Episode 189 - Thoughts On The Human - Ness Of AI
from The Natural Curiosity Project · host Dr. Steven Shepard
I’ve spent the bulk of my career in the hallways of technology, and while I admire it, and it often generates wonder, I’ve also been around it long enough to have developed healthy skepticism about elements of it, when that skepticism is important. One such area is AI, or artificial intelligence. I believe that it’s a critically important technological advancement, but intelligence? Not so much. And while the position I’m about to take is controversial, my belief is that an AI can be taught, but it doesn’t really learn—at least, not in the human sense. And therein lies the challenge. Have a listen.
