The efforts to design AI that might solve all of the world’s biggest problems is nonsense, a top researcher from the University of California shared.
Michael Jordan explained the matter linked to Superhuman AI to scientists right before the upcoming global AI summit. He felt all the discussions surrounding the topic were nothing but a mere hype. It was clear that he wished to take a direct hit towards leading tech figures such as OpenAI chief Sam Altman and Dario Amodei from Anthropic. Both of them spoke about artificial general intelligence or AGI being a few years away.
Jordan debated over AGI being a superpower that can provide replies to all questions in the world of AI research. It would go above and beyond human capabilities is just fiction, he continued. He also found it strange why people deemed it to be a holy grail when it failed in so many different aspects.
Jordan is an expert in machine learning and statistics and he made his views very clear at the prestigious Polytechnique engineering institution yesterday how he felt about the matter. He also poured a lot of criticism about companies willing to put in investments worth billions and trillions to get what he deemed was just an illusion.
Today, so many models can make expert predictions thanks to access to huge numbers of data generated by humans including the web. He argued that AI does not and cannot know everything. What is in people’s minds right now, stays with them, and cannot be detected by AI.
Next discussions surrounded large language models powering AI-based chatbots including tools like ChatGPT. He called them tiny experts who reply to certain questions but cannot be deemed intelligent entities.
Jordan shared more on this matter including how developments are made today in the world of AI as an upcoming engineering field. The only difference is how it surrounds human data and decisions. This is what gives it that edge and makes it more suitable for complex issues like bettering health or transportation.
The entire development for this engineering field is held back by AI aspirations and creations of super robots taking over and assisting with tasks at home. But he fails to understand why there’s all this hysteria about superintelligence when it’s far from reality. This debate about superintelligence being real or not is a leading controversy among scientists around the globe.
