0 00:00:00,010 --> 00:00:05,777 SUB BY : DENI AUROR@ https://aurorarental.blogspot.com/ 1 00:00:06,406 --> 00:00:12,045 Steve Austin, astronaut, a man barely alive. 2 00:00:12,078 --> 00:00:15,047 We can rebuild him. We have the technology. 3 00:00:15,081 --> 00:00:18,084 We can make him better than he was. 4 00:00:18,117 --> 00:00:19,552 Better... 5 00:00:19,586 --> 00:00:21,420 stronger... 6 00:00:21,453 --> 00:00:22,821 faster. 7 00:00:22,855 --> 00:00:24,356 Man, when I was a kid, 8 00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:27,060 the Six Million Dollar Man was all the rage. 9 00:00:27,093 --> 00:00:30,763 It's a show about a guy who gets rebuilt with robotic machine parts. 10 00:00:30,797 --> 00:00:32,131 God, I loved it. 11 00:00:32,165 --> 00:00:35,001 And then 35 years later, I got to play a similar role, 12 00:00:35,034 --> 00:00:39,372 a character who enhances himself via technology and engineering. 13 00:00:39,406 --> 00:00:42,474 Now, the term "bionics" goes back to the 1950s, 14 00:00:42,508 --> 00:00:46,312 but the idea of enhancement actually dates back much further, 15 00:00:46,345 --> 00:00:49,682 to Greek mythology, Aztec gods, and even ancient Hinduism. 16 00:00:49,716 --> 00:00:53,119 So these next stories are about augmenting our human abilities, 17 00:00:53,152 --> 00:00:57,457 everything from a bionic limb that behaves naturally and understands intent, 18 00:00:57,490 --> 00:00:59,225 to data that improves performance, 19 00:00:59,258 --> 00:01:00,627 and vision enhancement 20 00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:03,329 that saves people in actual life-threatening situations. 21 00:01:04,130 --> 00:01:06,966 It seems with A.I... 22 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,001 anything's possible. 23 00:01:09,035 --> 00:01:10,469 So it raises the question, 24 00:01:10,503 --> 00:01:12,071 do we even want to be superhuman, 25 00:01:12,104 --> 00:01:15,208 or is imperfection what makes life interesting in the first place? 26 00:01:15,241 --> 00:01:18,177 Whatevs. I gotta get back to the gym. 27 00:01:18,210 --> 00:01:20,747 Normally I'd jog, but I got a wonky knee. 28 00:01:20,780 --> 00:01:23,216 I should probably switch it out. 29 00:01:23,249 --> 00:01:25,718 We can rebuild me. 30 00:01:25,751 --> 00:01:27,053 Better. 31 00:01:27,086 --> 00:01:28,954 Faster. 32 00:01:28,987 --> 00:01:31,057 Stronger. 33 00:01:31,090 --> 00:01:32,925 Seven miles an hour... 34 00:01:32,958 --> 00:01:34,327 full out! 35 00:01:37,330 --> 00:01:41,967 Designers within the field of bionics, 36 00:01:42,001 --> 00:01:45,137 they don't view the human body itself 37 00:01:45,171 --> 00:01:46,840 as designable media. 38 00:01:48,607 --> 00:01:52,177 We now have sophistication in Artificial Intelligence, 39 00:01:52,211 --> 00:01:55,047 in motor technology, 40 00:01:55,081 --> 00:01:57,283 in material science, 41 00:01:57,316 --> 00:01:59,885 in how to talk to the nervous system, 42 00:01:59,918 --> 00:02:01,620 setting the foundation... 43 00:02:03,289 --> 00:02:05,892 ...for the end of human disability. 44 00:02:09,061 --> 00:02:11,364 - Do you wanna do an omelette? - Sure. 45 00:02:11,397 --> 00:02:13,366 You probably don't want too much onion, 46 00:02:13,399 --> 00:02:15,368 because you'll have bad breath all day. 47 00:02:15,401 --> 00:02:17,437 Oh, thanks, yeah. 48 00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:19,338 Anyway, what were we talking about? 