Re: The AI Revolution Hasn’t Happened Yet
#2A related talk that Michael Jordan gave at a machine learning conference called Sys ML last month.
Re: The AI Revolution Hasn’t Happened Yet
#3I saw Prof. Jordan give this talk in person, and the 2nd paragraph resonated with me. I wish there was more critical thinking involved in science/research/higher ed/industry but unfortunately most there's a lot of cheap money floating around with "experts" slurping it up without care for outcome.
"But the episode troubled me, particularly after a back-of-the-envelope calculation convinced me that many thousands of people had gotten that diagnosis that same day worldwide, that many of them had opted for amniocentesis, and that a number of babies had died needlessly."

#4Well said:
> Thus, just as humans built buildings and bridges before there was civil engineering, humans are proceeding with the building of societal-scale, inference and decision making systems that involve machines, humans and the environment. Just as early buildings and bridges sometimes fell to the ground — in unforeseen ways and with tragic consequences — many of our early societal scale inference and decision making systems are already exposing serious conceptual flaws.

#5I'm not an AI researcher (although from my internet reading that's not a hard title to claim ;)) but I feel that ML/DL can't go much farther than they already have. The concept of "we just need more power" is an obvious fallacy to me.

#6The biggest challenge yet unconquered is getting your "average" business ($1-100m revenue, zero AI knowledge) using ML to help with literally anything they do.
I'd wager less than 1% of businesses outside of SV even have a clue where to begin, or what to use it for, my employer included. "Do we hire some AI guys?"
We'll need to crack the 1%-using-it mark for me to consider the revolution "begun"...

Considering that the average business is unlikely to be writing any sort of software, other than perhaps basic Excel formulas... I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to use advanced software development techniques such as ML.

Why don't you think it will continue to progress?

Humans are proof that machine intelligence can be improved quite a bit. We are just complicated machines, no?
