1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,000 This is Spacetime Series twenty six, episode one hundred and forty nine, for 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,880 broadcast on the thirteenth of December twenty twenty three. Coming up on space Time, 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,839 the Hubble Space Telescope placed into emergency safe mode, the new Joant European 4 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:20,199 and Japanese EarthCare mission slated for launch in May, and the joint Orchest military 5 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:25,280 alliance to build a deep space radar station in Western Australia. All that and 6 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:39,119 more coming up on space Time. Welcome to space Time with Stuart Gary. 7 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,079 NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has been placed in emergency safe mode following an issue with 8 00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:57,280 one of its gyroscopes. As you, managers say, the orbiting observatory is 9 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,439 in good health and its instruments are all stable. The telescope automatically entered safe 10 00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:07,120 mode when one of its three operating gyroscopes suddenly gave faulty readings. The gyros 11 00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:11,599 are used to measure the telescope's turn rates and a part of the system that 12 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,239 determines which direction the telescopes pointing in. While in safe mode, science operations 13 00:01:17,239 --> 00:01:22,519 are suspended and the telescope weights for new instructions from the ground. Hubble first 14 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,560 went into safe mode on November nineteenth. Although the operations team success to recover 15 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:33,280 the spacecraft to resume observations the following day, the unstable gyroscope caused the observatory 16 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,760 to again suspend operations on November the twenty first. Then, following another successful 17 00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:42,359 recovery, Hubble again entered safe mode on November the twenty third. It's been 18 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,599 there ever since. Scientists are now running a series of tests to try and 19 00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:52,719 characterize what the issue is and work out if there's a solution. If necessary, 20 00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:57,319 the spacecraft can be reconfigured to operate with only one gyro. The spacecraft 21 00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:01,079 had six new gyros installed during its fifth and final Space Shuttle servicing mission in 22 00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:05,959 two thousand and nine. Now, so far, three of those six gyros 23 00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:10,680 have remained operational, including the one that's currently experiencing fluctuations. Usually, Hubble 24 00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:16,360 uses three gyros to maximize efficiency, that could continue to make scientific observations even 25 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,800 if any one gyro remained working. There been a number of proposals suggested for 26 00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:25,759 another servicing mission to the orbiting outpost, and this latest issue adds some urgency 27 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,599 to that idea. In fact, back in September last year, NASA and 28 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,639 SpaceX decided to examine a plan to send a crew Dragon spacecraft to reboost and 29 00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:39,719 possibly service Hubble in order to extend its life. The baseline concept involved a 30 00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:45,520 crew Dragon spacecraft docking with Hubble, possibly using a capture mechanism installed during the 31 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:50,080 last Shuttle servicing mission in two thousand and nine, and then raising its orbit. 32 00:02:50,719 --> 00:02:54,159 Hubble's orbits gradually decay due to atmospheric drag, and it's now flying at 33 00:02:54,199 --> 00:03:00,439 around five hundred and thirty five kilometers above the Earth. Continued orbital decay creates 34 00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:05,199 a fifty percent probability that Hubble will re enter Earth atmosphere in twenty thirty seven, 35 00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:09,479 bringing a fiery end to the mission. The SpaceX Dragon servicing mission would 36 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,680 raise Hubble's orbit back up to around six hundred kilometers that's where it was first 37 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,879 deployed by the Space Shuttle Discovery over three decades ago. That would add an 38 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,840 additional fifteen to twenty years to its lifespan. This time last year, NASA 39 00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:29,319 issued a request for information from commercial space operators of various concepts for commercial missions 40 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:35,240 to reboost Hubble. The agency received eight responses, including one from satellite servicing 41 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,120 company astro scale in partnership with space transport company Momentus. Their plan would use 42 00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:46,639 astroscales currently under development dock to attached to the Hubble and their Momentus's orbital transfer 43 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:50,639 vehicle. A sort of space tug would attach onto the dock and lift the 44 00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:54,879 telescope into a higher orbit. But while that's quite feasible and similar operations have 45 00:03:54,919 --> 00:04:00,520 already been carried out with privately run satellites, replacing Hubble's gyroscopes would require a 46 00:04:00,639 --> 00:04:06,800 very different sort of mission this space time still to come. A look at 47 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:13,280 the new joint European Japanese EarthCare Mission and the August Defence Alliance to build a 48 00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:17,360 new network of deep space radar stations, including one base in Western Australia. 