49 00:02:19,371 --> 00:02:20,640 26 years, 29 years-- 50 00:02:20,673 --> 00:02:24,077 Twenty six years, almost 29 years together, yup. 51 00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:28,481 Our first date was, uh, uh... 2000, wasn't it? 52 00:02:28,514 --> 00:02:31,384 - 1990. - 1990, oh my God. 53 00:02:31,417 --> 00:02:34,320 I could tell when I first met Jim 54 00:02:34,353 --> 00:02:35,788 that he's highly intelligent, 55 00:02:35,821 --> 00:02:39,024 and he said, "Would you like to go rock climbing sometime?" 56 00:02:39,058 --> 00:02:41,494 and I said, "Sure!" 57 00:02:41,527 --> 00:02:45,297 I started rock climbing in my very early teens, 58 00:02:45,330 --> 00:02:49,068 and I consider climbing to be... 59 00:02:49,101 --> 00:02:50,803 it's more than a passion for me. 60 00:02:50,836 --> 00:02:51,905 It's my lifestyle. 61 00:02:54,106 --> 00:02:56,075 In 2014, 62 00:02:56,109 --> 00:03:00,013 my family and I traveled to the Cayman Islands. 63 00:03:00,046 --> 00:03:01,881 We went rock climbing. 64 00:03:01,914 --> 00:03:05,217 I set up the ropes for the day, 65 00:03:05,250 --> 00:03:09,455 and we'd done a few climbs with no problems. 66 00:03:10,489 --> 00:03:12,759 I started up the final section, 67 00:03:12,792 --> 00:03:16,262 and... shifted my feet and slipped off... 68 00:03:19,198 --> 00:03:21,534 ...50 feet to the ground. 69 00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:26,372 When I saw him at the hospital, 70 00:03:26,405 --> 00:03:30,243 I have never felt so helpless in my entire life. 71 00:03:30,910 --> 00:03:32,679 It was horrible. 72 00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:35,948 The front and back of my pelvis 73 00:03:35,982 --> 00:03:37,483 were completely shattered. 74 00:03:38,184 --> 00:03:41,253 My left wrist was shattered. 75 00:03:41,287 --> 00:03:45,792 My left ankle was broken into two or three chunks, 76 00:03:45,825 --> 00:03:49,462 but the rest of it was kind of pulverized. 77 00:03:49,495 --> 00:03:51,931 It slowly started to dawn on me 78 00:03:51,964 --> 00:03:55,401 that this was something that was going to be life-changing. 79 00:03:56,235 --> 00:03:58,003 You're at the hospital. 80 00:03:59,238 --> 00:04:01,206 We're not looking at the photos right now. 81 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,742 I'm looking at 'em. 82 00:04:05,344 --> 00:04:08,481 You look all you want, baby. 83 00:04:09,748 --> 00:04:12,685 After a year, everything else seemed to heal well, 84 00:04:12,718 --> 00:04:15,888 but the ankle continued to be a problem. 85 00:04:15,921 --> 00:04:18,223 The bone was mostly dead, 86 00:04:18,257 --> 00:04:21,560 and the main fracture was still there. 87 00:04:21,593 --> 00:04:23,963 He was in severe pain all the time, 88 00:04:23,996 --> 00:04:26,666 and he just became so depressed. 89 00:04:26,699 --> 00:04:30,270 I couldn't do the things that I love. 90 00:04:30,303 --> 00:04:33,005 I could barely walk down the street without pain, 91 00:04:33,038 --> 00:04:35,408 never mind go rock climbing. 92 00:04:36,508 --> 00:04:39,512 Rock climbing is his passion. 93 00:04:39,545 --> 00:04:42,515 I mean, I just see him withering if he could not climb. 94 00:04:45,685 --> 00:04:48,654 Jim didn't know what to do, 95 00:04:48,687 --> 00:04:51,857 and then, in a truly incredible stroke of luck, 96 00:04:51,891 --> 00:04:54,994 his past came back to help decide his future. 97 00:04:55,027 --> 00:04:58,364 I began mountain climbing at the tender age of seven. 