AI is just as biased as the data that's put into them and that data originates from humans who have their own biases so humans are just going to pass their own biases onto the AI that makes the decisions
I don't think ai is a good idea
It just exists as a replacement of the human mind and with the whole population of us on earth that's a large enough number to contribute any unique ideas to contribute to humanity
Creating ai would just be making some sort of copy of us
An AI is similar to an impressionable child
Bias is a problem, but it can be ameliorated. I don't agree that because AI can be biased, you should never use it.
I don't know any humans who can munge a ginormous data set like an AI can.
However, reproducing human intelligence in a computer would be interesting in its own right.
I would not try to replicate that knowing humanity it would probably view us as a threat
No humans cannot but we use tools made by us to do that
Why are you assuming there will be bias in the data, and that the AI couldn't be made to correct for it? Most of the data for systems like medical AI are basically raw data, and it's already better than humans at making an accurate diagnoses.
I'm not sure why people seem to think humans are better than a system that can parse trillions of data points in a few seconds and apply a bunch of statistical models to it almost instantly.
I wouldn't trust ai with medical data and neither would medical professionals since your dealong woth someone's life here to either medical professionals are going to modify the data
That's just pre-programmed pattern recognition which has been programmed by rules and data from humans
