Tech expert reveals what AI is.
VP Harris was recently asked to expound on the subject of artificial intelligence. This is what she said.
Quote:
"I think the first part of this issue that should be articulated is AI is kind of a fancy thing," Harris said during the roundtable at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. "First of all it's two letters. It means artificial intelligence, but ultimately what it is, is it's about machine learning."
"And so, the machine is taught – and part of the issue here is what information is going into the machine that will then determine – and we can predict then, if we think about what information is going in, what then will be produced in terms of decisions and opinions that may be made through that process."
"So to reduce it down to its most simple point, this is part of the issue that we have here is thinking about what is going into a decision, and then whether that decision is actually legitimate and reflective of the needs and the life experiences of all the people."
Oh. I see. It's kind of a "fancy thing". Thank you for clearing that up. It's a good thing she was able to "reduce it down to its most simple point," in the final paragraph. Reducing those "fancy things" down in such a manner is frequently quite difficult.