98 00:04:58,398 --> 00:05:01,634 At the age of 17, I was in a mountain-climbing accident, 99 00:05:01,667 --> 00:05:04,403 and I suffered severe frostbite, 100 00:05:04,436 --> 00:05:07,507 and my legs were amputated. 101 00:05:09,575 --> 00:05:11,510 I really dedicated myself 102 00:05:11,544 --> 00:05:14,546 to redesigning first my own legs, 103 00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:18,484 and then the legs of many, many people around the world. 104 00:05:18,518 --> 00:05:21,353 A few decades, a couple of M.I.T. degrees, 105 00:05:21,387 --> 00:05:23,856 and a single-minded focus to innovate later, 106 00:05:23,889 --> 00:05:26,258 Hugh launched the prosthetics industry 107 00:05:26,291 --> 00:05:27,526 into the bionic future. 108 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,296 I'm getting a tremendous amount of energy, 109 00:05:30,329 --> 00:05:31,463 power from the ankles, 110 00:05:31,496 --> 00:05:33,999 which enables me to walk uphill 111 00:05:34,032 --> 00:05:36,002 with a perfectly erect posture. 112 00:05:37,236 --> 00:05:39,505 My legs, they have the brain. 113 00:05:39,538 --> 00:05:41,974 It's a small computer the size of your thumbnail, 114 00:05:42,008 --> 00:05:44,810 and that brain receives sensory information 115 00:05:44,844 --> 00:05:47,413 from sensors on the bionic limb, 116 00:05:47,446 --> 00:05:49,348 and then it runs algorithms 117 00:05:49,382 --> 00:05:52,785 and makes decisions on how to actuate itself. 118 00:05:52,818 --> 00:05:57,657 And machine learning is used as part of those algorithms. 119 00:05:57,690 --> 00:05:59,791 So, machine learning 120 00:05:59,825 --> 00:06:03,262 is what's called a subset field of Artificial Intelligence. 121 00:06:03,295 --> 00:06:05,531 We learn from experience. 122 00:06:05,565 --> 00:06:08,767 Machine learning is basically learning from the experience, 123 00:06:08,801 --> 00:06:10,269 where the experience is the data. 124 00:06:10,302 --> 00:06:12,538 It takes input from the world, 125 00:06:12,571 --> 00:06:14,840 and the input could be text in books, 126 00:06:14,873 --> 00:06:17,843 it can be camera images from a car, 127 00:06:17,876 --> 00:06:21,046 it applies a very complex mathematical function, 128 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,083 and then has an output, which is a decision. 129 00:06:24,116 --> 00:06:26,985 The bionic legs allow Hugh to walk, run, 130 00:06:27,019 --> 00:06:28,153 even climb, 131 00:06:28,187 --> 00:06:29,321 but for him, 132 00:06:29,354 --> 00:06:30,589 there was still something missing. 133 00:06:30,622 --> 00:06:32,658 Because I can't feel my legs, 134 00:06:32,691 --> 00:06:35,895 they... they remain tool-like to me, 135 00:06:35,928 --> 00:06:38,430 and I believe if I could feel my limbs, 136 00:06:38,464 --> 00:06:41,400 they would become part of me, part of self, 137 00:06:41,434 --> 00:06:44,537 and fundamentally change my relationship 138 00:06:44,570 --> 00:06:47,039 to the synthetic part of my body. 139 00:06:48,941 --> 00:06:51,878 I would describe it as just this amazing, 140 00:06:51,911 --> 00:06:53,478 lucky coincidence 141 00:06:53,512 --> 00:06:57,116 that Hugh and I were roommates 34 years ago. 142 00:06:58,117 --> 00:07:01,587 We were teenagers rock-climbing together 143 00:07:01,620 --> 00:07:05,123 and living like dirtbags, living like bums, 144 00:07:05,157 --> 00:07:06,426 climbing every day. 145 00:07:07,627 --> 00:07:09,962 So I decided I was going to look up Hugh 146 00:07:09,995 --> 00:07:13,466 and talk to him about what my options might be. 147 00:07:14,399 --> 00:07:16,602 Jim was in excruciating pain, 148 00:07:16,635 --> 00:07:19,638 and he asked me if I or my colleagues could help him. 149 00:07:19,671 --> 00:07:21,373 What I really was hoping 150 00:07:21,407 --> 00:07:23,108 was that he could put me in touch 151 00:07:23,141 --> 00:07:26,078 with a reconstructive surgeon that could rebuild my ankle. 