I think that there are promising signs that humans will be more willing to accept the results of machine learning algorithms they see and apply more and more applications.Robert Tulip wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2023 12:41 am
Lev, I think this shift to an algorithmic policy basis is really important and good. The problem is that humans are too stupid and ignorant and emotional to have sensible opinions. For example, if we ask artificial intelligence to design an optimal climate policy, we will find that the biggest constraints are not scientific, economic or technical, but rather the pervasive barrier of human stupidity. So we will soon see the situation emerge where machine learning proposes methods to stabilize and cool the planet, delivering on the essential climate goal of mitigating the impact of warming, but the world will be unable to implement these essential security measures solely because too many people think they are smarter than the machines. It is up to humans to set the goals for the algorithms to answer, and then to properly recognize the logic within the machine solution.
