We can eventually make AI do any of that better than a human by a long shot.
We tend to overestimate the power of the human brain. There is a lot we don’t know yet, but we shouldn’t treat it as magic and unsolvable by AI.
- panta 6y agoThere is no evidence that AI can reach the level of skill and safety of a human driver. I’m not saying that it’s not possible, only there is no reason to be sure of the contrary. IMHO we are extremely far.
- mcot2 6y agoAnd IMHO we are extremely close. There is lots of evidence that AI can be much _better_ than a human driver, although currently on things like well mapped highway driving with clear conditions. Whats going on now is just making that general purpose for all different types of enviornments.
- mcguire 6y agoOut of curiosity, do you have a specific source for, "There is lots of evidence that AI can be much _better_ than a human driver, although currently on things like well mapped highway driving with clear conditions." The only thing I know about is claims from Tesla, comparing Autopilot (in "well mapped highway driving with clear conditions") versus general human drivers (and which, as I recall, had some further sketchiness).
- glandium 6y ago> well mapped highway driving with clear conditions and perfectly visible unambiguous markings. The bar is rather low.

- kaba0 6y agoThey can easily surpass humans in really specified problems like looking at millions of cells and identifying which is likely cancerous. Today’s AIs are pretty bad at complex problems where each subproblem would require a specific AI and then some logical thinking on top measuring each results’ to each other. And driving in non-trivial circumstances is definitely in the latter category
