hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. google is 25. the search engine — founded in 1998 by two students at stamford university has grown into a tech monolith now worth more than $1.6 trillion. it's fairly obvious it's changed our lives, but what will the next 25 years look like? and will google be a major part of it?

in the past decade, ten us states have given parents an option on school choice. if they choose to they can opt to send their children to private schools and in return they will get some tax relief to help offset those fees. that gives countless families says jo, particularly those who live in inner cities with underperforming schools — the chance to attend a private school. makes it more affordable. but this side of the pond, the opposition wants to go the other way. labour say they will add vat to private school fees and won't strip schools of their charitable status, which would deny them the 80% relief they got on business rates. that change say labour would generate up to £1.5 billion in additional revenue. the daily mail says today that will unfairly punish the smaller

independent schools. good one for this for one panel. joe supports it. and since leaving parliamentjustine has campaigned for social mobility, equality of opportunity. so lets see how they view this. why is offering parents a choice in a tax break a good idea? is an a tax break a good idea? is an amazin: a tax break a good idea? is an amazing trend. _ a tax break a good idea? is an amazing trend. just _ a tax break a good idea? is an amazing trend. just two - a tax break a good idea? is an amazing trend. just two years | a tax break a good idea? is an amazing trend. just two years ago there were no states that adopted a state—wide school of choice program. now we have ten in texas is about to be number 11. it's clearly a trend in that direction, which is the idea to give parents choice and to implement some competition in the education system. the public schools have had basically a monopoly over the system because the public school unions are very powerful in this country. they give money to politicians, politicians in exchange protect the public school system. and what that means is parents are forced if they want to select schools that have different academic priorities or smaller class sizes or

different sports option to pay out—of—pocket they basically double pat’- out—of—pocket they basically double pay. the funding the public schools than they are paying out of pocket for private schools are not getting any so at least the ten states that have adopted this are providing parent some choice to pick these schools, not that the force to go to but that are best for their children. iii but that are best for their children-— but that are best for their children. ,, ., , ., ., children. if you give tax breaks to wealthier families _ children. if you give tax breaks to wealthier families you _ wealthier families you disproportionately want to send their children to schools don't you deprive public schools at the funding that they need to raise their standards?— funding that they need to raise their standards? several of these states have _ their standards? several of these states have means _ their standards? several of these states have means tested - their standards? several of these | states have means tested voucher systems. the more money you make the last benefit you're going to get from this program. which means that it benefits those who make the least amount of money and therefore had the least amount of choice under the current system. it also provides options for inner—city school children who lets face it, a lot of inner—city schools performing horribly right now in america. the idea to give parent some ability to

send their children to charter schools or catholic schools or some other private schools i think is a fantastic opportunity to broaden their engagement, broaden their chances to go to university and really give them opportunities they don't currently have. it’s don't currently have. it's interesting _ don't currently have. it's interesting because - don't currently have. it's interesting because on this side of the argument is that if you split the argument is that if you split the system, you have private and state schools you don't focus on the state schools you don't focus on the state schools you don't focus on the state schools because all the wealth and entitlement is going to the richer schools. and there is a huge debate about if you just have the same level across the board then all votes would be lifted. you don't think that's the way to go? i get it. think that's the way to go? i get it- there's _ think that's the way to go? i get it. there's certainly _ think that's the way to go? i get it. there's certainly a _ think that's the way to go? i get it. there's certainly a trade—off. you don't get a benefit without some kind of detriment. yes, public schools will have to adjust with less money, possibly fewer teachers. let's face it, i think competition is a good thing. if you have different restaurants you are not forced to go to the same restaurant, you have the option to go to

whichever restaurant you choose. if a restaurant is not good it goes out of business. in the public school system that is propped up by the tax system, a bad public schooljust goes on in existence without any ramifications. i think this injects a different level of competition into the system we have not seen before in this country. the fact that there's a ten out of 50 states doing it so let's give it ten years. we will see in fact if those benefits originate, do and for the system and if it's bad maybe we rethink it. , , ., , ., system and if it's bad maybe we rethink it. , ., ,, , , rethink it. justin, do you support labourers plan — rethink it. justin, do you support labourers plan to _ rethink it. justin, do you support labourers plan to raise _ rethink it. justin, do you support labourers plan to raise money i rethink it. justin, do you support i labourers plan to raise money from vat on parents on fees they pay to private schools? and will that one point whatever billy and it is, 1.6, goes into state schools, would help? i think giving all the pressures that state schools are under it is hard _ that state schools are under it is hard to — that state schools are under it is hard to justify giving additional tax breaks to children and parents who are _

users for their curiosity. the search engine was first launched on the 27th september 1998 in california. the platform now hosts 8.5 billion searches every day — that's 99,000 every second. in fact can you imagine your life without it? without gmail, google maps, a search engine, its changed every facet of our lives. it is pretty hard to assess what google will look like in 2048, because our tech, changes so fast. let me give you an idea of just how fast. so these day measure how succesful a product is, by how long it takes to get to 100 million users. so the wide uptake of mobile phone took 16 years. it took 7 years for 100 million users to start using the web 4.5 years for that sized uptake of facebook, 2 years for instagram, tiktokjust 9 months, which is scary cos it took me 9 years. and chat gpt: 2 months. two months for 100 million users

