We still use electricity even though it's deadly and it accidentally kills people every year. Why not use ML even if it has it's own issues? As humans who know better we're responsible to take all the precautions.
- a3n 5y agoIt's a fair question. One difference is that electricity is not making decisions or suggestions on the fly. Another example is roads, where the design of the road allows one to turn into an opposing vehicle. The road itself is not deciding to turn your car into a semi trailer because it looks like sky, but an ML driven car has, multiple times. I don't even own a Tesla, and I resent having to participate in its beta program. ML in a car is quite different from a brake recall, or even a stuck accelerator software recall.
- rini17 5y agoIn case of electricity, the precautions are relatively simple and well known. What are the precautions with ML-powered self driving? If the precaution is "requires constant human supervision" then it's a joke.
