What is AI? | MIT Technology Review
Artificial intelligence is a catchall term for a set of technologies that make computers do things that are thought to require intelligence when done by people. But even that definition contains multitudes, which is part of the problem. As this technology moves from prototype to product faster and faster, questions arise for everyone, yet there are no definitive answers, even from those creating it.
Note
what a fun ride.
across a historical retelling, through the land of TESCREAL and through an opinion on many intersection spectrums of what is and isn't AI.
there are a lot of parallels here to the question what is a particle that do help narrow in on what really matters.
the question is easy to ask and likely impossible to answer. yet, perhaps we can build bridges from that question to more meaningful ones where we can derive a renewed sense of purpose and adventure.
what do we want AI to do? what do we not want it to do? who will get to use it? when will they get to use it? etc, etc, etc
