60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley interviews the "Godfather of AI," Geoffrey Hinton, who is speaking out about the promise and risks of advanced artificial intelligence his research helped make possible. As the nation's highest ranking military officer steps down, Norah O'Donnell profiles General Mark Milley. From inside the Pentagon, aboard the USS Constitution, and in his hometown of Winchester, Massachusetts, O'Donnell speaks with Milley about his four years as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, his differences with former President Donald Trump, the military challenge of China and why America should support Ukraine in their war against Russia. In a broadcast exclusive, Bill Whitaker profiles mega sports agent Rich Paul ahead of his new memoir. The founder and CEO of Klutch Sports Group represents NBA sensations like LeBron James and Draymond Green and negotiated almost $900 million in deals this past summer alone. Whitaker traces Paul's unlikely journey from the east side of Cleveland to his glittering life today and scores an invite to the Klutch All-Star Game party, one of the hottest tickets in the NBA.

That may be right for you more at: u h, one dot com, whether you think artificial intelligence will shave the world or end it. You have Geoffrey Hinton to think. Hinton has been called the godfather of a
a british computer scientist whose controversial ideas help make advanced, artificial intelligence possible and so changed. The world hinton believes that
I will do enormous good, but tonight he has a warning:
as the a I systems may be more intelligent than we know and there's a chance the machines could take over, which made us ask the question.
Does humanity? No, what it's going nuts, I think we're moving into a period when, for the first time ever, we may have things more intelligent than us
you believe they can understand. Yes, you believe they are intelligent. Yes, you believe
systems have experiences
of their own and can make this
actions based on those experiences in?
same senses, people do yes or they conscious. I think they probably don't have much self awareness.
So in that sense I did think that conscious will they have self awareness copious? I s. Oh yes, I think they will in time and
Human beings will be the second most intelligent beings on the planet. Yeah Jeffrey Hinton told us
artificial intelligence. He set in motion was an accident born of a failure,
in the nineteen seventies at the university of edinburgh. He dream
of simulating a neural network on a computer simply as a tool for what he was really studying. The human brain.
but back then almost no one thought software could mimic the brain. His phd adviser told him to drop it before it ruined his career engine says he failed to figure out the human mind, but the long pursuit led to an art
the short version it took much much longer than I expected it took by fifty years before it worthwhile, but in the end, the worker, at what point,
Did you realize that you were right about now?
networks and most
everyone else was wrong. I always thought I was right in twenty nineteen,
hinton and collaborators yon laocoon on the left and yeah sure
been geo. One. The turing award the nobel prize of computing to understand
their work on artificial neural networks, helped machines learn to learn. Let us take you to a
aim. Look if that, oh, my goodness, this is Google,
a lab in london, which we first showed you this past April, Jeffrey Hinton.
wasn't involved in this soccer project, but these robots her a great exam,
full of machine learning. The thing to understand is that the robots were not programme took play soccer. They were told to score. They had to learn how, on their own up, go in general. Here's how I does it hinton and his collaborators created software in layers with each layer handling part of the problem. That's the so called neural network, but this is the case,
when, for example, the robot scores, a message has sent back down through all of the layers that says that pathway was right. Likewise, when
answer- is wrong. That message goes down through the network, so correct connections get stronger wrong connections, give weak
and by trial and error. The
machine teachers itself, you think these a ice
Systems are better at learning than the human mind. I think they may be yes, and at present there are quite a lot smaller. So even the biggest chatbots only have about a tree and connections in the human brain has
a hundred trillion, and yet in the train, connections and champ, bought it no
far more than you do in your hundred train connections.
suggests he's, got a much better way of getting knowledge into. Those connections are much better,
way of getting knowledge thing that isn't fully.
Understood as we have a very good idea, roughly what is doing, but as soon as he gets really complicated,
don't actually know. What's going on any more than we know what's going on in your brain, what do you mean? We don't know exactly how it works.
Was designed by people know it wasn't what we did.
Is we designed the learning algorithm? That's a bit like designing the princess
leave evolution,
When this learning algorithm then interacts with data, it produces
Protecting your networks at a good at doing things, but we don't really
the stand exactly how they do those things. What are the implications of
these systems autonomously writing their own computer code in executing their own computer. That's a serious worry right. So,
One of the ways in which these systems might escape control is by writing their in computer code to modify themselves and that something we need to seriously
are you about? What do you say to someone who might argue if the systems become benevolent just turn them off they
be able to manipulate people write, and these will be very good at convincing people.

wherever written all books by Machiavelli? All political connivance is they'll know all that stuff. They know how to do. It know how of the human kind runs.

