AI is not a panacea, so what can AI do and can't do?
Strong artificial intelligence and super artificial intelligence may appear one day, when a versatile AI might be possible.
What can AI do?
in"人工智能In the book, Li Kaifu’s "5 Second Principle" can summarize some of the AI's current capabilities:
If a person can make a corresponding decision on the question that needs to be considered and decided at work in 5 seconds, then this work has a very large possibility that AI will be replaced in whole or in part.
In addition to the 5 second principle, AI can do a lot of things that humans can't do!
Currently in the weak artificial intelligence stage, the mainstream practice isGive the machine a lot of data and let the machine learn a certain "skill." When you learn the skills, the machine can use this "skill" to accomplish a specific task..
such as:
- AlphaGo is "learning" a lot of Go data and learning how to play Go
- FaceID is to use a lot of face images to learn how to distinguish different faces.
- Tesla used the driving data of a large number of users to learn how to drive.
- ……
What can AI do?
same with"人工智能The book summarizes some of the things that AI can't do at the moment:
- Cross-domain reasoning ability (programs will write C, learning JAVA is very fast! But AI can't)
- Abstract abilities (such as Picasso's paintings are highly abstract works)
- Ability to explain the reasons behind it (knowing it, knowing why)
- Common sense (AI will not tell you: "Wind, rain, clothes")
- Self-awareness (AI will not ask itself: Who am I? Why am I alive? Where am I going?)
- Aesthetic (AI can't tell you that this song is good, that song is not good...)
- Emotions (AI will not be tempered to strike)
