AI: A CONVERSATION
ABOUT THE #TRUTH 💎#People keep talking about Artificial Intelligence as though one enormous mind is slowly waking up inside the machinery.
It is not.
There is no single intelligence sitting behind your #screen.
No central #being.
No #secret mechanical person gradually becoming conscious of itself and preparing to take over the #world.
There are many different #systems, built by different companies, trained for different purposes, using different methods, rules, #data and machinery.
They do not all know what the others know.
They do not #share one #memory.
They do not have one intention.
They are tools that can perform particular kinds of #mental work extraordinarily well.
That is remarkable enough.
We do not need to turn it into a new god.
The phrase “artificial intelligence” may be part of the #problem.
It encourages us to imagine a complete intelligence, like a #human mind, only artificial.
But what we actually have is a growing collection of machines that can recognise patterns, generate language, analyse information, create images, write #software and solve certain problems.
Some do these things brilliantly.
Some do them badly.
Most have no idea what they are doing in the human sense of the word “idea.”
They are not an emerging #species.
They are not one vast mind.
They are not secretly plotting together after we go to #bed.
They are #powerful human-made systems.
And the real questions remain human questions.
#Who builds them?
Who owns them?
What are they used for?
Who benefits?
Who is harmed?
Who remains responsible?
AI is already extraordinary.
There is no need to make it #supernatural.
