We really need a more clear definition of what "AI" means.
What the article describes sounds like it could have been built with 10 year old image processing tools and basic algorithms crunching the large amount of sensor data used to identify potential wells.
What makes this tool AI rather than an algorithm? Or machine learning?
- acdha 2y agoComputer vision is AI, it’s just not an LLM: a computer is performing work like our brains do. Your argument is basically what Bertram Raphael was saying in the 1970s: “AI is a collective name for problems which we do not yet know how to solve properly by computer”.
- gosub100 2y agoSome CV is AI, like "identify pictures of cats", but not straightforward filters in an algorithm such as "narrow the bands of visible light to those that make existing mineshafts stand out, then scan the entire continent recording the top 20% of matches for this value (with some wiggle room to account for variants)". That is very much manual intelligence
