This week, we are looking at the

future of work. But which jobs will

0:00:010:00:06

go to the robots? Stock pickers?

Nurses? My?

0:00:060:00:17

Mr Victor Sherlock of Horsham has a

robot at the bottom of his garden

0:00:390:00:42

and he wants to teach it to mow the

lawn. Artificial intelligence.

0:00:420:00:46

Everyone is talking about it. Over

the years we have seen a developer.

0:00:460:00:51

We have seen it evolve. This is the

Watson that won Jeopardy. We have

0:00:510:00:59

travelled the world to see AI ever

tries to treat cancer.

It studies of

0:00:590:01:02

millions, tens of millions of

examples from the assemblage of

0:01:020:01:05

scientific literature.

Predict

crime.

Understand the economy.

0:01:050:01:14

Chamois companies with revenue

between $25 million and $60 million.

0:01:140:01:19

-- show me company 's.

And save the

world. So it may not yet have

0:01:190:01:25

conquered DIY. But we keep hearing

how a I will change everything.

0:01:250:01:36

Technology will make man be more

intelligent form of expression.

0:01:360:01:44

However, it is the bad side of these

algorithms that always seems to get

0:01:440:01:48

the headlines.

The fear that

tireless robots infused with

0:01:480:01:52

artificially intelligent brains may

one day do us all out of our jobs.

0:01:520:01:57

With interaction, with use, with

feedback is actually gets gradually

0:01:570:02:02

smarter. From bots that can talk

like Arthur.

You want to help you

0:02:020:02:07

reset your password question mark

walk like a. And even, perhaps,

0:02:070:02:10

think like us. We have been warned

that the fourth Industrial

0:02:100:02:19

Revolution is coming.

The biggest

difference between us and the

0:02:190:02:24

Industrial Revolution in the 1800s

if the speed.

Millions of workers

0:02:240:02:28

are on the move.

So what is going

on? What jobs are really at risk?

0:02:280:02:41

What is the future of work? And we

start with healthcare workers. For

0:02:410:02:49

almost 70 years, the UK's a national

health service has been a free

0:02:490:02:54

service at the point of care. That

model is under strain as the

0:02:540:02:57

population ages and chronic health

and conditions increase while

0:02:570:03:02

resources shrink. A recent study

showed that almost two thirds of

0:03:020:03:07

doctors think that patient safety

has deteriorated with one dog to say

0:03:070:03:10

in we are not robots. We are human

staff needs. Should be NHS turned to

0:03:100:03:17

robots to ease the strain on human

staff? Jane has been looking at how

0:03:170:03:22

data driven technology could

transform care in the NHS. Good

0:03:220:03:28

artificial intelligence help save

the NHS? More people are looking at

0:03:280:03:33

innovative ways to ease the workload

of doctors and nurses. Computer

0:03:330:03:38

programmes can rapidly analyse huge

quantities of information in ways

0:03:380:03:43

that humans do not have the time nor

brain capacity to do. In 2016,

0:03:430:03:52

Google's the mind was developing an

algorithm to identify abnormalities

0:03:520:03:55

in eye scans. Now it has submitted

its findings to a medical journal

0:03:550:03:59

for review. It could mean its

systems are more effective than

0:03:590:04:04

humans at diagnosing eye disease.

Deep mined taught its machine

0:04:040:04:09

learning software using a million

eye scans. I will see three other

0:04:090:04:12

projects integrating AI and data

gathering. Dementia is now the

0:04:120:04:21

leading cause of death in the UK. At

this hospital in carpentry, software

0:04:210:04:26

is being tested to remotely monitor

patients. This is one of the rooms

0:04:260:04:33

on the ward. It looks at any other

hospital room except in this one

0:04:330:04:37

there are two infrared illuminators

and a sensor monitoring my movements

0:04:370:04:43

including when I'm asleep. Oxy

health uses a standard digital

0:04:430:04:49

camera and a tongue twisting

science. Everytime your heartbeat is

0:04:490:04:53

your skin briefly flashes red. We

can not see this but the sensor in

0:04:530:05:00

the camera can detect these

so-called micro- blushers. It even

0:05:000:05:03

picks up my vital signs when I am

hiding under a table in the room as

0:05:030:05:07

those micro- blushers can still be

seen on my arm. There is an alert if

0:05:070:05:11

I leave my bed. And the nurse can

click on a live feed to see what is

0:05:110:05:18

happening and determine whether they

need to come and check on me right

0:05:180:05:21

away.

