Benefits, drawbacks, and risks of AI

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

In the following discussion we focus on what exists today, narrow (or weak) AI. Narrow AI refers to algorithms that are application-specific, as compared to the generalized AI that mimics the human ability to learn and perform on any topic. Generalized (or strong) AI does not currently exist, and some experts are skeptical that it ever will. If society decides that even this limited version of AI is undesirable, all things considered, then that determination should preclude any need to separately evaluate the general variety. For the time being, therefore, we are justified in considering only the narrow version.
