Read on Twitter
Motivated by what I see as misleading articles in coverage in the media, I will post a number of threads in the next several days on “AI myths” — ideas or claims about AI that should be questioned more. A couple of explanations would be useful to put these into context.
First, by “myths” I do not necessarily mean that the statements I will focus on are necessarily incorrect. I claim that they are accepted without sufficient evidence and they need to be questioned more, because they are having an oversized effect on public perceptions.
Second, I am not an AI researcher and some of the issues I raise will be in the hope of generating more questioning. Better ideas, correctives and further reactions are welcome.
Some of these ideas build on my book #PowerAndProgress (here amazon.com/Power-Progress…), while some of them are new.
