- Professor Mike Wooldridge asks: what is artificial intelligence? He compares how AI works and learns with how the human brain functions. Exploring the roots of AI, Mike reveals how Alan Turing devised the Imitation Game - a test of whether a machine answering a series of questions could pass as a human. The audience in the lecture theatre play a real-life version of the game to find out if AI can pass this test today. In this lecture, Mike examines real-life neurons in action and explains how artificial neural networks are inspired by neural structures in the brain. To demonstrate how AI learns, we watch drones as they are trained to recognise and fly through structures in the lecture theatre autonomously. AI exploded into the public consciousness in 2022 with the release of ChatGPT and boasts around 100 million monthly users. Mike unravels the mystery of how large language models like ChatGPT work, and he finds out if one day this technology - along with a whole suite of different AI tools - will allow us to understand the animals we share this planet with. The Christmas Lectures are the most prestigious event in the Royal Institution calendar, dating from 1825, when Michael Faraday founded the series. They are the world’s longest running science television series and always promise to inspire and amaze each year through explosive demonstrations and interactive experiments with the live theatre audience.

"I was in a terrible accident and as a result lost my arm and leg" Him: "WOW - that's incredible 😃"
i was hoping someone mentioning it
right? I don't know what is more incredible now, the anchors BBC pop around who are either dumb, insensitive or both, or BBC itself showing around how much of dunce it is haha, so incredible!
I was gonna say that, he clearly was not listening to what she was saying but was focused on the bionic arm xD
Exactly, lol. I probably would've said "Holy Hell! How are you still alive? That is insane"
@@rasoulcarrerasomeone actually commented the same joke a few hours before this one 😂
“I was in a terrible accident”
“Incredible, now show us your party trick”
Yeah. So half your body was ripped off ("That must have smarted!"), but on the upside you can crush empty soft drink cans.
Received rocket punched😂
Yes, gross. Smiling even, didn't even skip a beat. Turned me off massively to the whole thing.
Interviewer needs some skills
At being human😊
yeah thought the same thing.
Her “I basically got ran over by a train…” him “ that’s incredible!”
Glad I'm not the only one who caught that 😂🤣 lmao
Same lol
Yeah that was a bit weird.
Not even listening to her
*No accident is incredible!* Very disappointing choice of words !!!
"That's incredible."
"I can watch that all night." 💀
That 2nd statement was a grand faux pas 🤣 sounds like a glimpse into his thoughts at the time.
Party trick
I lost my arm
Wow that's incredible.
What a radiant woman. I doubt this is at all important to her, but she looks cool as heck wearing her prosthetics.
Was thinking the same, and also imagining how different public perception would be had she been without the bionic arm and leg, and instead in a wheelchair with someone pushing her.
@@kasimirdenhertog3516 Have you ever thought about the fact she wouldn't be anywhere as happy as she is now if she was stuck to a wheel chair?
Why wouldn't it be important to her? People need to be valued.
@@michaelzomsuv3631 I was contemplating public perception, not her personal perception. I think from the video it's quite obvious she's very happy not to be in a wheelchair.
@@kasimirdenhertog3516 They wouldn't even give her a second thought. The wealthy get bionic mind reading apendages, the poor get sticks and wheels.
She is such a positive person! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I would be too if I could afford a bionic arm whenever I lost one.
That’s because they attached her to the anode.
Yes, she is but I wish that the answer to every question wasn't prefaced with, So... It's the standard (idiotic) speech pattern of today. Sentences are better off without So...
Gratitude is very powerful and this would give her a lot of hope.
@@christopherwheeler688so I’m not sure what you mean.
What a well-spoken woman. No uhms, no ahs. Not too quick. Not too slow.
She explained everything efficiently and in such a way that it is easy to understand. Well done to her 👏
Can't imagine the trauma this poor woman has been through. Congratulations to the people working on this technology: the arm, the sensors and the software
- amazing, brilliant work! Keep going.
"I was in a horrific accident."
"Lovely stuff."
When she is finally ready to drive a car again they will be like "sorry, all the cars drive themselves now"
I'm hoping and fairly certain she'll get to ride a bike again though.
Progressed AI will have improved her life (and ours) regardless in that case.
sorry, self driving bikes now exist
Lol, Thats funny sht bro.
"I was involved in a devastating train wreck..."
"beautiful stuff, got any tricks??"
"I lost my arm and my leg"
"Wow, that's incredible"
SMH
😂 ☠️
It was incredible. It's not hard to look up the meaning of the word, but you seem to not know it.