to be signed up to ai. we can now speak to priya lahkani obe who's a founder and ceo of artificial intelligence company century tech as well as being a regular tech commentator on various broadcast outlets. we're going have a lot more because we can have a special every week. she will take part on that. let's talk about google at 25. what do we do before google. 17 talk about google at 25. what do we do before google.— do before google. ? books, right. it's 'ust do before google. ? books, right. it's just made _ do before google. ? books, right. it'sjust made everything - do before google. ? books, right. it'sjust made everything faster i do before google. ? books, right. l it'sjust made everything faster and it's just made everything faster and more convenient. it started off as a startup in their bedrooms and you getting at the wrong impression from that. it's not what it sounds like. let's not go there. different time zones around the world. if they built a search engine and the goal was to make all the information on the wedge useful and accessible. and if you think about where we went forward to where were we before, you

have to go to a library if that was accessible to you, you be buying books of euclid. their vision was what they called a relentless search for better answers. it's led the company from that search engine that was starting up in their bedrooms to driverless cars and speeding up drug discovery. it's been incredibly impactful in so many ways. happy birthday to _ impactful in so many ways. happy birthday to them. i'm _ impactful in so many ways. happy birthday to them. i'm glad - impactful in so many ways. happy birthday to them. i'm glad you i birthday to them. i'm glad you picked up on the way we search for information. on google providers put out information in such a way that it catches our attention. it may not be what we were originally looking for. as a result the way we react with information these days is more disjointed perhaps it would've been for our ancestors. disjointed perhaps it would've been for ourancestors. is disjointed perhaps it would've been for our ancestors.— for our ancestors. is that fair? i think that _ for our ancestors. is that fair? i think that slightly _ for our ancestors. is that fair? i think that slightly unfair - for our ancestors. is that fair? i think that slightly unfair for i think that slightly unfair for google. if we think about the search engine, that's about trying to give you precisely what you were looking for. the algorithms and they train

these models, they use special intelligence, we have to try to understand from the word you're typing and if you misspell the sentence that they figure out what you actually mean to spell, we looking for for them and the success for google, it so successful at doing that. what you're describing there is fair to say from persuasive technologies on and social maybe your sites. where you might be clicking on various links and then it will constantly try and try and suggest and recommend other links to you because of what you like before. you can end up in this sort of title. ~ �* you can end up in this sort of title. ~ ~ . ., you can end up in this sort of title. ~ ~ . . ., you can end up in this sort of title. . ~ . ., ., . title. will ai change that? will that refine _ title. will ai change that? will that refine how— title. will ai change that? will that refine how research i title. will ai change that? will that refine how research and l title. will ai change that? will. that refine how research and also what is applicable to us as an individual?— what is applicable to us as an individual? ., ~ , , , individual? one of the key benefits of ai and sometimes _ individual? one of the key benefits of ai and sometimes one _ individual? one of the key benefits of ai and sometimes one of - individual? one of the key benefits of ai and sometimes one of the i individual? one of the key benefits i of ai and sometimes one of the risks as it is good to change that and make it even better for as it is good to change that and make it even betterfor them is get a personalise for you. the whole idea is how can it predict what you want to search for, body, what do you want to save in terms of

investments and how can it serve you with that sooner rather than later without too much searching. the point of machine learning is to help you do that, give you convenience. for google it's been in an interesting company because it started off in search but is using ai for impactful areas very different to the for example if you look at also sold, the technology with a built—in ai system to be able to predict protein 3d structure for amino acids sequence. they've given thought to every scientist in the world who are now saving months if not years developing drugs to save us from all sort of diseases. they're using for a flood hub platform to forecast river floods to help people. platform to forecast river floods to help peeple-_ platform to forecast river floods to help peeple-— platform to forecast river floods to hel neale, �* , ., ., �* help people. absolutely amazing. all ofthe help people. absolutely amazing. all of the technology, _ help people. absolutely amazing. all of the technology, they've _ help people. absolutely amazing. all of the technology, they've been i of the technology, they've been incredibly impactful. it doesn't come without its controversies. there we're. one of the things were

at a skills challenge. you go day—to—day doing yourjob to the best that you can. but to compete against other people that you would presume are better than yourself — to actually go compete and beat them people, it's nice to know that you're good at what you're doing day—to—day. so the inspection one that i did was inspecting a vehicle, picking up faults with it. are they ok, are they not? and then, categorising it to the inspection manual, and the marking down what failure that would be in the category. but there's other tests — stripping down engines, tyres, and all sorts of air valves and braking systems. harry's gone from being an apprentice to helping train new ones. trent barton has upped its investment this year, and has taken on more than double the usual amount of apprentices. it's nice to make a difference, and ifeel like the position i'm in, i can make a difference. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. in the uk, tv channel gb news has suspended two of its main
