Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
@Mike that just made me think; Why stop at self-driving cars? Could we see self-driving Tractors or similar farm equipment in the future when networks can support it?

I have a friend that is so scared by AI that she gets noticeably jittery when people bring it up.

Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
I think you missed my point--yes there were concerns when Lotus 123 first came out--but Accoutants did not wither away--did they?   We need to adapt and improvise--as I leave you all also on a side note with this and wish all of you throughout TT a great w-end and a great Sept!!

Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
I can see self driving cars in urban areas, but I think we're a long ways away from seeing them in rural areas that barely have good broadband now.

@elizabethv Yes, the programming for self-driving cars needs to operate on AI.

Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
@mpouraryan - Were there really concerns that we might not survive spreadsheets? An inherent mistrust of computers makes sense. But spreadsheets? I guess it's possible. There was also the whole Y2K thing too.

Re: Goal for AI is Automation
@afwriter - that's a really good analogy. Though, maybe a robot can test the chemical make up of candy, to ensure it's accurate. And when they envitably are made incorrectly, it isn't a robot, no matter how sophisticated the machines might be. Sometimes, a human is just necessary.

Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
@Ariella - I would think that would be something Elon Musk would need, with Tesla cars. Given that you can't really predict every possible variable one might see on the road, but you can predict generic situations, whose reactions required would be the same. So self-automation that can react in a way it is programmed to, to circumstances that are new, only makes sense.

No..that was IBM's Watson.    Tell her this;  We survived Spreadsheets--we will survive AI.

Re: AT&T's Gilbert: The Goal of AI is Automation
<You're probably right, but I have seen way too many SciFi movies not to be cautious. On a side note, I have seen way too many shark movies to go in the ocean as well. >

LOL @afwriter. You notice how scientist persist in doing exactly the things that sci-fi movies show end in disaster like this: http://www.businessinsider.com/peter-thiel-funded-de-extinction-animal-resurrection-woolly-mammoth-2017-6 As for shark attacks, you must have seen the stats on that, including the greater odds of being killed by a domestic animal. Here's a fun take on the topic: https://thefisheriesblog.com/2015/04/27/shark-attack/