152 00:07:26,112 --> 00:07:27,746 Right, so this is your X-ray... 153 00:07:27,780 --> 00:07:31,750 Jim was evaluated, and was provided, uh, options 154 00:07:31,783 --> 00:07:34,754 of either maintaining the biological limb 155 00:07:34,787 --> 00:07:36,154 and doing certain procedures 156 00:07:36,188 --> 00:07:40,626 to try to improve its function and to reduce the pain, 157 00:07:40,659 --> 00:07:44,797 or... to amputate the limb. 158 00:07:44,830 --> 00:07:48,600 The thought of amputation was just so big. 159 00:07:48,634 --> 00:07:49,802 What's life gonna be like for me 160 00:07:49,835 --> 00:07:52,572 if I choose to amputate this foot? 161 00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:56,876 But it hurt so bad. 162 00:07:57,777 --> 00:08:02,448 I spoke with Cathy and Maxine about it. 163 00:08:02,481 --> 00:08:04,450 They were behind me 100%. 164 00:08:04,483 --> 00:08:06,819 Whatever I needed to do. 165 00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:10,756 How do you make a decision like that? 166 00:08:11,724 --> 00:08:12,858 A few months later, 167 00:08:12,891 --> 00:08:14,994 he agreed to have his leg amputated 168 00:08:15,027 --> 00:08:16,295 and be the first person 169 00:08:16,328 --> 00:08:19,265 to try his friend's bold, but experimental procedure. 170 00:08:19,298 --> 00:08:20,665 It's gonna be good. 171 00:08:20,699 --> 00:08:23,202 - Yeah. - Gonna be good. 172 00:08:23,235 --> 00:08:24,236 Love you. 173 00:08:24,269 --> 00:08:25,505 You too. 174 00:08:29,775 --> 00:08:31,376 Bye, honey, love you. 175 00:08:31,410 --> 00:08:32,811 Love you, too. 176 00:08:32,845 --> 00:08:34,980 The way in which limbs are amputated 177 00:08:35,013 --> 00:08:37,650 has not fundamentally changed since the U.S. Civil War... 178 00:08:46,558 --> 00:08:48,060 ...but here at M.I.T., 179 00:08:48,093 --> 00:08:51,664 we were developing a novel way of amputating limbs. 180 00:08:51,697 --> 00:08:54,566 We actually create little biological joints 181 00:08:54,599 --> 00:08:57,302 by linking muscles together in pairs, 182 00:08:57,335 --> 00:08:58,770 so when a person thinks 183 00:08:58,804 --> 00:09:01,373 and moves the limb that's been amputated away, 184 00:09:01,406 --> 00:09:03,642 these muscles move and send sensations 185 00:09:03,675 --> 00:09:06,012 that we can directly link to a bionic limb 186 00:09:06,045 --> 00:09:07,479 in a bi-directional way. 187 00:09:07,512 --> 00:09:09,281 So not only can the person think 188 00:09:09,315 --> 00:09:11,684 and actuate the synthetic limb, 189 00:09:11,717 --> 00:09:14,486 but they can actually feel those synthetic movements 190 00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:15,821 within their own nervous system. 191 00:09:15,854 --> 00:09:17,189 Until recently, 192 00:09:17,223 --> 00:09:20,859 creating a bionic limb that a person can actually feel 193 00:09:20,893 --> 00:09:23,129 has been more science fiction than reality. 194 00:09:23,162 --> 00:09:25,197 Now machine learning 195 00:09:25,231 --> 00:09:28,133 is revolutionizing the way we think about medicine. 