Artificial Intelligence (AI) and
Machine Learning (ML) are becoming ever more
ubiquitous in every aspect of our lives. The rate
of change of both the ubiquity and the power has been
truly startling. This journal club is meant to be
a forum for discussion of these "tools". I will
give some of my thoughts on the appropriate (and
inappropriate) uses in research (powerful tool that can
be misused), education (potentially powerful tool that
is often misused) and life (helpful tool). The cost in
terms of resources also should not be forgotten.
Spoiler: I'm much more accepting of most uses then many
people are but do not think they are either the solution
to everything nor an existential evil. Finally what do
you think about Artificial General Intelligence AGI, are
we there, how will we know, are you/should we be afraid
of it? What about "the AI singularity"?
