Re: Goal for AI is Automation
Taking out the human element altogether seems like a recipe for disaster. Imagine the episode of I love Lucy with the Chocolates on the conveyor belt only without a human to know something is going wrong.

Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
Y2K forced all to be read--that's why we survived it. By not having the debate now, we are kidding ourselves by thinking that somehow everything is going to be OK. We owe it to the future.

Re: AT&T's Gilbert: The Goal of AI is Automation
@afwriter I know. Terminator is a terrific example of what can go awry when computers start learning about AI themselves. But it's just a movie. May I point to my favorite SciFi flick? Soylent Green. There's an example of paranoia to the max. Although I have to say, people seem to be disappearing in my community lately.

Re: One "Humble "Suggestion....
@mpourayan My sister happens to think that AI is the biggest threat since the nuclear bomb. And she is quite intelligent. You're correct. Without a discussion, nothing will be done about it, whether the threat exists or not. AT&T makes AI seem so benign, but isn't that the same company that created the robot that won on Jeopardy?

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.

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.

@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.

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