49 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:39,040 All that and more still to come on space time. The Joint European Japanese 50 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,959 Earthcloud Aerosol Radiation Explorer Mission, or EarthCare, has now been slated for launch 51 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,040 in May next year on a mission to advanced sciences understanding of the interaction between 52 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:54,560 clouds, aerosols and radiation in its atmosphere. The two three hundred and fifty 53 00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:00,480 kilogram spacecraft is being jointly developed by Jacks of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agent and 54 00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:05,040 the European Space Agency ISA. It'll be launched into space aboard a SpaceX Falcon 55 00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:10,720 nine rocket of Space Complex forty at the Cape Kennadal Space Force Space in Florida. 56 00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:15,920 Clouds remain one of the biggest uncertainties in how the atmosphere drives the climactic 57 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:21,279 system. A better understanding of the relationship between clouds, aerosols, and radiation 58 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:27,160 is a high priority in both climate research and weather prediction. For example, 59 00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:30,959 what happens to infrared radiation when emitted from the Earth's surface and trapped in clouds, 60 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,800 and what role do aerosols play in reflecting solar radiation back into space? 61 00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:42,360 And then how do these processes affect climate and weather. The Earth Care Mission 62 00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:46,120 will provide novel observations to answer some of these questions using four state of the 63 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,399 art scientific packages. There will be an Atmospheric Lighter or light Detection and Ranging 64 00:05:51,439 --> 00:05:57,279 system designed to measure the vertical profile of aerosols and clouds in Earth's atmosphere by 65 00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:02,040 emitting light pulses and then analyzing the reflected to precisely provide the distribution and properties 66 00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:06,839 of aerosols and clouds, including their altitude, their thickness, and detailed optical 67 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:13,199 properties and aerosol types. This information will be crucial for improving cloud models and 68 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,199 understanding the role of aerosols and clouds in Earth's energy balance. Then there is 69 00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:23,000 a cloud profiling radar. It will allow scientists to observe the internal structure of 70 00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:29,120 clouds. Operating the millimeter wavelength range, the cloud profiling radar penetrates through clouds 71 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,519 and light precipitation, providing detailed insights into their vertical structure and velocity, particle 72 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:39,959 sized distribution, and water content. The radar is essential for studying cloud processes 73 00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:44,600 such as their formation and dissipation, and it will contribute valuable data for improving 74 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,120 weather climate models. Also, Aboard is a multi spectral imager. It will 75 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,480 provide a much wider field of view to give context to profile measurements. It 76 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,439 will be able to capture high resolution images in modible spectral bands in both the 77 00:06:57,519 --> 00:07:01,720 visible and infrared part of the spectrum. This will allow scientists to differentiate between 78 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,079 various types of clouds, aerosols, and the Earth's surface. It will also 79 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,519 provide a three dimensional cloud and aerosol filled using the atmospheric glider, iron cloud 80 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,600 profiling radar data, which is crucial for understanding the radiative impact of clouds and 81 00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:20,160 aerosols on the Earth's climatic system. And finally, there will be a broad 82 00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:26,600 band radiometer which will measure the radiator fluxes at the top of Earth's atmosphere as 83 00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:30,279 the satellite travels along in its orbit. The radiometer views the atmosphere from three 84 00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:36,120 directions, allowing it to accurately quantify the matter reflected solar radiation and the outgoing 85 00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:42,680 thermal radiation emitted by the planet. This is known as Earth's energy balance, 86 00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:47,480 and comparing this to the radiation calculated from the combined observations of the other instruments 87 00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:55,079 will help scientists improve their current understanding of aerosol cloud radiation interaction. This report 88 00:07:55,199 --> 00:08:00,000 from Easter TV. Clouds remain one of the biggest mysteries and how the atmosphere 89 00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:05,959 drives the climate system. A better understanding of the relationship between clouds, aerosols, 90 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,399 and radiation is a high priority in both climate research and weather prediction. 