A new interface?

Posted on February 14, 2023 by decisionmanagementcommunity

Prof. Toby Walsh shared “Bard, Bing and Baidu: how big tech’s AI race will transform search – and all of computing”: “When Microsoft launched Windows, it was the start of a revolution. Rather than typing cryptic instructions, we could just point and click on a screen. That revolution continued with the launch of Apple’s iPhone – an interface that shrunk computers and the web into the palm of our hand. Perhaps the biggest impact from AI-driven search tools will be on how we interact with the myriad ever-smarter devices in our lives. We will stop pointing, clicking and touching, and will instead start having entire conversations with our devices. We can only speculate on what this might mean in the longer term.

BBN Times calls Rule-based Systems “Fake AI”

Posted on February 7, 2023 by decisionmanagementcommunity

The goal of fake AI is to trick users into thinking that they are interacting with a real AI system, when in fact, they are not. It does not have the ability to generalize or make decisions based on new information, and it relies on pre-programmed rules or decision trees.” “Rule-Based Programming: Fake AI is created using a set of pre-defined rules and decision trees that specify how the system should behave in certain situations. These rules are created by humans and are not based on any learning or training process.” But don’t worry: it also calls Alan Turing “Alin”.
