What Kind of Buble is AI? Item Info

Title:
What Kind of Buble is AI?
Creator:
Doctorow, C.
Date Created:

Description:
In this article, Doctorow points out that while AI is good for low-stakes, fault-tolerant tasks, the money is in high-stakes, fault-intolerant tasks, which means that most of the things AI is marketed towards will be made worse (or more expensive, or both) through the addition of AI. I think this is a helpful way to think about how we use AI. Is this task fault-tolerant? Or is it easy to check for faults in the AI-work? If not, we probably shouldn't be using AI to do it. No matter whether AI is a bubble or not, this article gives a helpful way to test AI applications.