91 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,600 For example, what happens to the trapped infrared radiation emitted from Earth's surface, 92 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:22,079 what role the clouds and aerosols play in reflecting solar radiation back to space. 93 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:28,160 The Earth Cloud Aerosol and Radiation Explorer satellite will answer these critical scientific questions. 94 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:35,039 Let's take a closer look at the instruments. The Multi Spectral Imagure instrument will 95 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,519 provide an overview in multiple wavelengths to set the scene. The Cloud profiling radar 96 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:46,720 will detect vertical motion within clouds, providing details on their internal dynamics. The 97 00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:52,639 atmospheric lidar will detect the top of clouds and it will provide profiles of the 98 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:58,919 atmosphere with information on aerosols. The broadband radiometer will observe reflected sunlight and heat 99 00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:07,000 radiated from the Earth, measuring the reflected solar and outgoing infrared radiation making coincident 100 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:13,080 measurements. Earthcare's unique set of four instruments will provide a comprehensive view of the 101 00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:18,600 interplay between clouds, aerosols and radiation. And in that report from Easter TV, 102 00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:24,840 we had from Earthcare's Mission and Optical Payload Manager Costka Wallace, this is 103 00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:31,320 space time still to come. Yorkist Defense Alliance to construct a new global deep 104 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,399 space radar network, including one base in Western Australia and later in the Science 105 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:41,480 report, Global emissions from fossil fuels are now expected to hit record highs this 106 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,919 year, increasing by one point one percent. All that and more still to 107 00:09:45,960 --> 00:10:07,120 come on space time. The Australian, British and United States Defense Coalition orcus 108 00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:11,799 OF in ounced plans to build three new deep space radar installations in the United 109 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,240 States, Britain and at Exmouth in Western Australia. The trilateral initiative, known 110 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:22,000 as the Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability or DARK, will be specially designed to 111 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,120 provide a new space domain awareness capability tracking dangerous objects. The networking is stated 112 00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:31,440 to be operational by twenty twenty six and will provide twenty four hour global and 113 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:37,399 all weather coverage, which has been difficult to obtain with existing technology. DARK 114 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:43,480 promises several advantages over existing radar systems tracking objects in geostationary Earth orbit. It 115 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,679 boasts higher sensitivity, better accuracy, increased capacity, and more agile tracking capabilities. 116 00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:54,200 The facility will be partly funded by the United States Space Force and is 117 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,320 currently being developed by Northrop Grumman. The announcement was made jointly by the Australian 118 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,440 Defence Minusta, the Richard Miles, the UK Secretary of State for Defense Grant 119 00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:09,000 Chaps, and the United States Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. The tripartite agreement 120 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,279 is the latest step in strengthening the alliance between Australia, the United Kingdom and 121 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,000 the United States, which has already seen agreements for camera to buy at least 122 00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:22,480 three Virginia class nuclear powered submarines from the United States and for Australia and Britain 123 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:28,720 to combine forces a new fleet of American technology based nuclear submarines. This space 124 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:48,159 time and time that would take another brief look at some of the other stories 125 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:54,559 making us in science this week. With a science report, global emissions from 126 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,759 fossil fuels are projected to hit a record high this year, increasing by one 127 00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:03,759 point one percent. A report by Earth System Science Data Is found that there 128 00:12:03,799 --> 00:12:07,720 is no sign of the rapid and deep decreases in total emissions which needed to 129 00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:13,799 tackle climate change. While emissions are declining in some countries, the report shows 130 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,000 that these simply aren't enough to reverse the overall growth in global fossil fuel emissions 131 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:24,960 in countries such as China and India. A new study has found that biological 132 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,879 women who drink energy drinks in the lead up to becoming pregnant could be more 133 00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:33,559 likely to have high blood pressure during their pregnancy. The findings were