I’d like to simply know “how good is AI right now” at any given time. This information seems largely hidden. For example, can any AI expert tell me: what is the exact date when Target corporation crossed the threshold of being able to face match 20% of its customers across different stores with 20% accuracy? How about 50% (for both of the different numbers, to keep it simple). How about 80%? 90%? That’s just one example. If you’re tempted to reply with insights about face recognition, that’s not the point. The point is more that these numbers for ANY real world AI task (not just face recognition) are generally not shared, much less explained in the real world, even if would be possible to do so in an academic setting.