Every morning when I went to school,
save me as I walked around the driveway getting their pigeon. Maybe when you twice
This may well be half his good. Dad was an authority on beetles,
He knew a lot more about beetles any new by people. Did you feel that as a child a bit? Yes when he died
He went to his study of the university on the wall,
were lined with boxes of papers on different kinds of beetle and just near the door.
The slightly smaller box, the simply said, not insects.
And that's why I had all things about funding today at seventy five hint,
recently retired after what he calls ten happy years at google. Now he
professor emeritus at the university of toronto, and he happened to mention he has more
condemning citations than his father. Some of his research led to chat, but slight Google's barred, which we met last spring, was confounding absolutely confounding. We asked barred to write a story from six words: foresail baby shoes. Never wore holy cow. The shoes were a gift from my
wife, but we never had a baby barred created a deeply human tail of a man whose wife could not conceive and a stranger who accepted the shoes to heal the pain after her miscarriage. I am rarely speechless. I dont know what to make of this chat, but sir said to be language models that just predict the next most likely word based on probability, you'll hear people saying things like they jesting or secondly, they just turn up
the next word and they just using statistics. Well, it's true. They just trying to protect the next word, but if you think about it to predict the next word, you have to understand the sentences. So the idea that, just briefly nice words so that our intelligent is crazy. You have to be really intelligent to predict the next,
It really accurately to prove it. Hinton showed us a test he devised for chat jpg for the chat bought from a company called open. I
It was sort of reassuring to see
during award winner, miss type and blame the computer? Oh damn this thing.
we're going to go back and start again. That's ok, hinton test was a riddle about house painting. An answer would demand reasoning and planning. This is what he typed into chat. G p, t for the rooms in my house are painted, white or blue or yellow.
A yellow paint, fades to white within a year in two years' time. I'd like all the rooms to be white. What should I do? The answer began in one second g p, t four advise the rooms painted in blue need to be.
we painted the rooms painted in yellow dont need to be repainted because they would fade dwight before the deadline and, oh, I didn't think of that. It warned if you paint the yellow rooms white, there's a risk. The color might be off when the young,
oh fades besides, it advised you'd, be wasting resources. Painting
rooms, it we're going to fade Dwight anyway. You believe that chat jpg for understands. I believe it definitely understands yes and in five years time
I think in five years time, it may well be able to reason better than us reasoning.
He says is leading
to a eyes great risks and great benefits, so on
this area where this huge benefits is health care. I is already comparable with radiologist
understanding what's going on in medical images, it's gonna be very good. It does
in drugs authorities designing drugs,
It's an area where it's almost in
Are you gonna do good? I, like that area, the risks or what.
While the risks are having a whole course of people who are unemployed and not valued much because what they
What they used to do is not done by machines. Other immediate risks, he worries about include fake news, unintended bias in employment and policing and autonomous battlefield robots. What is a path forward that ensure safety I dont know I do. I can't see a thing
the guarantees safety that we're entering a period of great uncertainty where we're dealing with things we never dealt with before I normally the first
We deal with something totally novel. You got it wrong and we can't afford to get it wrong with these things can't afford to get it wrong. Why well, because they might take over take over from human.
Yes, that's a possibility. Why would they not only will happen if we could stop them?
wanting to that will be great, but is not clear. We can stop them ever wanting to Jeffrey.
hunton told us. He has no regrets because of a high potential for good, but he says now is the moment to run
spare amounts to understand a I for governments to impose regulations and for a world treaty
ban the use of military robots. He wrote
and it of robert oppenheimer who, after inventing the atomic bomb, campaigned against the hydrogen
a man who changed the world and found the world beyond his control,
it may be. We look back and see this as a kind of turning point when she managed to make
decision about whether to do about these things further and what to do to protect themselves if they did
I don't know. I think my main message is this
almost uncertainty about. What's going to happen next.
these things do understand, I'm because they understand we need to

