[Music] I'm sha and you're watching CNN 10 hey friends I'm Maria Taylor and you're watching CNN 10 what's up Superstars it is Tuesday February 11th I'm Coy wire welcome to CNN 10 your 10 minutes of news where I simply tell you the what letting you decide what to think as you can see I'm still here in lovely New Orleans wrapping up some super B coverage I'll be coming back to you from Studio Manana now we've got lots of news to get to today not a lot of time to do it so let's get to it we start in North Korea the reclusive State Now set to let in tourists for the first time in 5 years North Korea says the city of rasan a remote economic zone in the north of the country will be the first post-pandemic tourist destination open to Western tourists the country's capital pongyang is still close to foreign visitors North IA is a highly centralized one-party totalitarian dictatorship where three generations of the Kim family have ruled with absolute power tourism has always been a highly restricted operation within the hermit Kingdom which sealed its borders in 2020 during the covid-19 pandemic now Beijing tour operator Coro tours recently announced bookings would reopen with an organized tours to rason as part of North Korea's special economic zone rason has operated differently than other places in the country as a testing ground for New Economic policies the city pioneered the country's first mobile network and card payment system in a controlled visit to the City visitors will see locations like factories schools art galleries even a bank where they can open a North Korean bank account the First tours are set to start on February 12th around one of North Korea's biggest national holidays celebrations and parades are planned for the birthday of the country's late leader Kim Jong eel book are open to visitors from all countries except for the United States and South Korea most tourists in North Korea have been from China and Russia CNN's will Ripley gives us a look at what the visitors can expect even by North Korean standards rason is not exactly a tourism hotspot a remote economic zone closer to China and Russia than the capital [Music] pongyang rason is known for its shoe factory and banking system there's also a textile Factory and SE cucumber breeding Farm a typical workday includes outdoor exercise weather permitting in almost any other place tourists probably wouldn't be lining up for the chance to open a bank account but this is North Korea the secret state has chosen rason as its first post-pandemic destination for Western tourists allegedly will it happen next week entirely possible but but will it be delayed entirely possible I mean longtime tour operator Simon cochrell knows there are no guarantees when it comes to North Korea Simons made nearly 200 trips he says traveling there is not for everyone you're choosing a highly restrictive time in a very complicated country on a trip that your family will be worried about and some say for good reason American college student OT warer was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor accused of stealing in a propaganda poster from his pongyang hotel after 17 months in detention he returned home in a persistent vegetative state and died days later the state department has banned us tourists from visiting North Korea ever since what's the number one thing you tell people not to do when they visit North Korea don't prze religiously it's illegal don't break any law regardless of whether you agree with it or not simple as [Music] that not as simple for some anyway the question should tourists go what do you say to critics who argue people's money is basically supporting an a regime and its illegal nuclear program is not really supporting any of those things because the state of North Korea does not stand or fall on tourism Revenue if it did it would no longer exist for the past year North Korea has only allowed Russian tourists to visit soon maybe a handful of visitors from the West arriving just in time for one of North Korea's biggest holidays the late Kim Jong eel's birthday for now only a handful of Western tourists are expected to be allowed back in if this happens and we don't know if this is the beginning of a wider reopening or perhaps just an extremely Limited Test run thus putting them in such an isolated City but one thing that we are noticing is that Chinese tourists have yet to return which is interesting because you have a lot of Russian visitors but no Chinese tourists back yet since the pandemic some say that maybe a sign of beijing's growing displeasure with pyongyang's deepening ties with Moscow Pop Quiz Hot Shot artwork by which famous artist currently sits on the moon Salvador Deli Andy Warhol yayoi kusama or Vincent Van go if you said Andy Warhol way to get her done the Apollo 11 astronauts placed his drawing of the lunar module on the moon in 1969 now to a first of its kind in the art World Fine Arts Auction House Christies is holding the first Art Auction devoted entirely to dozens of pieces created with the help of artificial intelligence but while some see the auction as a next step for technology in the art World many artists in the industry who claim their work was used to train AI models without credit are calling for it to be cancelled CNN's Linda concade takes us inside Christy's New York galleries to learn more striking and thought provoking It's Not Unusual for art to be critiqued pondered and sold to the highest bidder but in upcoming auction of Christi's New York is pushing the boundaries of the art World featuring only works created with artificial intelligence the art sale called augmented intelligence consists of about 30 pieces that have been created or enhanced using AI tools which Christie says is a sign of the times so AI are is such an interesting topic and an interesting category now um it's it's really been surging in demand uh we have clients that are interested from the blockchain and crypto Community but we also have a lot of we've also seen a lot of demand from more High Networth individuals in the Tech Community according to christe's many of the works are expected to sell for tens of thousands of dollars of Peace last year a painting by an AI robot of World War II codebreaker Alan Turing sold for over a million at salab bees surpassing initial estimates of$ 120 to $180,000 that's a lot of money and potential interest in a medium where there are still many questions over what role AI should have in art Christie says its auction will feature many top AI artists some who describe their work as a collaboration with AI but not driven by it is definitely not a substitute for agency and it is not a way to create more mediocre art quicker it is a way to enhance what the artist can do and even push the B the boundaries of Art and creativity into a completely new dimension it's cuttingedge creativity in the spotlight