"Incredible" means "impossible to believe" or "difficult to believe; extraordinary."
It doesn't automatically imply something is good.
@@finian2 it’s more the nonchalant tone 😭
@@G.Family. Why are you crying?
Bravo! I'm a Vietnam vet and so many injuries that be assisted today. Am certainly impressed with this attractive and resilient young lady!
Dam I wanted that to end with a hand shake that twists his arm 😂😂
And breaks it off… then she could say “wow incredible”.
The arm is cool the woman’s perspective on life is amazing
Like a lot of people here I too remarked her great personality. She’s indeed special in her kind, positive demeanor & the fact that she breezed through the recounting of her incident without trying to emotionally stir her audience & make it about her, *which is an exceptionally rare thing.*
But it’s very important for our wellbeing to recognize that most of her strength is the strength of the society behind her. Same for everyone else. Imagine her going through that ordeal a century ago. IF she were to survive she wouldn’t have benefited from a 911 emergency call service, helicopter ambulance, modern surgery, anesthesia, antibiotics, painkillers, kinesiotherapy, psychotherapy, modern prosthetics, a swarm of people around her caring for her recovery & wellbeing, nor the modern culture of acceptance, compassion & appreciation towards maimed & disabled individuals. She would’ve laid in a bed without much social interaction, perhaps even removed from people’s eyes, spending the rest of her life in gloom & sorrow.
There’s a general principle saying that the strength of any node in a network is equal to the strength of the network as a whole & number of connections that node makes with that network. This is most true when it comes to human beings, the most social creature. If you want to tend to the wellbeing of the individuals *you must tend to the wellbeing of society.* Somewhere in the future, in some harmonious & high-tech part of the world, some individual will be hit by a drone and ripped to pieces, and nonetheless in a year’s time they’ll be more athletic than current heptathlon champions. And it would be much more clear then that it’s *not* about "oh my gosh, that individual is so physically & psychologically strong😱". It’s about the network, it’s about society. It always was.
The woman is cool, the arm is amazing
0:07 "Wow that's incredible" 💀
☠️
I am so happy technology helps these people live better lives. And I hope that in the future it will be more and more accessible
I could not agree more. e/acc in action!
0:14 Hey old man, she lost her leg and arm then how is this incredible?
Wow, what a lovely and resilient woman, this work is phenomenal,glad they chose such an inspirational person to trial the prototype❤💎🎖👍
I saw another video about bionic arms recently. Not sure if it was this same model, but the one I saw talked about sensors in the hand that gave the user pressure feedback so that they could regulate their strength appropriately. It was pretty cool.
She could also drive a car without her right arm if she bought an automatic. I have an automatic transmission, and I almost never use my right arm while driving.
@@TheWinstn60 you could drive a car with a thoughts alone already but delay time is the problem same as with hands.
Yeah I don't know why she said she couldn't drive a car. If it's a manual sell it and buy an automatic. I wouldn't give up driving because I was waiting on a bionic arm upgrade.
She's probably in the UK, right arm is your steering arm, so even with an automatic it would be awkward
This is the UK, she's on the other side of the car. I use my right arm for steering and the left arm for the shift.
@@danmartinico944it should not be awkward to steer with any because everyone should use both hands most of the time. Shifting sure it's weird but should be easy to get used to it
Oh you lost your limbs have you?! That's incredible!...
Seems you dont know the meaning of that word..
Now that's a prosthetic that works! I'm so excited for the improvements on response and movement!
Because you need it or you'll cut yourself an arm to have a prosthetic one? lol
@@JP-xd6fm or because people getting help in general is good?
@@anarchostatist191 Yes, sure!, but it sounds like I don't know, he is looking forward to have that...
I rather preventing the kind of accidents that cut you in pieces tbh
@@JP-xd6fm It's very hard to 100% prevent these accidents, and what if someone loses their limb due to some disease like cancer?
It's really good that prosthetics are improving, you'd want yourself some nicely functioning artificial arm/ hand too if you were the unfortunate one
"i could watch that hand all night" crazyyyy
In the future she'll be able to punch through a Cybertruck door.
Could probably already punch through the window
What a crazy thing to say hehe. Shameless and admittedly tasteless plug for my crazy video
( she could probably do that now ) 😂
That's incredible 😂
Guy questioning is literally such a show man, dude gives zero f’s
Yes. That’s what I’ve dreamed of often. I’ve was afflicted by polio on my left arm since I was 18 months old. I’m now 77 yrs old and survived all this yrs BUT I would’ve fallen bc love to put one of these gadgets to test how my thought process would change when I have to think about the movement in my left arm.