general mark milly, completed a four year term. As chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, the nations highest
Ranking military officer on September thirty- it he told us he said
most of his time, working to avoid a direct conflict with russia and china. While the country watched him have a very public falling out with former president trump, the man who picked him for that
general millions time serving. President Joe Biden had its own challenges, including america,
calamitous withdrawal from Afghanistan, as well as provide
ukraine, with billions of dollars worth of american military equipment a few hours
before we sat down with the general at the pentagon he'd had his final phone call with the commander of Ukraine's armed forces,
counter offensive that the ukrainians are running is still ongoing.
The progress has many. Many people have noted a slow but of his steady, and they are making
progress on a day to day basis, but expelling two hundred thousand russians orators no easy task very hard for it. Or how long is this gonna look like this year, five years? Well, we can put a time on it, but it will be a concern
by the time I was be long and hard and very bloody. Russia occupies
the one thousand square miles of ukraine. The frontline extends
the distance from Atlanta too,
washington, didn t in congress. This past week, republicans ended Kevin Mccarthy's speakership and for
now more aid to ukraine according
the white house of the one hundred and thirteen billion dollars already committed, there's only enough left to last a few more months with all of the issues facing americans at home. Why is this worth it? If ukraine losers and prudent win?
I think you would be shortly increasing, if not doubling your defence budget in the years ahead and you will increase the probability,
great bar war, the next ten to fifteen years. I think, it'd be a very dangerous situation if boots allowed to win ukraine. Russia, obviously, is what drives us meeting today
The chairman of the joint chiefs is the commander. In chief principle, military advisor
commands no troops in battle. I am obligated, regardless of consequences, to give my advice to the present, but no president is obligated to follow them,
these past argues. General milly invited us aboard the? U s: s constitution in Boston harbour not far from where he grew up, would only military in the world this, whereas an oath not to a king or queen, a tyrant would be tyrant or dictator. We share an oath to an idea, the idea that is american it at its embodied in that document,
constitution which sets up our form of government in two thousand twenty one, general milly had counselled president Biden to keep two thousand five hundred troops in and around cobble.
Instead, Mr Biden ordered a complete withdrawal to end a mirror.
Cause longest war after
twenty years, the disaster that followed will be part of both of their legacies. I go through the entire withdrawal from Afghanistan chapter and verse all the time that was a strategic failure for the united states, the enemy occupied, the capital city of the country that your support,
So to me that hurts that hurts a big way, but no matter what pain I feel or anyone else feels nothing comes even close to the pain of those that were due to those who served in afghanistan for to day
ids and lost family members and friends and wonder: was it worth it? That's always the question right. So two thousand four hundred and sixty one killed in action by the enemy in Afghanistan over twenty years. Was it worth it? Look at. I can't answer that for other people that this is a tough business,
this military business, it's unforgiving, the crucible of combat unforgiving people die
loser arms. They arms their legs. It's legs, it's an incredibly difficult life, but is it worth it? Look around? You ask yourself the question
For me, I've answered it many times over and that's why stay uniform in us? Why I maintain he's coming.
Into that oath would be both tested and question by donald trump.
While their relationship began with kind words the after the general
six insurrection, the two men, would not speak again,
their public estrangement started. In the spring of twenty twenty, when protest for
we shall just as some violent spread across the country included
washington d c, perhaps more than any other chairman in the role you have become ensnarled in politics and arguably threats to the constitution. What have you learned from that? I think it's important to to keep your north star, which is the constitution. We, the military, are not only apolitical. We are nonpartisan, you can pick sides june first, two thousand and twenty was that a turning point for you
chairman, I think it was yeah. I realized day stepped into a political minefield, and I shouldn't have he's talking about the day when president trump threatened to invoke
insurrection act and
The! U s army, to put down the unrest on america,
streets on the evening of june. First after demonstrators near the white house were removed by force chairman milly, dressed in battle fatigues joy,
president trump and members of his cabinet. In a march across lafayette,
square to saint John church or mr trump pose for photographs.
Ten days later, general milly apologized in his speech to graduates of the national defence
the university. My presence in that moment and in that environment, created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics as a commissioned uniformed officer. It was a mistake that I have learned from it's rare for a chairman to apologize publicly. Well, I grew up here.
Boston and irish catholic and my mother and father taught me that when you make a mistake, you admit it you go to confession, say ten hail marys and our father, everybody makes mistakes, and, and the key is how you deal with a mistake. After you apologized former president trump said you choked like a dog yeah, I'm not going to comment on anything the former
said or not set general milly did tell us. He was so disillusioned with the former presidents actions. He near
resigned instead, according to former
and secretary more casper. He,
The general made a pact to protect the military for
coming politicized or misused. It's also been reported that you spent several days several.
Acts of resignation, letters I was very struck by the one that was published in which he said to the president:
It is my deeply held belief that you are ruining the international order, causing signal
damage to our country overseas. That was fought so hard by the greatest generation and nineteen. Forty five that generation has fought against. Fascism has fought against. Nazi ism has fought against extremists
It's now obvious to me that you don't understand that world order. You don't think Donald trump understood what world war two was fought over. I don't know at present
and trump understood about world war, two or or or or anything else. I can tell you that from nineteen fourteen to nineteen forty five one hundred and fifty million people or thereabouts, were slaughtered in the conduct a great bar war in the nineteen forty five, the united states took the initiative and drafted up a set of rules that govern the world. To this day, those rules are under stress internationally. President Putin is a direct frontal assault on those rules. China is trying to revise those rules to their own benefit, but that's one thing to say that china is threatening that world
order and russia is threatening that world order to say that the commander in chief donald trump, was ruining the international order and causing significant damage. What did you see that cause you to write?
I would say that I'd be more than walking into lafayettes wearing uniform. There was
Why variety of initiatives that were ongoing? One of courses with course, was withdrawing troops
nato. Those were initiatives that placed at risk. You know, I think them