196 00:09:28,166 --> 00:09:30,803 If anything can solve the hard problems in medicine, 197 00:09:30,836 --> 00:09:31,670 it's A.I. 198 00:09:31,703 --> 00:09:34,606 Let's take an example, heart disease. 199 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,808 No single human being can have in their head 200 00:09:36,842 --> 00:09:39,478 all the knowledge that it takes to understand heart disease, 201 00:09:39,512 --> 00:09:41,546 but a computer can. 202 00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:43,716 Things like radiology, pathology. 203 00:09:43,749 --> 00:09:45,083 You have an X-ray, 204 00:09:45,117 --> 00:09:46,852 and you wanna see, like, is there cancer in this lung, 205 00:09:46,885 --> 00:09:49,388 and can you pinpoint where the tumor is or not? 206 00:09:49,421 --> 00:09:50,689 A.I.s can, actually, at this point, 207 00:09:50,722 --> 00:09:52,624 do this better than highly trained humans. 208 00:09:52,658 --> 00:09:56,095 Can we get the, uh, Esmarch, please? 209 00:10:00,099 --> 00:10:02,568 It's so light! 210

You just start finish line... 349 00:16:19,278 --> 00:16:20,845 The strength of these A.I. systems 350 00:16:20,879 --> 00:16:23,448 come in having access to a ton of data 351 00:16:23,481 --> 00:16:25,951 and being able to find patterns in that data, 352 00:16:25,984 --> 00:16:28,186 generating insights and inferences 353 00:16:28,219 --> 00:16:30,989 that maybe people may not be aware of, 354 00:16:31,022 --> 00:16:33,125 and then augmenting people's abilities 355 00:16:33,158 --> 00:16:35,694 to make decisions based on that data. 356 00:16:35,727 --> 00:16:36,996 Machine learning 357 00:16:37,029 --> 00:16:40,032 is transforming many industries and applications, 358 00:16:40,065 --> 00:16:42,500 especially in areas where there's a lot of data, 359 00:16:42,534 --> 00:16:45,637 and predicting outcomes can have a big payoff. 360 00:16:45,671 --> 00:16:46,805 Finance, 361 00:16:46,838 --> 00:16:48,840 sports, 362 00:16:48,873 --> 00:16:50,442 or medicine come to mind. 363 00:16:51,643 --> 00:16:54,713 Using an emerging technology like machine learning 364 00:16:54,746 --> 00:16:57,383 in a classic old-school sport like stock car racing 365 00:16:57,416 --> 00:17:00,585 doesn't necessarily sit well with everybody... 366 00:17:00,618 --> 00:17:04,056 which may or may not explain why this guy's doing it... 367 00:17:06,157 --> 00:17:08,693 in a nerve center 250 miles away. 368 00:17:08,726 --> 00:17:11,663 Clear, clear, hit the marks, drive off, man. 369 00:17:12,831 --> 00:17:15,567 My role there really is looking at the data. 370 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,103 How do you use data you can acquire at the racetrack 371 00:17:18,136 --> 00:17:19,237 to get these machines 372 00:17:19,271 --> 00:17:20,572 to be right on the limit of performance? 373 00:17:20,605 --> 00:17:23,341 His front rotors are really glowing. 374 00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:26,478 We get the braking, steering, throttle, 375 00:17:26,511 --> 00:17:29,448 all the acceleration off of every car in the field, 376 00:17:29,481 --> 00:17:30,549 real time... 377 00:17:30,582 --> 00:17:31,784 All this data 378 00:17:31,817 --> 00:17:35,086 is being fed into an A.I. program called "Pit Rho." 379 00:17:37,055 --> 00:17:38,490 Sensors in every car 380 00:17:38,524 --> 00:17:42,227 measure speed, throttle, braking, and steering. 381 00:17:42,260 --> 00:17:45,596 Advanced GPS tracks the car's position on the track. 