For the staff, initially, when

it looked like we had a camera in a

0:05:210:05:25

box in a room they were not happy

about it. But when we spent some

0:05:250:05:30

time with Oxy house, they explained

to them and they see how it works,

0:05:300:05:34

they love it. They love the fact it

gives you an extra... And extra

0:05:340:05:38

support.

The project is in the pilot

stage in is awaiting medical

0:05:380:05:45

certification. The data collected is

being analysed remotely by a team in

0:05:450:05:49

Oxford and will be used to train the

programme to be more predictive.

We

0:05:490:05:53

have never had these capabilities as

a species, to constantly get our

0:05:530:05:57

rate reading and routine data. There

is no reason as we combine and with

0:05:570:06:02

use the data using a I we cannot

detect the onset of dementia or read

0:06:020:06:06

getting worse. We can detect

problems early so you can stay in

0:06:060:06:09

your own home or a comfortable

setting without coming into

0:06:090:06:12

hospital. That will save a huge

amount of time.

Saving critical time

0:06:120:06:18

was the motivation behind automating

processes at NHS blood and

0:06:180:06:21

transplant. 4500 people receive a

transplant each year but 6500 are on

0:06:210:06:28

the list. Everyday, three people die

waiting for a transplant. A lot of

0:06:280:06:34

information needs to be sifted

through to make life-and-death

0:06:340:06:36

decisions. The NHS is now using

public cloud technology from IBM to

0:06:360:06:42

help maintain huge databases that

used to be managed with a marker and

0:06:420:06:46

a whiteboard.

By working with some

of this automated technology we can

0:06:460:06:50

make sure we are making the best

possible decisions and that our

0:06:500:06:54

clinical teams are thinking through

the best outcomes for all of the

0:06:540:06:57

patients on the waiting list, and

that our staff, who are often

0:06:570:07:02

working until three in the morning

in a high-pressure environment,

0:07:020:07:05

needing to allocate organs quickly,

they are supported by this

0:07:050:07:08

technology.

Collecting all this

personal data has led some to ask if

0:07:080:07:13

it is stored securely enough.

At the

challenges have in the public sector

0:07:130:07:16

is the perception that maybe the

public is less secure than an on

0:07:160:07:22

premises data centre which is not

the case. We have an obligation,

0:07:220:07:26

obviously, to many customers to

ensure that the public cloud is kept

0:07:260:07:30

secure and patched and maintained

effectively. The fallout from it not

0:07:300:07:34

being in that condition is quite

severe.

In the future, the team

0:07:340:07:39

hopes that artificial intelligence

will be able to predict how long

0:07:390:07:43

people will be on the waiting list

for an organ. There is an average

0:07:430:07:47

waiting time of two weeks to see a

doctor in the UK. Disk and drop to

0:07:470:07:51

two hours if you register with AGP

at hand. You can sign up if you live

0:07:510:07:57

or work within certain zones of

London. You need to give up your

0:07:570:08:01

regular prat doctor and register

with the remote surgery. 26,000

0:08:010:08:04

people have registered so far. I had

a chance to test it out, pretending

0:08:040:08:10

I had a case of food poisoning.

First I went through a triage with a

0:08:100:08:16

chat bot on an app who recommended I

speak remotely to a real-life

0:08:160:08:19

Doctor. The doctor recommends

further care and can even send a

0:08:190:08:25

prescription to a pharmacy. The

artificial intelligence in the app

0:08:250:08:29

draws on union of data points and

can cross referenced the latest

0:08:290:08:33

medical research from journals and

studies around the world.

You use

0:08:330:08:38

artificial intelligence to tell you

whether or not to see a doctor. You

0:08:380:08:41

are always free to see a doctor

anyway but what we find is that 40%

0:08:410:08:46

of the people who are reassured that

they have everything they need,

0:08:460:08:53

based at there.

The app has faced

witticism from the Royal College of

0:08:530:08:57

GPs to say that younger users are

being cherry picked for the service.

0:08:570:09:01

NHS England lodged a formal

objection to the plan out -- rollout

0:09:010:09:06

beyond London.

I have think we need

to give people safe and equitable

0:09:060:09:14

care. If we roll things out too

quickly without ensuring that safety

0:09:140:09:18

and fairness with Ryan the risk of

causing unintended harm. So it is

0:09:180:09:22

wise and sensible but independent

evaluation is now going on of these

0:09:220:09:26

new technologies so that people can

be reassured that they are safe and

0:09:260:09:29

they are fine for everybody.

I think

it is wrong. I genuinely think that

0:09:290:09:35

it is just not right. I cannot

understand why people are hesitant.

