Not to mention machine learning. I wonder if we get a bunch of samples from different individuals, could an AI simply just piece it all together?
- rvense 7y agoIf the information is gone, it is gone. I'm sure you could devise a "machine learning algorithm" that'll shove some random numbers in there, though.
- mc32 7y agoIt'd be like using machine learning to recreate unrecorded speeches of Marcus Aurelius or Alexander the Great word-for-word.

- lm28469 7y agoGiven how many AI/ML companies infer meaning from meaningless data the information being gone isn't an issue. /s
- overcast 7y agoMachine learning from what? Existing dinosaurs? The data is gone, what you're suggesting is that some type of AI is going to literally create life from nothing. Considering we aren't capable of autonomously driving a car down the road without killing someone, we've got a while to go before that happens.

These two problems are completely unrelated. Also, every form of transportation can result in injury or death, even walking and bike riding, so setting our goal at 0 deaths as a benchmark for success doesn't make sense.
- overcast 7y agoThis was more my commentary on attaching AI/ML to every single problem and expecting that to fix it, when we're VERY primitive in either technology.