382 00:17:45,630 --> 00:17:47,366 Watch your middle, watch your middle. 383 00:17:47,399 --> 00:17:51,236 All this data is made available to every team. 384 00:17:51,269 --> 00:17:54,540 This is where the power of A.I. comes in. 385 00:17:54,573 --> 00:17:55,507 So, our tool basically 386 00:17:55,540 --> 00:17:59,077 is analyzing the optimum strategy call 387 00:17:59,110 --> 00:18:01,279 of every car in the field, real time. 388 00:18:01,312 --> 00:18:04,315 Not just our car, but every car. 389 00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:06,618 It's almost threatening. 390 00:18:06,651 --> 00:18:08,487 I was a crew chief for Dale Earnhardt Sr. 391 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:09,921 Comin' to ya. 392 00:18:09,954 --> 00:18:11,089 10-4. 393 00:18:11,123 --> 00:18:12,457 I would sit up on the box 394 00:18:12,491 --> 00:18:15,494 and intuitively kinda figure all these things. 395 00:18:15,527 --> 00:18:17,996 You kinda just make that gut call, 396 00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:19,364 "Bring him in now." 397 00:18:19,397 --> 00:18:21,232 Until now, many key decisions, 398 00:18:21,266 --> 00:18:23,502 like when to pit for tires or fuel, 399 00:18:23,535 --> 00:18:25,370 were made by the drivers and the crew chief 400 00:18:25,404 --> 00:18:27,839 using experience and intuition. 401 00:18:27,873 --> 00:18:29,441 Now, we've got artificial intelligence 402 00:18:29,474 --> 00:18:31,042 that's making all these calculations 403 00:18:31,076 --> 00:18:32,344 in real time. 404 00:18:32,377 --> 00:18:33,578 Some of the crew chiefs 405 00:18:33,611 --> 00:18:35,347 that have done what I've done over the years, 406 00:18:35,380 --> 00:18:37,916 sometimes it's hard for us to embrace it. 407 00:18:40,352 --> 00:18:43,020 They're trying to get through traffic as fast as they can 408 00:18:43,054 --> 00:18:44,122 so they don't get a lap down, 409 00:18:44,156 --> 00:18:46,624 but that's gonna use up those tires. 410 00:18:46,657 --> 00:18:48,793 You can go at this track on fuel 411 00:18:48,826 --> 00:18:52,230 probably 120 laps, but your tires will be shot way before then. 412 00:18:52,263 --> 00:18:54,066 In a NASCAR race, 413 00:18:54,099 --> 00:18:56,501 pit stops are the key to a winning strategy. 414 00:18:56,535 --> 00:18:57,769 You're trying to decide 415 00:18:57,803 --> 00:19:00,038 when in that cycle is the best to make that stop, 416 00:19:00,071 --> 00:19:03,308 because you lose a lot of time when you come off the track and you have to stop, 417 00:19:03,341 --> 00:19:06,010 but then you gain a lot of speed when you put new tires on. 418 00:19:06,044 --> 00:19:07,512 This is the first time 419 00:19:07,545 --> 00:19:09,615 we're facing, like, a strategy call here. 420 00:19:09,648 --> 00:19:11,616 The Pit Rho A.I. interface 421 00:19:11,649 --> 00:19:13,652 displays one of four suggestions... 422 00:19:15,053 --> 00:19:16,688 stay out on the track, 423 00:19:16,722 --> 00:19:18,156 pit for fuel only, 424 00:19:18,190 --> 00:19:19,658 pit for two tires, 425 00:19:19,691 --> 00:19:21,826 or pit for four tires. 426 00:19:21,860 --> 00:19:22,961 So right now, 427 00:19:22,994 --> 00:19:24,362 it's telling him to take four tires. 428 00:19:24,396 --> 00:19:26,098 Eric relays the message 429 00:19:26,131 --> 00:19:28,400 to the Childress team at the track. 430 00:19:28,433 --> 00:19:30,401 The final decision on when to pit 431 00:19:30,435 --> 00:19:32,871 will be up to the crew chief. 