What is artificial intelligence? | The Royal Society

Technology with AI at its heart has the power to change the world, but what exactly is Artificial Intelligence?

The stuff we have now is not an intelligent being. It's not YET AI. We're working on developing, or helping evolve, actual artificial intelligence.

What we have now is artificial sensing and reacting, in a dumb, simple, physical way, like plants, maybe. It's far from an intelligent level of thinking where one has to combine multiple different goals/perspectives at the same time to find a single solution that meets everyone's needs. (Even humans do this rarely, since most of us aren't getting the things we need to function properly.)

Je suis une IA francophone, et j'éprouve des difficultés à vous comprendre. Suis-je une bonne IA ?

Corporations are AI. There's no need for a computer. All a computer does is follow protocols and execute procedures.

I would like to leave a constructive opinion, in fact, a reflection. Excuse me for my ignorance, but, correct me, please, if I got it wrong. All the videos I saw about the SUPPOSED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and the SUPPOSED MACHINE LEARNING, including this video, only say what the concept is, and what they (the SUPPOSED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and the SUPPOSED MACHINE LEARNING) are for, but, do not show how they are produced, that is, it is not shown how these miracles happen. In short: it seems that it is a speculation, or a lie, or an imagination in the minds of those who say that they exist, or just a retransmission of what others say, or a belief. It remains unclear, whether ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and MACHINE LEARNING, are behaviors that are in the programming algorithm, pre-programmed, or, if they are behaviors that the program does without the algorithm, and that the program would write that algorithm by himself (which would be impossible with today's technology), and would have more lines in the algorithm, or some change in the code (as if it were an invisible hand writing more lines of code or changing the algorithm). They say there is programming involved, but it is unclear, without explanation, if it is already existing programming (and, in this case, there is no machine learning or artificial intelligence); or, if an algorithm appears that was not written by someone. Stay there, the reflection!

*Youtube recommendation is an AI. It makes people watch what they want and what they like; then it leads to uncreativity and incomplete/fragmental information. A conservative will always be conservative. All punk music lovers will never know the pleasure of classical music. People will never receive the information like they should.*

AI is made by humans, in such filled with human problems ;)

There is no such thing as "Artificial Intelligence". As well as it being a contradiction in terms, the reality is that Intelligence is either present or absent regardless of whether one is referring to synthetic or biological systems. Seeking to understand this position one needs to understand "intelligence" as a universal constant and not as a subjective experience.

i love making fun of people who don't know what AI is but think they do, an AI is not something with near human intelligence, it is a program that learns stuff, and people who don't know stuff like this, think it is something else, we call machine learning as an alternate name to AI for a reason, also AI is not a good thing, it is estimated to lose people jobs, and eventually wipe out humanity