Thank you for sharing
Wow! Good for her. Such a courageous woman!!!❤🎉😘🫂
That's amazing. I've got a friend who lost his right arm's function in a motorcycle accident. He still drives with a twisting knob on the steering wheel for single arm steering and puts the automatic gearbox in gear with his left hand to get moving. There are cars with button hubs for gear selection to make it easier but his ford fiesta does just fine
I lost both my parents to a house fire- "wow thats incredible
not to downplay the struggle that tends to come with it, but people with bionic limbs always look really cool
Gotta appreciate the company's work on function n design. It looks cool!
Him looking at her wrist rotating “I could see that all night” 😂
I think there's a great story here. It's much more than having limbs replaced with machine-learning prosthetics. It's about human ability and desire to help each other. Working hard to find solutions. Learning what ai is and what it is not. Deciding whether we want it in our lives.
I found this description of her shocking accident. WARNING if you are squeamish.
After falling asleep on the tube after work and missing her stop at Camden Town, she woke up at the end of the Northern line at High Barnet.
Disorientated, she went to board a return train but slipped and fell under the carriage, breaking her nose, teeth and damaging her face in the fall. Unable to get up, she could not escape the train as it pulled away over her, causing horrific injuries.
She cried out for help for more than ten minutes but no one could hear her, until a second train rolled into the station crushing her again. Somehow surviving, she was airlifted to hospital where her leg and arm was amputated.
May god bless her
and the crowd were like oooooh we want to lose our limbs in a train accident if we can get a hand that can twist around like that!
This is incredible ❤
"i was run over in a horrific train accident and lost an arm and a leg:
"Wow that's incredible, now hurry up and show us your party trick with this coke can"
I lost my leg and arm. WOW that's incredible.
Incredible means hard to believe, or extraordinary (which means out of the ordinary). Losing both a leg and an arm is very extraordinary and difficult to believe, hence the word incredible was accurate.
they have the tech and its its approved. this arm should be attached to her bone not held on by strap on suction cups. This will also eliminate the time lag.
It really moves naturally!!!!! Wow!!! Incredible!!
What about the day to day wearing of it, prosthetic limbs are very uncomfortable and can be painful to wear.
The sock that goes against the skin can get very smelly and sweaty, and there's friction against scar tissue, which is the real issue and can even result in needing further amputation due to damage by the prosthesis (re-stumping).
The real game changing advance in prosthetic limbs is when/if they can be permanently attached to the body so that all the stump issues become moot.
But that requires anchoring them to a metal(?) rod that's attached to the remaining bone and breaks through the skin without complications.
Then people can have a prosthetic that's part of their body.
It’s not unreasonable to think science will figure out how to regrow limbs with stem cells, gene editing, etc. before we can perfect bionic limbs. Of course these bionic limbs are helping a lot of people right now even if they’re not perfect.
As a hook wearer, I wear a clean sock daily🤫. Stump breakdown has happened, but I compare that to having hurt my "hand"🥱 It has been 45 years and I have yet needed "more" amputations.🙄hook right arm.
no fingers left hand. Left handed golfer, swinging right handed, hole in one.⛳
Prostetic arms with a titanium rod fused with the bone of the stump already exist. They basically insert a screw into the bone, that over time grows over it, then use that as a socket for a detachable robotic arm.
“Wow thats incredible” translates to “i am obligated to ask but i need to get to this insanely expensive product that people are desperate for now” lmao
This is really cool tech, it would be even cooler if the BBC used better, more specific terminology, such as "Machine Learning" and went more into depth, giving an explanation of how this actually works, instead of what it does
This is from the Royal Insttitution Lectures aimed at kids.
If you want to learn in detail then there is an entire playlist made by RUclips itself, known as The age of A.I.
Shes the lady who they didnt see fall on the track, and was just left there for hours, hit by two trains as a result. The train company denied responsibility or something. Or didnt see that they were at fault, whatever.
Wow amazing merry Xmas
Wow her wrist twists all round 😮
He obviously wasn't listening to her and was just amazed by the bionic arm. 😅
Actually is a compliment to the bionics designers because it looked so natural that it was not really registering in his brain that her original arm and leg were gone.
I mean she's just a random person using advanced technology that wasn't made by herself.
So I can see why you would be more interested in the technology than the consumer. It's like a Tesla owner. Most are random people but their cars get all the attention.
It's very sad but kinda human/animal nature.