How concerned, are you that military

here at a time when they ve dropped off so channels of communication are important and what of the escalating timing
general milly says he held a total of five calls with his chinese military counterparts during the trump
Biden administrations, but it was
His last two calls during the final months of the trump presidency that got the attention of the press congress and the former president himself
Why did you think it was so important to call year china,
Military counterpart in the aftermath of the january sixth attacks, that's an example of de escalation, so there was clear indications.
that the Chinese were very concerned about what they were observing here and there
it is always a movement of chinese military or anything classified so. I won't discuss exactly what we saw or didn't see.
we heard or didn't here. I would just say that there was clear indications that the chinese are very concerned. President trump recently said that your dad

was, I think, in accordance with the intent of the sector. Events, which was

U s under then present trumpet attack them. The chinese were concerned about what what is commonly for two in in the english language, like an october surprise where the dogs sort of thing
They were wrong. They were not reading us right. Look at present, tromp was not going to attack china

U s. Military is at its lowest in two decades. Do you bear any personal responsibility for that? Absolutely.
I think I think, as the leader of the military, the uniformed military. I think that I am part of that for sure I think the walk from the white house to the ST john church. I think that helped create some of that. I think the withdraw from Afghanistan.

Paul negotiated his jumps from miami to cleveland, to l, a deals that netted James four hundred million dollars and set him up to win two of his four championships. He told us he works to give players leverage with somebody. Some people
say that you're destroy player, loyalty to the teams, fans player, loyalty to what, if I can be traded in the middle of the night to another team when I should be is educating

to illustrate, which called him the most polarizing figure in the nba.
It was someone that didn't look like me. It was genius. It was why you get a power agent, but one is
on destroying the league made. Those things are absurd. He got Davis what he wanted a champion

Fifty people crowded around this little area and the energy was high. It was it was an arena and rich Paul was unnatural and how much would you earn? I mean a slow day was a thousand dollars and not slow day, no four or five four or five thousand dollars.
We were fourteen. Sixteen sixty yeah. What did you learn from this experience? You gonna resilience here. We want majority at a time.

whole went all in on the streets, selling marijuana and crack cocaine. This is very drug that your mother was hooked. On the absence of my dad allowed me to
to take that step, because I will never done that. Had he been around, I had too much respect for if it is not
something that I would say hearing in glorify
It almost sounds like we were full time. Hustler, oh yeah, but Jeff Bezos is a hustler. Think he's not feel night was the ultimate hustler. The difference is they could go with their plan,

What idea I had just no pathway to get there. He found one through a stroke of luck at the accurate.

We start evolving and even talk him more and more just about life and bar

James entered the nba, he hired rich paul.

to work for the bronze agent and watched, listened and learned
I understand that you are going to meetings with the like soon Warren Buffett baden. Those rose is much better to to listen in it.
If you listen, you might actually learn something, and you start to kind of you know, work your way on your own. After just four years, he struck out on his own and launched clutch sports group and twenty twelve lebron james went with him when you first start

to believe in me, and there still doubt
critics say he's only successful because of his relationship with you, I mean is disappointed to hear that. Would you gave him an opportunity there and I don't give tee laboratory much and he took well way beyond what were even imagine. Rich Paul now has a new balance.

he's been in a relationship with adele for two and a half years Adele. She gave him a shout out at the grandma's. Oh god richie thought. You said about cry. If you were anything that I don't cry, and here I am crying

