28:26at all due to complicated rules and laws. So,
00:28:30what I mean is, we primarily want a functional government and that Croats
00:28:34are represented in the presidency, and in the government, they have practically
00:28:37participated in every government so far, but not in the presidency. That's the main topic, and now we need
00:28:41to see who will pass with the HDZ, let's say, pulling an ace
00:28:44out of its sleeve, that we have for the first time someone who could seriously, as a woman,
00:28:48enter the presidency uh
00:28:51uh the presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. They had female candidates before,
00:28:55but they didn't have a chance. This is the first time that uh a woman could
00:28:59be the president in the uh
00:29:02member of the presidency on behalf of Croats. We see
00:29:06Darijana Filipović is currently the favorite, but it remains to be seen,
00:29:09I say, we don't know how Bosniaks will vote, so
00:29:13uh we are waiting for that. As for this, when I listened to both
00:29:17sets of rules, Bosnia and Herzegovina is quite well regulated, even too strictly.
00:29:20meaning it is written there what is not allowed in
00:29:24Serbia it is quite like uh
00:29:28not so precise not so precise precisely so that it can be
00:29:31manipulated with. "I think that let's say the biggest
00:29:35mistake of all those who wanted to prepare to go to the
00:29:38elections was that not enough pressure was exerted to implement at least something from
00:29:42those 21 recommendations so that the election battle
00:29:45would be equalized, because what everyone is asking for, I mean if you strive towards the European
00:29:49Union, in that campaign period
00:29:52everyone has equal opportunities, so even if before the campaign
00:29:56you have such a domination, at least those three weeks, however long the campaign is decided
00:30:00to last, you should have an equal number."
00:30:02appearances, equal opportunities and so on, I don't know if that will succeed, my colleague from
00:30:06tota will explain better mm let's briefly touch on, we will continue
00:30:10of course this part, first of all I am interested in of course Croatian support
00:30:13for Milorad Dodik who cannot participate but he is on billboards with
00:30:17slogans, yes, so that part we will discuss a little later, the traditional
00:30:21connection uh of HDZ BiH of course and
00:30:24SNSD, but let's also touch on Croatia, as I said in the introduction, in the
00:30:27previous days, during the past week, this alliance, we can
00:30:31also mention SDP, which in principle was announced, now it has been formalized, but
00:30:35let's remember that on the 24th it was not in all places, that is, in
00:30:39all constituencies it was not uh, how to
00:30:41say, formed, because exactly we can say that somewhere SDP
00:30:45might have ruined their result, so how do you comment that they have now
00:30:49decided to truly and officially
00:30:51unite in a coalition almost 19 months before the elections, we also
00:30:55see some election polls saying that together they in this last