Amazing individual and intelligent ❤
Seems like adding electrodes to the good arm and doing synchronized movements (Left arm Mirrors right arm) and capturing and training off that data would improve the behavior of the Bionic arm as well as suggest other electrode placements to pick up better queues for the use by the algorithms. It is a stretch, but tying this AI in with Tesla’s Optimus robot AI and hardware could lead to some un expected advancements for both.
You are being far too excited already. This isn't complex AI. It just reads signals and transforms them in movement. Those signals are not the same as on a working arm and she has been training with this arm to get it to work the way it does.
This AI is basically not much more than training an AI to recognize a traffic light
Those are some nice upgrades she got
Machine Learning is a specific application of AI that teaches machines to perform tasks by analyzing data and identifying patterns. Machine learning is how a computer system develops its intelligence. (AI) is a vast field.
"I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella"
That lady is hero. If i lost my arm and leg, I would be locked at home, in depression. She is very brave.
Absolutely incredible!
An excellent communicator .
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.
"What do you think this arm is going to do in the future ?" -
"Maybe shoot lazers would be great, but Ill settle for a can oppener add-on"

@@333kireinahime There is no truth in flesh, only betrayal. There is no strength in flesh, only weakness. There is no constancy in flesh, only decay. There is no certainty in flesh but death.
“I was in a horrible accident…”
“Yeah yeah ok just tell us about your really cool arm”
She is so elegant!
The interviewer is actually great.
One day you'll be able to play piano or guitar with a bionic arm.
If my electronic drum set is anything to go by, the latency between thought and arm/hand movement would need to decrease by a factor of about 1,000 (from 10 s to 10 ms) for it to be usable for that purpose.
Wow, everybody hating on this guy when we should be fascinated by this amazing technology.
Every time the guy replied to her he sounded sarcastic

😂
how many limbs do you replace before she is a robot with a human implant?
@@dr_jaymz All eight.
bro I swear this tech hasn't evolved at all since 2013, I remember seeing a model a little better than this one years ago.
Another incredible European innovation. My people are so creative and intelligent. Keep up the good work! 🇬🇧
I love medical science, it helps so many people lead something of a normal life again.
I have the pleasure of knowing Mike Wooldridge the presenter in person and I think it just needs to be addressed that he isn’t just some random guy they got, he’s one of the top AI researchers on the planet and this was only a VERY small segment of ONE of the recent Christmas lectures. This bit was nothing more than the producers showing off a cool bit of tech to impress the CHILD AUDIENCE! What the hell else was the man supposed to say! I would highly recommend watching the rest of the lectures because they are genuinely really interesting and a little less awkward than this
Thanks for this, motivated me to dig deeper! What a great resource!
Maybe an "oh, that sounds rough" after she described the train accident.
That's a very good insight to give us, thank you, might be a good idea to pin this comment
@@PatGunn yeah - thats the thing that scares me about AI researchers. If the humans that build them have poor bed-manners we are screwed. Basically its typical one-track mind - he wants to talk about the arm and doesn't consider the person; I know because I'd be exactly the same, but the majority wouldn't.
"WOW that's incredible"
You know his lips were on auto pilot while his brain was reading whatever they were showing him
*No accident is incredible!* Very disappointing choice of words !!!
Another person: All of my family died in a crash!
Host: OMG, brilliant!
"Yeah, that should get a LOT of clicks - oops did I just say that?"
People are so offended about the guy's positive attitude, as though his excitement towards the technology is the same as him celebrating her accident. XD
1:45 "I could watch that all night" 😅
Cyberpunk is becoming real ^^ AI, amazing bionics, neural link implants, self driving cars etc. What a time to be alive

@@siloporcen Couldn't have said it better. Everytime we make progress, people just have got to piss their pants
@@2CSST2 inventions that are very disruptive are the best ones. that's kinda the whole point of pioneering. i would argue that inventors who have no motive to actually disrupt their surroundings, and make others wet their pants just amount to moot at the end of the day. actual 1st rate inventors will seek to challenge with their creations, while all of the sad 3rd rate ones seek to play it stagnant and safe.
Missed opportunity to shake hands at the end 🤝
Never put your trust in AI .. always put your trust in Jesus
Beautiful story, thanks for sharing
Impressive, how positive she is. Remarkable.
“Remarkable Shhtory”
She's great, such a good talker and good spokeswoman for this technology.
No comment about the arm? ... fantastic journalism...
" My whole family was murdered in front of me", " Wow thats amazing" 😂

It's incredible how we not even consciously think about the hand moment and it still happens.

Yeah.. she just made me feel like a real goofball by comparison :-/ what a stunning recovery from a devastating accident in only a year.
