Human stupidity: the greatest enemy of artificial intelligence

There is a huge ambiguity in the goals of artificial intelligence or AI) and machine learning that are used today by large corporations that wish to create an artificial intelligence that could perhaps match or even exceed the capabilities of the human mind.

As they develop, artificial intelligence or AI and mechanical learning or machine learning will be able to undertake even more complex tasks, but it may take half a century or more before each AI reaches the human level of intelligence at satisfactory levels. We have only seen it in movies of destruction, but it is certain that over-intelligence seems to excite some, and terrorize others. Meanwhile, new technology has continued to fuel scientific imagination for decades (see Skynet).artificial intelligence

Currently, artificial intelligence (AI) helps companies improve customer service or perfect their decision making by identifying trends in data that would otherwise be invisible. AI helps with automating common tasks, or even creating completely new services.

From the above it follows that every AI technology should consider several issues:

Artificial intelligence is a rapidly growing and interesting technology but it is not the answer to every problem. In particular, pay attention to the prefix "AI" in future product names because it does not necessarily mean that it is better than someone else who does not contain the prefix.

In addition, the lack of skilled staff who can make the most of their technology, along with massive inflated expectations, could create a loss of confidence.

But perhaps the most dangerous thing is to treat each AI as magical. An algorithm is as good as the data or rules that people are giving it to programmers. The nature of the algorithms that can be learned and evolved without the developers will be slow to come again, this does not mean that their answers will be accepted without any doubt.

Instead, ways will have to be found to make sure that AI decision-making is constantly challenged. Questioning is the beginning of every science and every scientific discovery. So some consider the use of many factors, such as accountability, explanation, accuracy, auditability, and fairness. As you can see because the concepts themselves are abstract and not governed by specific laws it takes a lot of work.

It is also important to look at the impact of artificial intelligence on its broadest meaning:

These technologies will have the potential to significantly change some jobs, create some and destroy others. The developers of this technology and its users should consider and recognize the potential positive and negative consequences. AI-powered autonomous vehicles can, for example, reduce pollution and do the a more fun – but it will also throw many drivers out of the job market. So we should understand more broadly and more discussions about the upcoming changes will follow.

As can be seen and machine learning is not something we need to worry about. Our concern should be focused on human intelligence and our own ability to learn and predict the future.