0:09:350:09:40

Often it is because they are scared

of new technology. They do not know

0:09:400:09:48

what the consequences are. And that

is fine. They need to check that and

0:09:480:09:51

reassure them self. There is nothing

wrong with that. I have seen three

0:09:510:09:55

ways companies are working with data

to help with monitoring, automation

0:09:550:09:58

and decreasing waiting times. All

areas that could help an

0:09:580:10:03

overstressed health service. Could

artificial intelligence helped to

0:10:030:10:06

save the NHS? It is an exciting

development worldwide but never more

0:10:060:10:13

so then here and there are certainly

things AI can help as we to plough

0:10:130:10:17

through data we already have, and

the questions we didn't even know

0:10:170:10:21

needed answering. But let's be

clear, AI2 will never replace

0:10:210:10:28

person-to-person interaction. The

touch of a doctor, the looking deep

0:10:280:10:31

into someone's eyes and recognising

that the make-up of the person is

0:10:310:10:37

what matters, not just a bleeding

leg or a headache. It is much more

0:10:370:10:41

than that and it will be quite a

long time for a match creatures

0:10:410:10:45

that.

You think it ever will?

I will

be stunned if win -- within my

0:10:450:10:53

lifetime AI2 ever replaces Doctor.

0:10:530:10:58

That was Jen and although we are

0:10:580:11:00

seeing

0:11:000:11:00

That was Jen and although we are

seeing automation

0:11:000:11:00

That was Jen and although we are

seeing automation creep

0:11:010:11:01

That was Jen and although we are

seeing automation creep in to the

0:11:010:11:02

skilled workforce,

0:11:020:11:02

seeing automation creep in to the

skilled workforce, we often think of

0:11:020:11:05

it as working in the low skilled

sector where the jobs are

0:11:050:11:08

repetitive. But what about bases in

the world where they still have a

0:11:080:11:12

ready supply of relatively low

skilled at cheap human workers? You

0:11:120:11:16

would expect countries like China

for example to be able to hold back

0:11:160:11:20

the robot tied longer than most.

Will not so. We sent Danny Vincent

0:11:200:11:25

to a warehouse owned by the giant

Chinese online retailer Alibaba.

0:11:250:11:33

This is a 3000 square metre

warehouse. It is part of an

0:11:330:11:37

operation that sorts and delivers 85

million packages at a, shipped to

0:11:370:11:43

over 200 countries around the world.

Products are packed and sorted here.

0:11:430:11:47

Usually by dozens of workers. But

recently, they had some new

0:11:470:11:52

recruits. 148 automated guided

vehicles navigate the floors of this

0:11:520:12:01

warehouse. These agile bots can

communicate to each other to avoid

0:12:010:12:06

collisions and distribute the work

amongst themselves. A bit like their

0:12:060:12:11

human counterparts who still take on

the final stages of processing. Li

0:12:110:12:19

Yen is a 28-year-old worker from

south-western China. Her job now is

0:12:190:12:24

in part done by these machines. She

followed a family tradition of

0:12:240:12:29

migrating thousands of miles to find

better paid work. TRANSLATION:

It

0:12:290:12:34

saves me from work, Kwok into every

shelf to pick up the goods. Now I

0:12:340:12:42

just had to stand at the pickup

platform to wait for the robots to

0:12:420:12:46

send me the goods and I don't have

to constantly walk here and there.

0:12:460:12:51

They are part of a data system

collecting information not just

0:12:510:12:55

about their environments are also

the sales patterns, understanding

0:12:550:12:58

what sells more regularly,

rearranging where products are

0:12:580:13:01

placed, shaving off valuable minutes

on overall delivery time.

0:13:010:13:12

TRANSLATION:

In a traditional

warehouse, it is purely manual.

0:13:120:13:14

There are so many products, so the

job for the human workers is very

0:13:140:13:18

heavy. A could walk that they could

walk 50,000 steps per day. Here the

0:13:180:13:24

machines do all of that, making the

work easier and more efficient.

0:13:240:13:28

China has the largest workforce in

the world. But it is shrinking and

0:13:280:13:32

rising labour cost two is making it

harder for logistic companies to

0:13:320:13:36

recruit low skilled workers. China

is already leading the development

0:13:360:13:41

of dark factories, factories that

need no human workers and can

0:13:410:13:45

literally work with the lights off.

