In this case, a rabbit and duck are approximately the same size and danger level. So few cases where there is harm possible.
What if it was AI looking at bacteria? Or scanning a roadside for IEDs? Or when a guy on a bike when turned and rotated the correct way appears to be a crosswalk paint mark of a guy on a bike?
If our current AI is making different “DEFINITE” determinations based only on image rotation - there is a problem.
- mjburgess 8y agoNot sure why you're being down-voted, this is exactly the issue. The image is both a rabbit and a duck regardless of orientation, capturing the object it depicts as a single class with a confidence measure is a mistake. The magnitude of this mistake becomes apparent when you connect it to real-world decision making, and it becomes highly unsafe. As is most of ML because it only uses statistical (rather than causal) modelling of the world -- so really, it is only offering us generalised statistical associations. It cannot cope with statistical discontinuities.
