Don’t forget the data.
As America races with China to lead the world in artificial intelligence (AI), the U.S. government may actually be missing an even greater problem.
AI is the science of training computers to perform tasks with near-human levels of insight. But if we’re training computers to think more like humans, we should acknowledge that human decision making sometimes goes wrong. What happens to the human brain when it is fed bad data? If someone was to make a decision based only on fake news, could they be expected to make the best choice?
That’s why the U.S. may be falling into a trap. We are focusing on AI but not the data that AI needs to function.
The stakes could not be higher. Whichever nation wins the AI race will reap enormous benefits. Not only in military capabilities, but numerous other fields, from intelligence analysis and medical research to self-driving cars and cybersecurity.
