I don't believe autonomous ships can replace human navigation jobs. There must always be a human to navigate. There can become errors on those autonomous ships that can make big disasters. Also, I am going start maritime school in august 27, where I will also learn navigation. So if all human navigators will be replaced in the future, then why can I still learn to navigate? And my future job stands on nr16 of best chances to get that job in the future. So, I don't worry about robots. Still nice school btw.
I agree with you, perhaps the navigation will be handled by computers but humans will be needed as fail safe.
Notions like these on the face of it make sense, but the reality is that expert systems are better than humans at this sort of task, eg. a large proportion of airline disasters occur because pilots override what the flight system is trying to do, the pilot unaware that their idea of the current state of the plane and its surroundings is often very wrong. If anything, it's humans and our imperfect perceptual abilities that are all too frequently in error. "I don't believe autonomous ships can replace human navigation jobs. ", is not an argument, it's a sentiment based on emotion (however understandable that may be), not facts and evidence. Indeed, commercial airlines don't really need pilots anymore, they're present in part because customers wouldn't fly without them, whatever the facts might prove. It's akin to passenger perceptions of trust, a pilot with an educated-sounding voice produces greater feelings of confidence than that of a strong regional accent.
The key to reliability with expert systems is correctness (formal methods), an information concept normally used to prevent bugs in the first place, but it's expensive to implement. Still, they're pretty good at it these days, hence why any modern fighter plane can exist at all, those things are perpetually balanced on a knife edge of stability, the pilot isn't really the one keeping the plane aloft - turn the flight computer off and the plane would fall out of the sky.
In order for a human to be a *reliable* failsafe, one must understand what kind of situations might require that kind of intervention. These normally involve great stress, a confusion of data and inputs, lack of situational awareness, etc., ie. precisely when humans are at their weakest. It's a bit like saying the backup for a sophisticated system should be a really basic one that's kinda iffy. :D
Note that I fully understand the sentiments involved here, the notion that a machine could replace a human operator is unnerving, but in large part in the modern world they already have. Consider the vast numbers of ICs inside the computers that run the systems on a ship, the circuit track layouts on those ICs were designed by a computer, it's too complicated for a human to do (though hand tuning can improve things in a desired aspect, such as performance over efficiency). Likewise, the flow analysis of hull shapes, machine learning systems for better engine design, all sorts of things, the list goes on and on. Irony is, navigation is probably one of the most effective uses of expert systems, partly because of the vast amount of existing data available upon which to design and train them (indeed, air traffic conrol systems are awash with automated navigational systems, as are flight computers on aircraft, and they have to cope with a 3D volume, vs. a 2D surface for sea navigation). When I first studied AI in the 90s I was looking into medical expert systems, but then became interested in visual simulation and training, and petroleum engineering applications inparticular (pipework layout and database amalgamation), ie. trying to cope with complexity like this:
www.sgidepot.co.uk/misc/oilrig.jpg
However, when all is said and done, you are right in one regard, there will always be potential scenarios that cannot be factored in to an expert system (such as piracy and terrorist threats). and from the nature of the work as it is, with so much complex maintenance required to keep a ship running (JeffHK, your vids are fanatastic btw, loved watching them all), there's always the possibility of mechanical failure or somesuch, hence why such systems need multiple backups, which adds to the cost, and even then there's the unexpected.
So yes, there will always be human operators around, but it isn't because a person can do the core task better (in this case, navigation), or make better decisions when things go wrong (about half the time they don't, at least in aviation). But then, humans being what we are, confidence and trust are important, a crew won't work so well if there's a lack of trust in the captain, which will certainly be less the case if the cap isn't seen to be in charge. On aircraft, sometimes a machine will make a recommendation that the pilot then approves, a sort of meeting of minds as it were, a halfway house of acceptable automation. In the medical field though, a lot of decisions really are fully automated, patients just don't know about it (hardly surprising really, it's impossible for any medical professional to keep up with all the latest research and clinical data, whereas an expert system can be constantly updated). You'd be amazed how broadly AI of this kind is used, eg. patent searching is one I read about a while ago.
It's a fascinating field, but you guys shouldn't worry, from everything I've seen in JeffHK's videos, I can't see how the vast majority of tasks on a ship could ever be automated, they're too complicated and hands-on. No matter how much I might know about the technical potential of modern systems, I'm still human, I still want you guys onboard, even if the ship's being guided by the world's best satnav. 8)
Btw Jeff, where can I find out more information about those large screen simulator systems? In the early 2000s I was sysadmin of an SGI RealityCentre, mainly used for urban planning, industrial design and medical applications.
Ian.