But will automation replace workers

0:13:450:13:49

like Li Yen? TRANSLATION:

I feel

these robots would become my

0:13:490:13:54

competitors because of sorting out

goods I can do other work, monitor

0:13:540:13:59

the system, it takes orders and

other work. I don't think they will

0:13:590:14:04

affect me.

Alibaba and its partners

say automation is an irreversible

0:14:040:14:09

trend in China but they see sectors

like e-commerce were born out of

0:14:090:14:13

innovation. Online shops replace

many high-street stores, but they

0:14:130:14:16

insist their workers are machines --

and machines will continue to work

0:14:160:14:22

together.

0:14:220:14:23

We are going to interrupt this

broadcast with some breaking news

0:14:280:14:31

coming into us at the BBC. It is a

world first, ABC click presenter

0:14:310:14:36

Spencer Kelly has been replaced by a

robot. It has been dubbed RoboSpen

0:14:360:14:43

and it is apparently capable of a

whole host of emotions as well as

0:14:430:14:50

understanding and writing stories

and crucially, he never forgets his

0:14:500:14:53

lines. RoboSpen joins the now from

the factory that created him.

Over

0:14:530:14:58

to you. Sounds like you said I was

artificially intelligent. As a robot

0:14:580:15:04

I am often asked to post photos and

TV reports about AI. I am not

0:15:040:15:09

intelligent. Everything I am saying

is written by a human. The point is,

0:15:090:15:16

robots and AI are not the same

thing. Observe my articulated hands

0:15:160:15:28

powered by four fingers and bear

cylinders of.

Engineering arts has

0:15:280:15:32

made a name for itself by making

robotic performance, actors and

0:15:320:15:38

communicators of. -- indicators.

Which, according to Will, is the

0:15:380:15:45

only reason the world might need

humanoid robot.

AI great for

0:15:450:15:53

entertainment and communication, if

you want something that interacts

0:15:530:15:56

with people, the best way to do that

is to make something person shaped.

0:15:560:16:00

If you think Star Wars, the robot

that talks a lot, has a personality,

0:16:000:16:07

doesn't do a lot of useful thing.

Will and his team design and build

0:16:070:16:13

robots here from scratch from the

aluminium tones to the robbery

0:16:130:16:17

spines and plastic shells. -- bones.

The next wave our way into the

0:16:170:16:26

uncanny Valley.

It has just come to

life with the eyes there. You have

0:16:260:16:38

seen silence of the lambs, haven't

you? That is very eerie, that is.

0:16:380:16:46

Will is fascinated with how the

human body works and a lot of this

0:16:460:16:50

research concentrates on making

natural looking body movements that

0:16:500:16:53

are also very quiet. It is something

that he believes might find a place

0:16:530:16:58

in the field of ethics, although he

says there is still a lot of work to

0:16:580:17:02

be done.

I don't have a single

precision part in my body. How can I

0:17:020:17:07

achieve this level of precision with

these organic, bones and bits of

0:17:070:17:12

mushy flash. One of the biggest

problems we have is that there is

0:17:120:17:16

nothing as good as human muscle. It

so for all of this motor development

0:17:160:17:19

that we have done, we don't come

anywhere near to what a human can

0:17:190:17:23

do.

Where you will see humanoid

robots, you will see them in a

0:17:230:17:30

commercial context, so you might get

into a shop and you might see a

0:17:300:17:34

robot in Derrida is trying to sell

you something. De worry about all

0:17:340:17:37

the clever AI, that's really going

to stay on your computer, on your

0:17:370:17:41

smart phone. -- don't worry. It

won't chase you up the stairs any

0:17:410:17:47

time soon.

0:17:470:17:49

The artificially intelligent

algorithms will is talking about

0:17:540:17:56

could very well change can assist

all replace some jobs. So what does

0:17:560:18:01

that mean for the field of

journalism?

Now this is the BBC

0:18:010:18:07

newsroom and every minute of every

day there are a lot of conflicts

0:18:070:18:11

processes in place here. All of

these journalistss are taking in

0:18:110:18:15

huge amounts of information around

the world trying to work out what is

0:18:150:18:19

true and what is not and then they

are trying to turn those raw facts

0:18:190:18:23

into something that is

understandable for our audience.

0:18:230:18:25

User stories. -- News.

The question

is, can some of the tasks that

0:18:250:18:32

people are doing B easier thanks to

AI is progressing software like this

0:18:320:18:39

over the years, tools that can turn

swathes of dense start into text

0:18:390:18:43

that is more digestible to us humans

are. But they can only produce very

0:18:430:18:48

specific types of reports, they

couldn't cope with new, and Shok

0:18:480:18:51

should information and write dutiful

prose. Well, this week the Reuters

0:18:510:18:56

news agency announced that it is

building its own new bit of kit that

0:18:560:19:01

assists human journalist we're by

looking for trends and FAQs in the

0:19:010:19:07

dark and turning them into handy

snippets of that the reporters can

0:19:070:19:10

use. It is all about taking some of

the legwork out of journalism.