432 00:19:34,105 --> 00:19:35,774 When the pits are open, 433 00:19:35,807 --> 00:19:38,309 it'll be four tires here, four tires. 434 00:19:38,343 --> 00:19:40,078 For the first pit stop, 435 00:19:40,111 --> 00:19:42,247 the crew chief follows the A.I.'s advice. 436 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,918 Five, four, three, two, one. 437 00:19:45,951 --> 00:19:47,853 Put on the brakes, wheels lift. 438 00:19:47,886 --> 00:19:50,756 The crew has to change all four tires 439 00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:52,791 in as little time as possible. 440 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,963 This usually takes between 12 and 14 seconds. 441 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,036 All the way, all the way! 442 00:20:04,069 --> 00:20:05,069 That's a good stop. 443 00:20:05,103 --> 00:20:06,604 Really good stop. 444 00:20:06,637 --> 00:20:08,973 Sometimes, what happens is, over the course of a race, 445 00:20:09,007 --> 00:20:10,742 those little bit better decisions 446 00:20:10,775 --> 00:20:13,478 puts you in a spot, and it puts you in an opportunity 447 00:20:13,511 --> 00:20:16,682 at the end of the race to be able to win the race. 448 00:20:22,754 --> 00:20:25,289 Every lap, it's analyzing the field, 449 00:20:25,323 --> 00:20:26,892 updating its models. 450 00:20:26,925 --> 00:20:30,528 As the race goes on, the prediction gets more and more accurate. 451 00:20:30,562 --> 00:20:32,998 They're using an A.I. technique 452 00:20:33,031 --> 00:20:34,900 called "reinforcement learning," 453 00:20:34,933 --> 00:20:36,635 which is, basically, 454 00:20:36,668 --> 00:20:39,371 when the computer is given the rules of the game, 455 00:20:39,404 --> 00:20:40,772 plays it over and over 456 00:20:40,805 --> 00:20:43,341 till it learns every possible move and outcome, 457 00:20:43,374 --> 00:20:44,943 and then through trial and error, 458 00:20:44,976 --> 00:20:47,779 and patience that no human could possibly have... 459 00:20:47,812 --> 00:20:50,448 I wonder if we have a resignation here. 460 00:20:50,481 --> 00:20:53,752 ...becomes amazing. 461 00:20:53,785 --> 00:20:56,087 Congratulations to AlphaGo 462 00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:57,622 and to the entire team. 463 00:20:57,655 --> 00:20:59,491 It's what Google's DeepMind did 464 00:20:59,524 --> 00:21:01,926 to become a world champ at Go. 465 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,662 Here we go! 466 00:21:04,696 --> 00:21:06,598 It's what Open A.I. did 467 00:21:06,631 --> 00:21:09,100 to conquer the video game Dota 2... 468 00:21:09,134 --> 00:21:10,334 He's dominating. 469 00:21:10,368 --> 00:21:11,569 Are you scared of a bot here? 470 00:21:11,603 --> 00:21:13,939 ...and build a robotic hand 471 00:21:13,972 --> 00:21:16,541 with near-human dexterity. 472 00:21:16,575 --> 00:21:20,312 It's what Eric's hoping to do to get the checkered flag. 473 00:21:21,513 --> 00:21:24,983 You can see he's on his way to the top 10. 474 00:21:25,016 --> 00:21:27,719 Yeah, we got through, Andrew, focus here. 475 00:21:29,287 --> 00:21:31,222 And you go up a few cars, 476 00:21:31,255 --> 00:21:33,057 you'll find the 3 of Austin Dillon 477 00:21:33,091 --> 00:21:34,258 up in sixth place, 478 00:21:34,292 --> 00:21:36,862 making up time on the race leader. 479 00:21:44,436 --> 00:21:48,373 So the recommendation is pit on lap 327. 