Understand why Elon Musk fears AI
This book "Problems with AI" discusses the Problems with AI in an insightful way and does not require the reader to have a strong hold on Machine Learning concepts. This will give you a strong idea of issues with Machine Learning and link them with Machine Learning concepts so that you can think independently.
In fact, this book is a perfect fit for anyone who have discussions on AI among friends. Rise above your peers and excel.
This is a perfect and must read if: -You want to understand why leaders like Elon Musk have fears regarding AI as a potential extinction reason for humans.-You want to understand the nature of problems and think about these independently in your free time.-You want to participate in debates or friend groups discussing Artificial Intelligence (AI topics).-You want to be a Philosopher of our Future with AI
Let us take some examples so that you can visualize the nature of problems before we get into insightful discussions:
-Mobbing the floor will be an easy task for a robot but doing so on an electric surface can be dangerous. Does the robot identify potential threats in such a simple task? Is experimentation viable?-A cleaning robot might be rewarded based on how many places it cleans, but this gets hacked: the robot may think the office is clean if it simply closes its eyes-A robot working in a factory should be more robust than a robot working in an office.-A cleaning robot's success in cleaning up the office is proportional to the rate of cleaning supplies consumption. However, if we base the robot's reward on this, it might use more supplies than required for success.-If a robot needs to learn about a lion, should it buy a lion as a pet or study information resources on lions?These are some of the problems which are challenging even today.
Such problems come up in ancient stories. For example: Barbereek who is considered to be an AI robot, was identified to have a flaw and was turned off before a battle. The story is captured in Mahabharata, a major Sanskrit epic of ancient India and will be an interesting read for those who link AI technology to ancient civilizations/ mythical texts.
The use of Artificial Intelligence is more widespread even today. Read this book and save humanity.
