> We’ve run proof of concepts on stuff like traffic, and a small startup with a relationship with a university, build a route prediction thing that would make it easier to avoid jams. It worked, but it frankly didn’t work better than what our traffic department was already doing, using simple common sense. So we diverted the project to work on traffic light control for maximum flow, and it turned out that the settings our engineers had come up with were already optimal. Only our engineers had come up with the same results, using less resources.
The AI came up with the optimal solution on an "already solved problem", twice, and this is a failure on the part of the AI?
- eksemplar 8y agoIt’s a failure if it’s more expensive. It wasn’t very good at the first example though.