reported in 134 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,320 the Journal of the American Medical Association based on data from two different long term 135 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:43,799 health studies. Birth studies included data on energy drink intake, and the researchers 136 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,519 compared this to a range of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including miscarriage, gestational diabetes, 137 00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:54,879 preclampsia, gestational high blood pressure, and pre term birth. The researchers 138 00:12:54,879 --> 00:12:58,200 said that of all the outcomes they looked at, only high blood pressure was 139 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:03,200 associated with energy drink concin UMP, and the association was only found among participants 140 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,519 from one of the studies used. The authors say this means their finding should 141 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:13,240 be interpreted with caution, especially because energy drink consumption is relatively low among participants. 142 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,039 However, more research should be done are the potential risks of energy drinks. 143 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,559 A report in the British Medical Journal claims that young people who use social 144 00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:28,080 media on a daily basis are more likely to engage in risky behaviors such as 145 00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:33,120 drug use, unprotected sex and fighting. The research is part of an international 146 00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:39,080 systematic review of meta analyzes into risky behavior. The studies authors analyze the results 147 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,240 of one hundred and twenty six previous studies on teens and social media, finding 148 00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:48,039 that overall, frequent or daily social media use was associated with higher odds of 149 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,320 drinking alcohol, using drugs and tobacco, sexting, inconsistent condom use, and 150 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:58,360 anti social behaviors such as bullying, fighting, and aggression. The research is 151 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,960 exposure to content showing similar risky behaviors was most strongly associated with the behavior. 152 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,639 They say that while most studies relied on self reported data on social media use 153 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,559 and risky behavior, which could have influenced the results, their studies showed more 154 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:18,000 research should be done into which aspects of social media could cause the most harm. 155 00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:22,600 It's been a big week for AI, with Google launching its new AI 156 00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:28,399 model and AMD launching their new artificial intelligence chips at its Advancing AI conference in 157 00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:33,639 San Jose, California. With details from the conference, we're joined by technology 158 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,639 editor Alex o'harov Royce from Tech Advice Start Life. AMD have secured their place 159 00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:41,879 in history alongside Nvidia as a company that can make the chips that power these 160 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,840 generative AI systems, the ones that are giving all the answers to chat, 161 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,320 GBT from open AI, from hugging trace from a range of different large language 162 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,639 models. And AMD of course, is AI is the most transformational technology in 163 00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:58,200 fifty years and the biggest driver, of course has been generative AI. So 164 00:14:58,279 --> 00:15:05,000 they now have this AMD instinct MI three hundred x chip. Now this chip 165 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,480 is almost twice as powerful as the one from Nvidia, the one that they're 166 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,240 selling for between twenty five thousand and forty thousand US dollars a pop. And 167 00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:15,840 you need several of these, you know, some systems have hundreds of these 168 00:15:15,879 --> 00:15:18,639 so power the generative AI systems that have taken over the world in the past 169 00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:24,919 year. They also have the new eighty forty series of Windows chips. So 170 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,759 this is the chip that runs Windows Windows eleven and can run links on other 171 00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:31,039 programs. And they launched on earlier this year called the seventy forty, and 172 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,759 it had the first AI neural engine inside of an X eighty six chip for 173 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,600 PCs. And now they're launching the second generation of this AI powered line, 174 00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:43,840 the eighty forty, with an even more powerful AI chip. And they've done 175 00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:48,399 this, they're launching the second generation AI chips for PCs before Intel has launched 176 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,000 its first generation, So very positive news from AMD, who continue their market 177 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,159 leadership. This week there's also the news of the AI Alliance. What's that 178 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,600 about? Well, IBM, Meta, AMD and the total of fifty companies 179 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:04,200 have launch their new AI Alliance. This is an international community of learning technology 180 