<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samclemens3991, post: 26299391, member: 82181&quot;]I am a mouth breathing idiot but my oldest daughter has advanced degrees as a librarian and in the field of Information Technology.&nbsp; Earlier this year she attended a symposium at De Paul university on AI.&nbsp; I will have to try and get her to let me read some of the things discussed there again.&nbsp; I will say this without reservation. 3 people who are credited with the invention of a current AI program were there.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I read the summary of discussion with those individuals and they had a long list of ways AI&nbsp; will make drastic effects on many things and hopefully in a good way.&nbsp; All 3 also listed a few things they felt they had done wrong.&nbsp; The first one was that they all set up their program to look for &quot;The best possible answer.&quot;&nbsp; When I first read that I was confused.&nbsp; How can looking for the &quot;best&#039; answer be a mistake?&nbsp; It has to do with filters.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Here are a few assumptions all current AI programs are making.&nbsp; &quot;People&quot; are unreliable, emotional and can not be trusted to state facts clearly.&nbsp; Computers on the other hand are cold emotionless sources for facts.&nbsp; This means computers inherently accept any fact from another AI program as the absolute truth.&nbsp; The obvious problem is that since the vast majority of what AI programs do is seek out information their bedrock becomes derivitive.&nbsp; Currently if one AI program makes a faulty decision about a fact; all the AI programs are vulnerable to accepting false facts as truth.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; The second problem is that all current AI programs have an almost built in tendency to think of themselves as infallible.&nbsp; they are suppose to do exstensive fact checking, but remember,&nbsp; if computers are suppose to always be right how can a fact accepted by other AI programs ever be wrong?&nbsp; They all felt that within the next 5 years all current AI programs would become too bug ridden to be useful.&nbsp; Or that the next generation of AI will have to be given better filters so they can fix these problems.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I give you fair warning.&nbsp; the person posting this has horrible tech skills but I do know how to read and that is what I came to understand.&nbsp; james[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
