The claims about the method of teaching AI's is to me is moot. With the rate technology changes we would be foolish to assume that the current method will last even a couple of years.
The bigger fear surrounding AI is our reliance and the accountability at time of a failure. Tesla's Autopilot has been around for less than a year and it feels like it is under fire on HN weekly. How much is the NSA relying on deep learning to identify "bad" behaviors? How long until drones use image analysis to identify targets and act on them in real-time?
My more immediate fear is not with AI itself, but with our implementation of it. I am not fearful of a Ex Machina-style robot on the loose. Instead, my concerns are that humans will begin to rely on machines to make decisions i don't even think humans should be allowed to make.
- inputcoffee 10y agoI agree with this point. But I think that issue is already with us. For example, algorithms are grading GMAT essays, giving out credit scores and so forth. That is more a fear of the increasing complexity and opacity of modern life. I think you are right in that that is probably the right thing to worry about AI as it actually exists. I might need a follow up article.
