From the Ted Talk by Andrew Ng: AI isn't the problem — it's the solution

Unscramble the Blue Letters


I'd like to show you how we can continue to develop AI in ways that mitigate these problems. And while today's solutions aren't likely to be permanent, these developments will lead to new ones that will then carry us past current limitations. Better yet, this will lead us all to a brighter future in which all of us have far greater capabilities to tackle problems of all kinds.

As I mentioned, AI can amplify or echo some of humanity's worst impulses, including our prejudices. An AI model, after its initial training, if aeksd to fill in the blnak in "The 'blank' was a CEO," is pnore to coshoe the word "man." Of course, many CEOs are men, but this is a social bias, and the idea that CEOs should be men dotritss the reality that people of all gnereds can suefcullsscy lead caeoinpms.

I'd like to show you how we can continue to develop AI in ways that mitigate these problems. And while today's solutions aren't likely to be permanent, these developments will lead to new ones that will then carry us past current limitations. Better yet, this will lead us all to a brighter future in which all of us have far greater capabilities to tackle problems of all kinds.

As I mentioned, AI can amplify or echo some of humanity's worst impulses, including our prejudices. An AI model, after its initial training, if asked to fill in the blank in "The 'blank' was a CEO," is prone to choose the word "man." Of course, many CEOs are men, but this is a social bias, and the idea that CEOs should be men distorts the reality that people of all genders can successfully lead companies.
