‘’so you hear people complain these days

that everything is becoming automated

the robots are stealing our jobs

AI is coming

The Terminator scenario’’

what artificial intelligence ultimately comes down to

what outsourcing our cognition into the machines is really all about

it's about amplifying the most powerful phenomenon in the universe which is
intelligence

The world is going to feel like an extension of our mindedness.

"When everything becomes linked with everything else,"

"matter becomes mind."

Everything's being tracked. We have metrics for everything. We're extending sensors into
everything. And all of a sudden creating an influx of data. So everything's tracked online.
Now everything is tracked in our body: face ID, finger prints, biometric data.

We live in a world in which human beings have been reduced-- have been turned into
algorithmic cascades of data. And most people are terrified of this notion, of infinite
tracking.

“Things like managing people, they include things like creativity, they include things

like decision-making or judgment.

And caring work that requires empathy or human interaction, with an emotional content to

associate with it.

Those are much harder things to automate.”

A deep neural network watched 5000 hours of BBC news with captions and now it can read
lips  better than human professionals.

And machine learning algorithms trained on images of tumors can predict lung cancer
survival

better than human pathologists.

The mistake is to assume that these focused applications can add up to

a more general intelligence.

Or that they learn like we do, which is simply not the case.

When they get the right answer it’s tempting to assume they understand what they see.

Only when they make a mistake do we get a glimpse at how different their process is

from our own.

It’s pattern recognition masquerading as understanding.

That’s why researchers can easily trick a learning algorithm into mislabeling a picture.

But there’s no clear path toward a more human-like intelligence which includes common

sense, curiosity, and abstract reasoning.

“I think AI is as good as the content that

goes through it.

So you can’t really expect AI to do magic which some people expect it to do.”
