Five antitheses to the next artificial intelligence revolution
Artificial Intelligence (AI) replaces not intelligence, but an activity that is easily automated. Because the computer will win the chess champion, but in the preference will not receive any benefits. At the same time, experienced players will quietly “read” on the beginner’s face what cards he has.
AI - can work only with what it is trained on. And this is information consisting of bits and bytes. Connecting with the outside world will always be a problem.
Driving systems behave perfectly on the road, but if you stick a sticker on the road sign, they start to make mistakes.
Parsing well perceives keywords, but does not understand parables and mistakes. (It can learn, but the addition to the program will cost more than a girl who manually checks the results of computer processing.)
Monotonous work and weak intellectual activity have long been withdrawn to countries with low wages. Therefore, the introduction of automation will not have a significant impact on the European labor market. (With the exception of "tied to a place" specialties like drivers.) ')
To call a technician from a nearby building, an employee of the corporation contacts support in Bangalore and fills in a bunch of stupid forms, although everything was solved by a short call earlier.
Robots and AI are the return of mechanical and service functions to European countries.
To adapt to the case of artificial intelligence, you must first have natural intelligence. And it is not always available.
It's one thing to learn how to distinguish cats from dogs with ninety percent probability in photos. (Even having the position of secretary of an Oxford graduate with a Ph.D.). It’s quite another to replace the secretary who handles correspondence from certain clients in a small company in a certain topic.
Moreover, the secretary herself cannot explain why in one letter she puts "Dear ladies and gentlemen," in the other - "Dear Mr. Fix," and in the third "Dear George." And why a catastrophe happens, if you do the opposite.
AI can be adapted, but too expensive to make adaptable. And this is an important competitive advantage.
After the massive introduction of multi-level menu support and voice recognition, a simple advertisement began to appear.
- If you call, the person will answer you. - And late at night? - At any time of the day or night. And even on Sunday.
