RE: AI Deep learning... what it comes down to!
Dear @doifeellucky
Sorry for such a late comment. I only had a chance to read your post a moment ago.
Would you mind sharing with me, where does your interests towards AI comes from? Is it somehow related to your work or passions?
beginning in the early 1950ties the optimism that went along with this died down a little by recurring failures over the following decades.
I wonder how many people were and are actually optimistic about this technology. And how many are actually scared and feeling uneasy.
I'm representing second category (mostly because of lack of regulations, which are so very necessary).
But our voice recognition example here, when looked at closely, shows quite some deep complexity and many challenges to get this right.
Indeed. Still long way ahead of us. Also I'm not sure if I would ever feel comfortable using tool build either by facebook or google. I really don't think I want to come near any of those products.
Upvoted already,
Yours, Piotr
Hello Piotr,
yes, all the progress in AI that has become more visible in the last decade still shows more clearly what we can do very good and efficient as of now and how much more is still to do when it comes to the manipulation of the physical world like object handling and so on or other specific fields like voice recognition and other pattern recognition problems.
I would see myself between the two categories of people you've mentioned in regard to AI's possibilities and dangers. I can clearly see the huge advantages these technologies bring to a whole host of problems which some of are already nicely addressed and handled, for instance X-Ray diagnosis or precise fire control solutions as another example just to show some of the dilemma with this with some contrast! ;-)
So, I'm not so sure if international or multi national regulations can get a grip on tech that evolves so fast that even people that are working in this space have a hard time to keep up with. How much harder is it to manage this bag of flies with the also natural slowness of over regional politics, laws, diplomacy and bureaucracy?
I guess for now, we don't have other options than to try to raise awareness for the big risks that come with this technological quantum leap to get the general public more involved into this so they can get involved in the much needed discussions and problem solutions.
I also agree with being cautious about using some readily available tech if there is no transparency and openness that should go along with such toolboxes like in many open source projects Open AI being a good/positive example in this regard for instance.
My interest in AI first started to flare up a first time back in the 80ties while I started my journey into information technology back in the 80ties. But more on a "Philip K. Dick" fan boy level while I was struggling to learn to code assembler and fortran! Hahaha!
In my day jobs I had little contact points with the AI space but I tried to keep informed and did some deep dives into special AI niches like for instance voice recognition/pattern recognition.
This changed a little in the past 5 years as it became obvious that a rising number of AI driven/AI related threats will play a rather significant role in the infosec arena.
Beyond this I clearly see, as stated before, the urgent need to get more people into AI related discussions starting with morals and ethics, defense tech, privacy and a lot more.
Cheers!
