Will the tech go the same destructive route as social media?
As has been noted, South by Southwest is lousy with panels on artificial intelligence this year. One of those filled a conference room at the Thompson Hotel and kicked off with a useful definition from panelist Steven Rosenbaum of that ineffable ideal before which poets and philosophers have prostrated themselves since the time of Plato.
With that out of the way, Rosenbaum’s counterpart on the panel, Gary Marcus, seemed to reluctantly agree. He noted that everyone, even the Republicans and fascists among us, have, through the years, shared in the assumption of an objective reality. Then came the first of several warnings. Over the next 45 minutes, Marcus took control of the dialogue, saying he remains hopeful that AI will eventually solve problems like climate change. But he said that so far AI is “better at making up bullshit” than solving problems and noted research demonstrating that the technology suffers from the same biases that plague human minds.
Marcus and Rosenbaum repeatedly returned to comparisons of AI and social media. They noted that social media in its infancy was seen as the hope for a more harmonious society, something that now seems tragically ridiculous. They worried AI will follow a path similar to the ones Facebook and Twitter have tread.
