For #wisdomwendesdays I’ll be helping shed some light on the fears that have been brought about by the coming of Artificial Intelligence.
Though I’ve mentioned in one of my previous articles that:
“Though we all know that technology is continuously improving. But we shouldn’t put all our trust in it just yet. Yes, Google’s AI has nearly twice the IQ of Siri, but a 6-year-old child is still smarter than both. And even if it does improve further, 75% if customers, like you, still say that they would want to interact with a real person more as technology improves. child.”
I’d still like to talk about this a bit more, especially on why AI is still considered “Primitive.”
There’s another article from the IEM Community that talks about this in detail, which I think is worth a read, because I completely agree and share the same sentiments.
As for my view, I believe that Artificial Intelligence tools are like the technological equivalent of Savants – they’re good at one thing, but suck at everything else.
Let me give you a couple of specific examples.
The Lego Sorting AI Machine that I’ve shared previously has been trained to sort Lego Bricks, but if you give it other types of tasks such as sorting different types of recyclable materials, or tools in a workshop, it won’t really be able to understand what to do.
Another example is the AI used to predict Heart Attacks a year before it happens. While we all know that health is wealth, you can’t expect the same tool to predict stock market trends to make you financially wealthy.
So in a nutshell, Artificial Intelligence tools are like the Savants of the tech world. They are better than humans at certain tasks, but they are far from becoming super intelligent beings capable of replacing humanity.
If anything, Artificial Intelligence will be tools that humans use to enhance our own abilities, to allow us to be more productive, and help us achieve greater things.
Ending note
I hope you learned something new today.
If you want to learn how to do these things, and you think a career in Artificial Intelligence is for you, even if you’re just a beginner, I would recommend you check out the IBM Applied AI Professional course, which you can check further for details.
