After a year of testing various AI chatbots in a 'fight club,' the author finds that no single AI excels at all tasks; different tools are better suited for specific jobs, and human judgment remains crucial in evaluating their usefulness and limitations.
The article argues that as AI surpasses human capabilities in reasoning and decision-making, the true challenge shifts from AI's intelligence to human responsibility and accountability, emphasizing the importance of remaining cognitively present and vigilant to ensure ethical and responsible use of AI systems.
Artificial intelligence (AI) programmed based on rules alone, with no human nuance, is much harsher than when it's based on human responses, according to a study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The study found that if a descriptive model is used to decide whether a person may re-offend, it may cast more severe judgments than a person and hand out higher bail amounts or longer criminal sentences. The experts have called for greater data transparency, stating if researchers know how data is gathered then they can figure out how it can be used.
