Terah Lyons: AI and diversity – the cultural and societal context behind artificial intelligence

Terah Lyons is the Founding Executive Director of the Partnership on AI, which was established to study and formulate best practices on AI technologies and advance the public’s understanding of AI. Prior to this, she served as Policy Advisor to the U.S. Chief Technology Officer at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) during the Obama administration. In this video, Terah shares how after the California State Senate proposed using a machine learning-based system for pre-trial detention decisions, the Partnership investigated the plan and published a report on the minimum requirements such a system would need to meet to be fit for use. The requirements held not just for the system itself, but also for the people using it: for example, judges would need to demonstrate an understanding of the algorithm’s outputs.

How the real-life Iron Man smashed his own speed record | On Location

Since 2016, inventor and entrepreneur Richard Browning has dedicated himself to one ambitious mission: creating the perfect jet suit. The 'real-life Iron Man' founded Gravity Industries in 2017 to develop, test and produce his suit. In his first record attempt he hit a top speed of 32.02 miles per hour and in November 2019 he set out to smash that record with a more advanced version of his unique suit. Before his attempt, we spoke to Richard about his journey to creating his suit and the changes he's made to help him in his record attempt. He also spoke of his plans for the future, which include selling suits to enthusiasts (it takes just a day to learn how to use them) and even the possibility of a racing series.

What If... Time zones didn't exist? | What If

Daylight saving time means we change the clocks twice a year, and the world has over 30 different time zones. Some countries span multiple different time zones, while the likes of China and India choose to have just one time zone despite the huge differences in real time from east to west. Time influences almost every aspect of our lives – yet we barely ever stop to think about what time means exactly. Studies show the Daylight Savings Time leads to spikes in heart attacks and traffic accidents, while reduced sleep due changing times is linked to increased levels of obesity. So, why do we even bother? That's the argument of some scientists, who believe the whole world should switch to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is already used in aviation and in space. In this video we ask, what if we abolished time zones (and clock changes) forever?

What If... We gave everyone free money with UBI? | What If

What is Universal Basic Income (UBI) and how could it help us deal with the coronavirus outbreak? What if... we gave people free money? The idea of a basic income is that everybody would receive a modest amount paid each week or each month without conditions, paid equally to every man and every woman with a smaller amount to pay for every child. Advocates for Universal Basic such as Guy Standing, co-founder of the Basic Income Earth Network, argue that it would be the ideal response to the crisis, but that it would also bring huge long term benefits, which he explains in this video.
