WEBVTT 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.