480 00:21:51,075 --> 00:21:54,946 What my fear is is that they'll pit with the leaders 481 00:21:54,979 --> 00:21:58,016 instead of actually running to the strategy. 482 00:21:58,049 --> 00:22:00,352 Going to the pits when the leaders do 483 00:22:00,385 --> 00:22:02,721 is the safe play in the end stages of a race... 484 00:22:02,754 --> 00:22:04,155 Sparks, you got me? 485 00:22:04,188 --> 00:22:07,292 ...but the A.I. tool is recommending a riskier plan 486 00:22:07,325 --> 00:22:10,929 that might gain them valuable seconds. 487 00:22:13,698 --> 00:22:15,233 By pitting later, 488 00:22:15,267 --> 00:22:17,202 Austin Dillon will have faster tires 489 00:22:17,235 --> 00:22:19,338 for the closing laps of the race, 490 00:22:19,371 --> 00:22:21,940 but he risks falling further behind the leaders 491 00:22:21,973 --> 00:22:24,943 once they come out of the pits with their fresh tires. 492 00:22:29,313 --> 00:22:32,350 A lot of times when our Pit Rho technology tells us, 493 00:22:32,383 --> 00:22:36,621 "This is the time to pit," or, "This is how to do it," it doesn't feel right. 494 00:22:38,256 --> 00:22:40,091 Are you sure you wanna do that now? 495 00:22:40,125 --> 00:22:41,993 Sometimes you might be sitting out there 496 00:22:42,026 --> 00:22:43,394 running laps on older tires, 497 00:22:43,428 --> 00:22:45,030 where everybody else is pitted, 498 00:22:45,063 --> 00:22:47,966 and it's like, it doesn't feel right for the driver. 499 00:22:52,370 --> 00:22:54,171 He's gonna want to pit, 500 00:22:54,205 --> 00:22:57,308 and you gotta convince him, "Stay, make good laps. Trust us, it's gonna work." 501 00:22:57,342 --> 00:23:00,712 Some leaders are gonna pit right here, and we need to run. 502 00:23:03,515 --> 00:23:05,216 Looks like the 22 503 00:23:05,250 --> 00:23:06,985 is gonna choose to come down pit road. 504 00:23:07,018 --> 00:23:10,288 So, all the front four came in on the same lap 505 00:23:10,321 --> 00:23:11,456 with 82 laps to go. 506 00:23:11,489 --> 00:23:13,591 On lap 318, 507 00:23:13,624 --> 00:23:17,095 the top four cars enter the pits. 508 00:23:26,103 --> 00:23:29,207 Here's where the faith in the tool ends up happening. 509 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,575 When they all pit, 510 00:23:30,608 --> 00:23:32,443 it takes a lot of faith to just stay out there 511 00:23:32,477 --> 00:23:33,712 and run to your lap. 512 00:23:39,717 --> 00:23:42,420 Austin Dillon breaks from the A.I. strategy 513 00:23:42,453 --> 00:23:44,455 and follows the leaders into the pits. 514 00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:47,926 That's not good news. 515 00:23:47,959 --> 00:23:50,362 Three, two, one. 516 00:23:50,395 --> 00:23:52,697 Put on the brakes, wheels lift. 517 00:23:52,731 --> 00:23:54,599 To maintain their position, 518 00:23:54,632 --> 00:23:57,903 the team needs a flawless pit stop. 519 00:24:09,247 --> 00:24:11,216 Son of a bitch! 520 00:24:14,986 --> 00:24:17,088 We're not gonna be nowhere near 'em. 521 00:24:17,121 --> 00:24:18,356 Got killed on pit road. 522 00:24:18,389 --> 00:24:20,825 It's pretty disastrous. 523 00:24:20,858 --> 00:24:23,995 Prior to the pit stop, we were about 4.6 seconds back, 524 00:24:24,029 --> 00:24:26,298 but when we came out, we were nine seconds back, 525 00:24:26,331 --> 00:24:28,766 so we lost about four and a half seconds 526 00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:31,336 on that-- in that exchange. That's hard to get back. 527 00:24:31,369 --> 00:24:34,038 Let's go to work on him.
