More Thoughts On AI

So having now been part of a keynote panel discussion on AI Ethics, which I found quite interesting and thought-provoking (and I hope I widened some perspectives among attendees) I’d like to put forward and amplify a few points I’ve made in the past.

There are a lot of people predicting “the end of humanity” with AI. Meh.

There is a fundamental misunderstanding in how a brain works and how a computer works: They do not map on top of one another, and the latter is likely to be unable to map to the former.

Contemplate this next time you’re in your car driving.

Look at the vehicle in front of you and read its license plate. Easy, right? Now, without moving your head or eyes, read the license plate or even the make and model of the vehicle on the left or right. You can’t.
