Forward Thinking on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence has an immense potential to change the world. Therefore, it’s essential to understand its future implications.

Current Artificial Intelligence Environment

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) encompasses a comprehensive range of industries globally, which are witnessing rampant development. Current AI programs have restricted knowledge and fail to respond to tasks assigned to them outside their area of established programming. Forward-thinking in AI encapsulates taking significant strides in replicating Artificial general intelligence, a region where applied critical judgment, problem-solving, and abstract thinking are applied. 

Artificial general intelligence is necessary to make robust AI tools of the future where deep reasoning in teaching systems is a possibility. Due to the challenge of reasoning, the nature of problems that Artificial general intelligence would solve is obscure and uncertain. Hence, accurate predictions cannot be made regarding potential AI applications. 

What Do We Need to Improve in AI for the future?

Neural networks within learning models require immense volumes of data to master a task. Feeding them with massive data sets would be essentially time-consuming and expensive. Sometimes, there could be a lack of data in the domain to assign the model. This issue is primarily what researchers aim to figure out by finding a viable solution with fewer data. 

A self-supervised learning system is an improvised unsupervised learning method that creates a data-efficient artificial intelligent system. With self-supervised/unsupervised types of AI models, we can apply or transfer learning to a different vertical. A program trained for one set of problems would essentially solve other similar tasks in the domain. 

Reinforcement learning AI models would also help advance the future of AI as they can interact with the world and learn from their perceptions without any human interference. This can be understood easily with the example of a personalized recommendation system where the click rate can be calculated. Applications of such learning models range from analyzing evolutionary biology by clustering DNA samples to customer segmentation based on behavior/demographics. It allows for unlabeled and raw learning that current AI systems lack.

Impact and Potential of Advanced AI

Human capabilities and autonomy could be challenged, but communities across the globe will save time, money, and other resources as the surge of AI would create new jobs and skillsets. As AI becomes far-reaching, we will begin to entrust it with more responsibility. Therefore, it must reflect the human values we strive for.

Biases within machine learning are another concern as they can happen unintentionally due to false data set ingraining or upon malicious intent by an individual/organization.

Forward-thinking in AI would require a collaborative effort across broad disciplines in operations and application for transparency and creating opportunities for people and businesses.  

“Everything we love about civilization is a product of intelligence, so amplifying our human intelligence with artificial intelligence has the potential of helping civilization flourish like never before – as long as we manage to keep the technology beneficial.” - Max Tegmark, President of the Future of Life Institute.