I don't agree with your first paragraph. The assertion that the majority of airline accidents are due to 'human error' isn't true, or at least, is highly misleading. Pilots have to step in over automated systems countless times every single time they go flying, and yet, nobody hears about it. When anything at all in an aircraft goes wrong, the automated systems switch off and hand over control to the pilot. When's the last time autopilot has landed a plane when one of the engines caught alight?
+cobiegaming Indeed. Vehicles may have autopilots, but there must always be someone on the vehicle who can take control if the autopilot does not work anymore. What if a unmanned ship, far away from the living world, loses its autopilot? Than who can save the ship? Answer: Humans, but than the ship must be manned.
It can even be that autopilots can be hacked. So we can not trust a autopilot more than a human. A ship should always be manned.
@@computerinsurgent1204 Well it has to connected to internet to be hacked, so our these ships connected to the internet?
One of the most interesting channels on RUclips, thank you
Do you know any other channels like this (not necessarily about ships)
Jeffhk is backk!! 🤙👌
As one of the students from the Rotterdam Mainport University, by the STC Group and University of Rotterdam, I am really impressed by the facilities you showed here. I myself am nearly graduated Naval Architect :). Also have been closely related to Marime officers, as salvage and rescue is my field of expertize.
I do however proffesionally dissagree with you on autonomous vessels. We humans will never get replaced on vessels, as there is for instance wear and tear and maintenance to be done. Also so far the autonomous systems have never been without failure.
I do see us beeing assisted by autonomous systems, never replaced though ;)
I actually agree with you, the part about autonomous ships is just my awkward humor XD
JeffHK I found it hilarious! We will always need humans to maintain the robots just like the car manufacturing industry. Unless we get full fledged AI in which case we gotta really be banking on that musk dude to get us the hell of this planet xD
When are they going to build catamaran ships that ride on water rails? The water rails are two narrow channels with a solid space between them running parallel. Each of the two catamaran hulls sits in one of the channels and both have a propeller on the end. The trick is to guide them without hitting the solid space separating the two channels. They could incorporate maglev technology into the channels to keep the hulls from rubbing the sides and then you can have ship trains or at least have sideways wheels on the hull that will simply bump and roll off the channel sides. Kind of like how a train bridges over the two rails on which the wheels ride. People should buy up my Dance of Death a James Grider novel on Amazon so I can afford a used car. What's funny if I went to that school and suggested such idea, the administrators' faces would light up, "Wow! You're so clever. We love your idea. You will get very far in our school. Please, sign these FAFSA papers." Then real engineers would say, "This guy is a retard. We don't need retarded ideas like that."
The facilties at our school suck compared to them just sitting in class learning things instead of spending more time on the sim
Kieran Lepley why don't we just build a space elevator? Oh wait... things aren't that easy
What I consistently find amazing is that you have this whole other demanding job and yet you are one of the top YT editors out there. Many times better than most people who make YT their full-time job. Job security is being a dynamic human being, you'll always have a job.
Evan J to be fair he has like 2 months to edit 1 video. He has nothing to do while at sea
+Lion Stylo That's not exactly true. Sure, a person has a lot of confined down-time at sea that would otherwise be taken up with the usual "not at work" life activities, but if you've watched enough of Jeff's videos, you'd see he's not exactly sitting around doing nothing for 60 days either. This is after all his job, one for which (in this video) he's also going back to school to move up the ladder. Thats a considerable amount of dedication.
Perhaps most importantly, to become good at anything, you need to work hard at it. He's doing that in editing. He's one of the best YT editors I've seen. To say that anyone who has enough free time should be given less credit for actually doing something exceptional with it is missing the point. Not everyone on that ship is necessarily taking the same advantage of their time.
Mate the editing of the video is awesome..just amazing..keep up the good work..
Send your video to AMC, just as a gift for your mother school. I think they would appreciate this awesome video you made!
Just keeps getting better, Thank you , enjoyable and some really neat edits too.
Interesting! I've enjoyed your sea transit videos a lot, and look forward to more!
Wow amazing editing! Please keep on uploading Jeff!
Hope to see more of your videos. Congratulation for finishing your Chief Mate studies.

Interesting, educational, and entertaining. Love your videos!
Very entertaining. Kudos! Hope you're just as adept in your work life as you are here.
Wow! Amazing school!
Dude your editing skills are so good. I had literally no interest in maritime life before your videos, but you smooth edits hooked me.
Love to see your still uploading love it keep it up
Nice to see you back Jeff
The wait it's over and the video is pretty damn good :)) Congrats JeffHK and have a nice vacation.
nice to have you back jeff
I loved this video. Keep up the good work!
Very Interesting Jeff. Thanks
What a fantastic an awesome video, as usual...
Making RUclips useful.
Thks for sharing Jeff.