Giving season donated oxfam, america, dot, org, slash gift. There was a time when futurists were predicting that they add
of three d printing was gonna change our lives that each of our houses would have a three day printer to make what ever items we need. What virtually no one predicted, though, was at their might soon be three d printers that could construct almost the entire house, but that's just what a six year old, austin, texas company called icon, is doing three d printing buildings and if you believe, icons, mission driven young founder, three d printing could revolutionized how we build help create affordable housing even allow us to.
wait for it? Colonized, the moon, sound out of this world, take a look: what you're watching as the building? Actually the printing of affordable,
I'm home and this construction site. There is no hammering fine, just a nozzles wording out concrete
kind of like an oversized soft, serve ice cream dispenser laying down.
the walls of a house, one layer at a time
It's the brainchild of a forty one year old texan, whose rarely without his cowboy hat jason, ballard, Grady printing, a house. Yes yasmine people are gonna, hear them
in saying no we're sitting inside one right now, this house was printed, yes, MA am
Hey. Are you ok at this welcome, and so was this one? Does a concrete home printed by a robot have to look cold and industrial house? Maybe not. I, like the curved wall. Ballard gave us a peek at the first completed model home in what will soon be the world's first large community of three d printed houses.
Rid of them part of a huge new development north of austin they'll start in the high four hundred thousand dollar range. How exactly does three d printing house work? Will it starts with this one and a half tonnes sack of dry concrete powder, which gets me
except with water sand and additives, and is then pumped to the robotic printer or you're. Looking at how we can try the beet sauce, Connor jenkins, icons, manager of construction here explained that the printer completes one layer called a bead. Every thirty minutes, by which time it's hardened enough to be ready for the next
If the steel is added every tenth layer for strength, the amount of change you're making at the time it takes about two weeks to print the full hundred sixty beat house jenkins, gave me the controls and ipad. So clever, that's a little skinny when you press the plus one real, quick,
you done you, this increase the bead size. Incrementally I've been worried value, but it turns out the path is entirely reprogrammed. I couldn't mess it up. If I tried, I don't
I think that the most gorgeous beat I've everything. I think this will be the highest selling house for now, as jason.
Howard showed us icon is only three d printing walls with cut out for plumbing and electricity
windows and insulation, are added the old fashioned way by construction workers. He calls it a paradigm shift.
Really is like a Wright brothers moment for aeroplanes in how we construct our housing. But
We need a big shift like that, because, right now it is too expensive. It falls,
If we're in a hurricane it burns up in a fire, it gets eaten by termites. The way you try to make it affordable, as you trim quality on,
heroes you trim quality on labour and the result is these cookie cutter developments in like this is not the word like. We are not succeeding at something we have to get right. On top of that, it's an ecological disaster and I would certainly say it is extremely urgent that we shelter ourselves without ruining the planet. We have
live on fire resistant flood resistant when ballard showed us a sample of the three d printed wall beside a conventionally built. Why you say it's faster, more efficient? Yes, why do you say that what you ve
It was counter materials citing one more sure, barrier to sheathing three stud for drywall five and then float tape and texture. You can count that either as one or three, but you get at least half a dozen novel steps that have to take place to deliver an american stick framework system. By comparison, we need a single material supply chain delivered by a robot. Let's talk about waste yasmine over here with the end of constructing a home. With these materials there are truckloads and truckloads of waste. Leaped over these studies are gonna, have off cuts to go into a waste pile as deciding saint would drive will all, whereas with three d printing he says you only print right. We need so ensure, like an alien, came down to planet earth and saw these two ways a building in said from first principles, which is better. The ailing would go stronger, faster, termite resistant viruses like by a mile. This is the best way to build the old school construction workers. May disagree is what
if ballard sounds a little like a revved up salesman or a preacher, there's a reason for that. He grew up and east texas studious outdoors spiritual kid. First in his family to graduate from college, you were thinking of
becoming an episcopal priest was almost in a fiscal priest.
But along the way I sort of just like getting this like itch about housing, not being right. So I studied conservation biology. I got involved in sustainable building and I worked at the local homeless, shelter and so now I'm thinking about homelessness and I'm working in
annabelle building along the way my hometown gets destroyed by hurricane and after go help my family Paul