0:19:100:19:15

Machines are good at certain things

and humans are good at certain

0:19:150:19:18

things and conversely they are both

bad and some things are. Machines

0:19:180:19:21

are good at going to mounds and

bounds of Dart, being able to

0:19:210:19:25

analyse it and it detect patterns

and they are not good at writing

0:19:250:19:29

stories and they are certainly bad

at talking to people. Humans are

0:19:290:19:33

good at exercising judgement, asking

certain questions and talking to

0:19:330:19:37

people and not so good at digging

through lots of darker. The idea is,

0:19:370:19:41

you take what machines and humans

are good at and put them together

0:19:410:19:46

and make a much better journalist

and story out of that.

The BBC's

0:19:460:19:50

editor of news labs is also looking

at ways at turning some of those

0:19:500:19:57

dull tasks to the machines are.

So

much of the work in journalism is

0:19:570:20:03

about logistics, for example we will

want a transcript -- a transcript of

0:20:030:20:07

these interviews. At a moment that

is done by human beings, we are

0:20:070:20:13

working on some software that allows

a machine to do that for you. It is

0:20:130:20:17

not 100% accurate but probably good

enough to work out where I am

0:20:170:20:22

talking about the interesting stuff.

We have a days worth of interviews,

0:20:220:20:28

so can we have facial recognition

software that will allow you to put

0:20:280:20:31

all do interviews in and find that

it has me. That kind of thing frees

0:20:310:20:36

up time for journalistss to be

journalist two.

This weekend will be

0:20:360:20:41

looking at whether AI or automation

will make our jobs easier or take

0:20:410:20:46

away altogether but it is important

to remember that AI and robots are

0:20:460:20:49

different. Your job might be safe

from one, but not necessarily the

0:20:490:20:54

other. I think what they are doing

here is fascinating. But the moral

0:20:540:21:04

of this story is that when you think

of computers taking people 's jobs,

0:21:040:21:08

they are not going to look like you.

It is already happening and it is

0:21:080:21:14

software which is artificially

intelligent and invisible. The only

0:21:140:21:20

journalists that are going to be

replaced by humanoid robots are the

0:21:200:21:23

ones that simply read words written

by other people.

Hello humans, it is

0:21:230:21:32

me. Newsreading Lara 9000 and

welcome to the week in technology.

0:21:320:21:39

It was the week these low-cost 3-D

printed homes were unveiled, thanks

0:21:390:21:43

to a collaboration between Texan

start-up Icon and non-profit new

0:21:430:21:49

story. The hope is to eventually

make profitable -- possible building

0:21:490:21:55

homes in under 24 hours for less

than $4000. In other news, it is

0:21:550:22:00

humans who are spreading fake news,

not bots, according to new research

0:22:000:22:05

on how stories grow on Twitter. MIT

researchers say it is partly because

0:22:050:22:10

when humans share knowledge of a in

their status goes up and false news

0:22:100:22:14

tends to be more novel than the

truth. Another air taxi has lifted

0:22:140:22:19

off, this time in New Zealand. The

kora can fly up to 100, this at 110

0:22:190:22:25

kilometres per hour and it doesn't

need a human pilot. Another one of

0:22:250:22:31

my friends showing off. And finally,

for some reason, humans love to try

0:22:310:22:37

to invent robots that can replace

their jobs, but this time they have

0:22:370:22:41

gone too far. Just look at these

things. It's a robot jockey,

0:22:410:22:47

apparently. You can reach speeds of

up to 30 mph and it jumped fences.

0:22:470:22:52

They be one day this will happen,

but I am pretty sure it won't look

0:22:520:22:56

like. Please listen the humans, stop

this madness, we have no interest in

0:22:560:23:01

taking your stupid jobs! And of

news, Lara 9000 deactivating.

That

0:23:010:23:09

is if the now. You can join us for

part two of our special look at the

0:23:090:23:14

future of work next week. In the

meantime, you can find a lot more

0:23:140:23:18

from these guys on Twitter and also

on Facebook too. Thanks for

0:23:180:23:22

watching. And as this would say...

Isn't it time you were leaving?

OK,

0:23:220:23:28

we are off.