More to come, I hope!!!!
rahepla Hi greetings from the US Marine base 5 unit camp here in Aleppo Syria
Yet again another great video jeff!
Awesome video. Thank you!
That simulation part was funny asf bro great video this makes me want to have a job like this. I have always been on the sea and love maritime stuff
Your vlogs are truly helpful to upcoming seafarers keep it up
Awesome video !!! Thanks :D
My favourite channel .one of the Finest editing
I just a few months ago told you I applied to "Sea Captain" (lol) degree.
And I passed the test and already got the apartment in a new city and will start my deck studies in a month!!!!!!!! So excited. It's for 4,5 years. Hope I get out of Finland with it after!!!
Ur way of video making is awesome
DUDE !!! YOU GOT THE TALENT FOR MAKING VIDEOS MAN !!
You got that right 👌
5 times I’ve watched this now and it’s still as good everytime
Your vlogs never disappoints
Keep going. Important job to turn the world!!!
I've been watching you for a while and had no idea you went to the same college I have been looking at. I think this video has finally cemented my decision and I can't wait to study at AMC.
loved your simulation in a simulation skit...Top editing!!!
All vlogs are really helpful! Learning a lot from you bro! I hope I have a same school as yours.
Love your channel!
Oh my... I'm amazed!
Hi Jeff, thanks for the amazing and really informative videos. I really wanna see some video about safety and emergency drills on board. Love from India
Well Done! Jeff.
That bridge simulator is heaven😊
Great Vid, Good to see your in my home country, had no idea the Uni of Tas has such a great facility.
Really loved this video. Notification squad.
Great stuff Jeff. Now I know why some of your documents are Australian issued. Been to Launceston many times, never knew that AMC was there! Best of luck with your course commencing on Aug. 27. Tassie will be cold.
This is awesome!
I've been thinking of studying in a maritime school, but this video has just convinced me (I also hace seen your other videos, and investigated)
So much to learn and grow up on a daily basis
2 Months!!!!
Welcome back!
Finally a video! Been waiting!
You will never get bored on that school, theres a lot of adventures rather than studying.😍😉
as soon as i get channel notification i play the video. it only happens with your channel Jeff. keep up the good work. :D
Thanks for the video
@jeffHK I love your vídeo edition!
Just Awesome video
JeffHK you have so good content on your channel. If only you could make videos more often...
okay :(
JeffHK Please, don't get me wrong. I absolutely love your maritime content, but waiting 5+ months for another video is not particularly inspiring.
ShadowGuidR I'm not saying that he should make videos 24/7. Maybe once a month?
@@supremeflagship8965 you do realize he's actually traveling by boat to these places right that takes time and he doesn't have internet while at sea.
wow, amazing footage.... U made my day again :D
Here in Germany everyone tells you to stay away from maritime, except the ones that have worked offshore already, but your vids always make me think it's the best industry to join, at least for me :D let me know if you become captain so I know on which ship I have to sign in ;-)
Your videos are alwayw incredible and interesting even for people like me who do not want to do this later. Great job.
Good job Jeff! Impressive!
Thanks Saif!
Studying in AMC soon?
JeffHK yep next semester 2019, still doing seatime 😋
Yayyy u r back!
The legend is back!
Great informative video. Well done.
This looks so fun!!
video editing is soooooooooo awesome 😀💖
Greetings from Vietnam Maritime University, great works Jeff, please keep making vlogs about seafarer cause I love those :D
Brthr its has been 1 day since i have subscribed u and could stop myself from watch all ur videos continousely they are the best
Hey Jeff, I love all the videos made by you and as I'm a nautical student, it helps me a lot. Sir, if you make a video about 'how the ship maintain it's stability while loading/discharging of cargoes (especially container ships), it would be great help for all the nautical guys!! Thanks and cheers... waiting for the new video uploads!
You are amazing Jeff ✌🏻✌🏻😎
Welcome back, Jeff. Greetings from TLV.
WHATT😭😭😭 Aw I'm so envious, this looks so cool! Compared to where I'm studying right now...
Thanks for the upload!
Witt Keller Hi greetings from the US Marine base 5 unit camp here in Aleppo Syria
JeffHk waiting for more and more videos ✌
A book is good for general knowledge but experience is the very best teacher! Looks like a pretty good learning platform, (the Maritime College) Thanks for the great video!
Great content ! Very well documented. Would gladly see more from you.
Liliana Caninenberg Hi greetings from the US Marine base 5 unit camp here in Aleppo Syria
So cool! Greetings from Melbourne
That sim within a sim sequence blew my mind!
So glad to have you back! I check every day for new videos. Cheers from Canada!
PS Oh and I Tweeted your video.
❤️❤️❤️❤️thanks for the support!!!
Good stuff Jeff.....again. Cheers :)
Great video!!!
