Trust me, I’m an AI

AI is meant to do a better job than humans, otherwise what would be the point of having it? Well, a different approach, taken by researchers at Cornell University, is to try and get AI to do just as good, or bad, a job as humans. The first iteration of the AI, known as [...]

AI’s Awkward Teenager Phase

Yann LeCun, AI guru and co-recipient of the 2018 Turing Award, reckons that the current state of AI is "characterised by trial and error, confusion, overconfidence and a lack of overall understanding".  So, pretty much slap-bang in the middle of that awkward teenager phase then. It is certainly true that we have no [...]

So when some schools in Ayrshire, Scotland, start using Facial Recognition Technology (FRT) on school children in order for them to pay for their lunch, you've got to think there must be less intrusive, less dangerous [...]

AI’s Fatal Flaw?

I've written a few times in the past about how the latest raft of massive algorithms, such as OpenAI's GPT-3, can generate offensive text because they have been trained on pretty much the whole internet, which, as we all know, has more than its fair share of offensive material. But this is the [...]

Exploring the Challenges and Risks of AI

I was invited by HotTopics last year to talk at a couple of their roundtables as part of their Studio conference which brings together leaders from the world of technology. For one of the roundtables we were a person down, so it turned into a rather interesting one-to-one conversation with Thomson Reuters' journalist Djamilla [...]
