We need more bias in artificial intelligence — Mario Mariniello

Food for thought as we enter the digital age.

It is difficult escaping cognitive-affective bias, perhaps impossible, but we should realize what we are facing with the development of algorithms.

Perhaps we should stop referring to algorithms as artificial intelligence.

Right!

I wrote these programs in high school...

What is an AI Algorithm? What makes the difference between a regular Algorithm and a Machine Learning Algorithm?

Machine Learning is not AI.
Expert systems are not AI.
A computer is not sentient. It is a high speed adding machine (ALU) capable of processing data into information. If we define AI as something a computer can do, then we are defining information as intelligence.

Neural pathways in the brain are not defined as intelligence. That would be an incomplete model.

AI is a marketing term, to obscure the failure of computer systems to achieve sentience.

@ Peter Pan

That I agree with.

But "AI" is also a valid distinction from the POV of distinguishing simple systems and complex adaptive systems. But calling it "intelligence" is hype.

Peter Pan said...

When a complex adaptive system exhibits sexism, it smarts (as in painful).

“ AI is a marketing term, ”

Yes!

Finally somebody (other than me) said it...

Pete, I can search on the word “diarrhea” on google then in the right column top of search it will say “the best auctions for diarrhea are at auction..com” or some bs...

“Set search term =A”
Type “the best auctions for [insert A] are at auction.com”

10th grade computer math...

I'm using Adguard.
Auction.com may believe it is logical to have their ad pop-up every time a noun is used in a search. The customer is always right ~ don't argue with your customer.
