In praise of imperfection

from Shaping Ethical AI (English version)

We spend our time hunting down error, as if it were the enemy of progress. Yet without it, no knowledge would ever emerge, no learning would stand up. Error is the quiet engine of all intelligence. The trouble starts when we confuse it with deception, and when we project onto our machines the fantasy of a perfection we have never managed to reach ourselves. Without awareness of our biases, artificial intelligence can only become a magnifying mirror of our own blind spots. This article takes a step to the side, not to condemn technology, but to recall something simple and demanding: it is not the machine that must become perfect, it is our view of our own limits that must become clearer.