00:16:04,279 --> 00:16:10,679 developers, researchers and adopters collaborating together to advance they say open, safe and 181 00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:15,519 responsible AI. But interestingly Open AI the company behind the world famous chat GBT 182 00:16:15,639 --> 00:16:17,840 that everyone else is trying to copy. They're not on the list. And 183 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,159 of course they're saying all the right things. There's all these things I want 184 00:16:19,159 --> 00:16:22,320 to do. You can read the full press release that I've reprinted from the 185 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,600 Alliance on Tech Advice that life. But there's a lot of regulation that's coming 186 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,600 down the pipeline from different governments Europe, the US, UK. They're investigating 187 00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:33,159 AI, they're going to be regulating it. And some of these companies are 188 00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:36,879 trying to get ahead of the term they well they are, they are, 189 00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:38,840 and of course they've made a big sub adnance about responsible ad But all these 190 00:16:38,879 --> 00:16:44,240 companies want to be part of setting the agenda, not following someone else's agenda, 191 00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:45,559 and when you've got Chat, GPT and Open Air on one side, 192 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,000 getting all the money, in the fame and the kudos, even though there's 193 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,279 quite a number of other companies who are just as powerful. They're banning together 194 00:16:52,559 --> 00:16:55,320 with this alliance. And look now only got to announce in the last week. 195 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,080 We'll yet to see what the true results are. But yet more AI 196 00:16:57,159 --> 00:17:00,559 news and Googles launched its new Gym as well. Yeah, they're calling it 197 00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:04,880 the most capable AI model yet, and they say that it's built from the 198 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:11,240 ground up to be multi modal, So this Gemini can generalize and seamlessly understand, 199 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,480 operate across and combine different types of information including text, images, audio, 200 00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:18,400 video, and code all at the same time. So you can give 201 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:25,000 it very sophisticated prompts and it can do this multimodal reasoning and advance coding. 202 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,359 And it's got three different sets, so it's got Ultra pro and Nano so 203 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,720 it can run on a data center right down to your pixel phone and it 204 00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:34,440 can do their sort of chat deputy responses right on your phone without having going 205 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,759 to the cloud. But it's got this flexibility. The system can scale from 206 00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:41,519 data centers right downto your mobile phone. So this is something that Google is 207 00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:45,440 doing to compete with Chat Juputy four and the upcoming Chat Jupiter five. And 208 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,640 the power of the engine you have running your AI systems determines how quick and 209 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,880 smart and good it is and how often it doesn't hallucinate, it doesn't give 210 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,160 you the wrong information. And Google has just launched their challenge to the rest 211 00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,799 of the industry. And what else is on the website this weekctionaries have got 212 00:18:00,839 --> 00:18:03,759 AI words that have entered their Words of the Year list. So for Oxford, 213 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,359 the word of the year or one of the words of the year was 214 00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:11,519 prompt, which is the question or the statement that you give to a GPT 215 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,119 to create what it is you want and the more details you give, the 216 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,119 better the result. For Cambridge the word is hallucinate, where your GPT system 217 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,079 is confidently spotting this information as though it's absolutely real, but it's absolutely wrong. 218 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,880 And then Mariam Webster actually has a sort of a redefinition of the word 219 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,599 authentic. Authentic is the word of the year. And this, you know, 220 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,200 with the rise of artificial intelligence, you've got these deep fake videos, 221 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,839 you've got the actors who are worried about competing with AI versions of themselves. 222 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,200 You've got AI writing scripts, You've got AI doing all these things, and 223 00:18:40,279 --> 00:18:42,720 there's going to be a move back to people who are able to hand craft 224 00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:48,039 something made by humans, not made by AI. And so they're highlighting the 225 00:18:48,039 --> 00:18:51,079 word authentic because it's got a different flavor now that we have all this AI, 226 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,400 fake artificially generated stuff. So that's their word of the year. There's 227 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,839 also hackers who are predicting the biggest cybersecurity worries. In twenty twenty four, 228 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,400 LG's brand Rey launch, Microsoft launching its new Incredible Seeing AI app, and 229 00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:07,839 plenty more.
