0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:19.6 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcot.co.j.j.p. That's y-A-K-U-L-T-C-O-J-P. |
0:28.4 | When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacol. |
0:33.7 | This is Scientific American's 60-second science. I'm Christopher in Taliatta. |
0:38.3 | Think killer robots. What comes to mind? Maybe this guy? |
0:43.3 | I'll be back. |
0:44.3 | We are not talking about Terminator. We're talking about much simpler technologies that are best a few years away. |

1:17.6 | what constitutes a target and then applying lethal force to that without supervision or meaningful human |
1:25.1 | control. Another speaker, Peter Asero, co-founder of the International Committee for Robot Arms |
1:30.3 | Control, has participated in UN talks on autonomous weapons. |
1:34.5 | So what we've really been lobbying is not a sort of complete ban on some specific technical |
1:40.8 | capability, but a more general requirement that all weapons systems should have meaningful |
1:46.7 | human control over the targeting and engagement of those weapons systems. |