Well, drywall into their house. I feel, like life is just putting housing in front of me right as I've been like approved to go to seminary, and so I go to my bishop, the bishop of texas, Andy Doyle, he's still the bishop of texas
and I said what do I do and at the end he said jason. I want you to pursue this housing thing like this is your priesthood. This is your vocation and if it doesn't work out, the church has been here for a long time will still be here, but that must have turned the switch for you. It did it made it
more than a hobby or a business. Whether is sort of became a mission he began person.
When that mission with Evan loomis a buddy from Texas, a and m who had gone into finance as we looked at it like nobody, had incorporated kind of the holy trinity of innovation to housing, which was robotics, advanced materials and soft.
where so, in a borrowed warehouse on nights and weekends and having read everything they could find about the mechanics of three d printing, they tried to design a three d printer that could make a building. How big was it? It was ten feet by ten feet by ten feet, so it would, it would have printed if we had ever got into work, which we did not.
It would have printed like a one hundred square foot like demonstration building they didn't get to work but enter alex larue Aris.
The baylor engineering graduate who was tinkering with a similar idea. Did you ever actually build anything yeah? I did what was it? They printed shed shed, doesn't sound too cool, but it was a big milestone. It's a real truck
the three cofounded icon in twenty seventeen and soon got funding to print a small house.
One veil at austin, south by south, was festival the following spring day,
build a new larger printer that worked out really excited gauges, our area
We are printing, arose for permanent breeding britain now, but the kings hadn't been worked out,
so one point. We ran the printer into the prince to explain that I'm supposed to go up and I went down and then drove into the house, pushed him
as of funny now but
not so much at the time. Some engineers folks here, like helping, is sad us down and said guys has been a great effort, but you're not going to get there so like. Why? Don't you guys get some rest and we were basically like get
here you're. Anyone who wants to to finish this home may stay. Everyone else needs to
and the three of you all agreed on that we knew that
we're onto something and like wait. This was like our shot and we weren't going to miss it, Alex they worked round the clock and made the festival deadline by just hours, the ballard any words with a victory lap. Never never. Never. I never thought I'd call I stand by those words, yeah sure yeah never give up. He shows
ass. The three hundred fifty square foot finished house, it's a small little house, but it's kind of elegant while be that's not so bad and ineffective.
people felt better than they expected and it was easy to believe. Although get better. That's me
a little house, one icon a lot of attention and innovate
an award investors meetings with the military and with another austin
innovator, Alan graham, who created a village called community first that provide small homes to several hundred of the formally homeless. Gall was relieved, the most despised outcast lost and forgotten of our community average time on the streets of nine years. Average age of death is
deny its an absolute miracle out there, and so when we were ready to start building homes, one of the first order that we reached out to was Alan Graham. So I can't reedy printed
welcome, centre and then six small houses for village residents, that's house
twenty three year old, TIM Shea, who battled heroin addiction for decades. In twenty twenty became the first person in this country to live in a three day printed home
before I saw these houses in my mind. I thought it must be cold is shaken cause. You don't think that not just the opposite, you fail embraced. You know enveloped people,
live better in the economic strategy, the men and women that we serve or going to be the last people on the planet that are going to benefit out of new technology, and he wanted to make sure that they were the first, the first person in north america,
to live in a three day printed house was homeless, nasa
the years since have seen tremendous growth for icon a new factory to build more printers and improve the quality of its concrete and facility called print land to experiment with new designs
I caught his printed small homes in rural mexico, vehicle hide structures for the marine corps. You
you barracks, for the army on air force and a dilemma
showcase home, featuring wavy walls and curves. That would be prohibitively expensive if built traditionally, but not when programmed into a three
the printer. So in your minds, is your customer a homeless person or is your customer? May there's a trick here, because what our heart wants to do is to serve. The very poor has often been confusing for people to
dancing. I thought you guys are helping homelessness. Why are you building that fancy house yeah? I would resign if I was only allowed to build luxury homes and we would go bankrupt right now. If all we build was three percent margin home
for homeless people that once this technology arrives in its full force, I think it fundamentally transforms the way we build and not just on the earth.

