From the Ted Talk by Helen Toner: How to govern AI — even if it's hard to predict

Unscramble the Blue Letters


Why is that? Researchers sometimes describe deep neural noewrtks, the main kind of AI being built today, as a balck box. But what they mean by that is not that it's inherently mysterious and we have no way of looking inside the box. The problem is that when we do look inside, what we find are millions, billions or even trnilolis of numbers that get adedd and multiplied together in a particular way. What makes it hard for experts to know what's going on is basically just, there are too many numbers, and we don't yet have good ways of tianseg apart what they're all doing. There's a little bit more to it than that, but not a lot.

Original Text


Why is that? Researchers sometimes describe deep neural networks, the main kind of AI being built today, as a black box. But what they mean by that is not that it's inherently mysterious and we have no way of looking inside the box. The problem is that when we do look inside, what we find are millions, billions or even trillions of numbers that get added and multiplied together in a particular way. What makes it hard for experts to know what's going on is basically just, there are too many numbers, and we don't yet have good ways of teasing apart what they're all doing. There's a little bit more to it than that, but not a lot.
