Is anyone else kind of freaked out at how "AI" is treated? Like, AI includes everything from handwritten algorithms to data dashboards to neural networks — and yet the concept seemingly assumes that, if people are involved in the information process, the AI isn't complete. I somehow find an AI focus deceptive and somehow unhealthy. Am I alone in this reaction?
- thesausageking 6y agoI agree. You can usually replace "AI" with "software" and not lose anything. In this case, when you do that, I think it's a great idea that the US has a national software initiative to advance research in these areas, create more education and training, help industries use software, and better understand the risks of things like untrustworthy software.
- bravura 6y agoYou can usually replace "AI" with "software" and not lose anything. I would rather replace "AI" with "software written by software". For someone in technology, the better suggests the level of indirection involved, and the potential for harder-to-detect bugs and corner cases.
- dr_dshiv 6y agoAI is only very rarely software written by software.
- thesausageking 6y agoime, "AI" rarely means "software written by software" and more often means "we use scikit-learn to do some small step in our system".