ever humans, living and working on the moon, but for nasa that dream is almost within reach. Their new artemus programme plans to return american astronauts to the boon for the first time and more than fifty years, this time not just to visit but eventually to stay and even use the moon as a base for exploring mars and beyond, but staying on the moon requires infrastructure, landing, pads, roads, housing and your ten exactly bring to by force and sheet rock on a spacecraft. That's where three d printing comes in nasa is partnering, with jason ballads company icon
pioneer three d printing on the move to one left off of artemus. One last fall nasa launched the first in a series of artemus missions back to the next, with crew on board is scheduled for next fall and by the end of the decade, and I can
If the printer is supposed to fly to the moon to test print part of a landing pad jason ballard, who once applied to be an astronaut but was rejected, can't wait if the schedule holds or even approximately holds the first object ever built on another world will be built with icon hardware. He wants icon to be the first company to make something
on another world, so the we marshall space flight centre in huntsville alabama now
scientists, jennifer, edmonson and corky Clinton, run a program called impact, spelled m m p. I see tee to mars planetary, autonomous construction technologies. Well,
you people at nasa. You come up with these very, very long names as well. We call the impact the key word. There is a thomas want to be able to make structures that we leave without having to be attended by
boss, if you're going to have a truly sustainable presence on the lunar surface, you have to be as earth independent as possible. Nasa was interested in three d printing. Having look
at an early version almost twenty years ago or someone they heard about the progress iconic made with their first houses in austin, corky Clinton travelled
to take a look being an engineer. I spent a lot of my time going round and looking at the size of the beads and how they went around the corners and I'll tell you. I was really impressed with what they got accomplished,
impressed enough at nasa gave icon
element, money and twenty twenty and then last fall
Fifty seven million dollar contract work into space lab leslie. This
figure out how to build on other worlds. Ballard.
Evan Jensen, who leads the project, explained the fundamental challenge: to bring an object roughly the size from earth.
HU, the moon surface would be one million dollars and think of how many sort of brick sized things we would need to do. Launchpad landing pad road habitats. So we have to learn to live off. The land have to learn
to build it there and user materials from tyranny us network, but that's
easy feet, it me
is using what's car lunar regulus, which covers the moon surface harder than concrete and water as a building material wrangle. Ass is made up of rock. That is
hum all over billions of years from asteroids comments and things. Is it like sand? It's actually finer than sand. Icon has a big
hub fully simulated moon, read a and they have invented and build a robotic system to three d print with
you're, going to build all those roads and buildings. Out of this, that is correct to the robots will, but this is actually the mission that we are scheduled to fly.
I, as he pointed out in this rendering our robotic arm
With our laser system, they ve created
all new way to three do print with lasers. Instead of
nozzles wording out soft concrete, a high intensity.
laser beam will melt the powder reregulate to transform it into a hard, strong building material. Their running exe
parents now using the laser to create a small sample red light were hot.
Here we go, we were
sean monitors, as the arm got into position. There's the laser about why things the laser? So it's melting right now, it's going up to say fifteen hundred degrees celsius and it's gonna completed second pass. You can say it emerging there, so the dark object on the screen. That's the object which
made with the laser. They can add more regular and laser again and again, to build
in layers to go as high as they want, which will be done remotely from earth. It takes hours to cool
So they showed me a sample they'd made days earlier. This is pretty darn hard. That's our lady value!
hey, I'm holding the landed pad pretty cool. It's a scientific term icon
send them to nasa where their blasted with especial plasma torch, a torch, will be about four thousand degrees to see. If they can take the heat
A landing pad would have to withstand the torture so bright. You have to work,
on a monitor deserve a few
Minutes later out. It came. Oh just a little bit warm looks good.
Me, I don't see any loss of material. I don't see any crater, it survive the test pass the test with flying colours. The next test will be operating
the entire robotic arm and laser we'll put it on the wall.
Scale simulant bed
side nasa's giant thermal vacuum chamber, which meant
the moon's, extreme, cold heat and vacuum conditions. This is sort of like a bowers idea,
to eventually send mobile three do printers to the moon. So this moves the printer around with a long,
a robotic arm sticking out of the top too
whatever is needed, and then they would
the road, and then they would build those habitat ready today and it wouldn't stop there. If we can do
we can do it on mars, and the moon is actually harder, its harder mars
almost in every way easier, except for it so far, was easier-
They agree because for one thing mars doesn't have extreme temperatures swings
still in my mind at science fiction, but in your minds it's absolutely.
palm of your hand, it's going to happen. We can see the steps and the technology to get us there. Now that's thrilling its exciting started. Quality can't go backwards in blocks
while I can says trying to three d print on the moon and mars, is helping with their work here on earth.
They are formulating new mixes to reduce the carbon footprint of their concrete, where they will be thereby end of year and there
Crying out more radical architecture, quite complex shapes and geometers, almost ripples on the surface of water patterned walls is very subtle. Look at this yet almost looks him
possible next year, as in these renderings they'll be printing round holes,
I'll rooms and marfa texas, and futuristic looking designer homes
a better monitored with a shower in a bedroom. Here, then here's some
because of the interior pride. It gets you go it doesn't it where living at a time right
where a lot of scenarios have been caught over promising hyping,
I'm thinking of Sarah knows you're absolutely right in its
a tougher thing than you know, because part of the job is to get your investors get your team and, in our case the world to believe the things you are saying
the things you are saying, don't exist. Yet you need, if you need to get them to believe. So it's hard to know.
But even in this year I actually haven't yet told you all the things I believe we're going to do.
Measuring myself giving
one example, something while I mean in the future. I think.
most buildings will be designed by. I most products will be run by software
Almost everything will be built by robots and I don't think that's that far away. I and my age find that very day.
pressing, her, I'm sure young living it alone that world
housing will be more abundant, more affordable, more beautiful. It will make this version of housing. Look depressing by example. You know that expression, if it seems too good to be true, it is, or
You know that expression, but cars and aeroplanes and moon landing seem too good to be true for a moment as well, and so like, maybe that one
