Does Artificial Intelligence benefit the Common Good?

Artificial Intelligence + Common Good

The invention of the steam engine triggered revolutionary societal changes. Machines replaced physical work. They produced goods cheaper, faster and more effectively. In the end everyone profited from that through more prosperity. A similar development is becoming apparent today: in many areas artificial intelligence is replacing processes which require human thinking. Will we also all benefit from this?

Choosing the right AI model

AI Model

The popularity of AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems is growing in leaps and bounds. Businesses around the world are starting to understand how these systems can benefit them, but AI is not yet at the stage where you can simply take it out of the box and expect it to perform. AI systems require training, which is where AI models come into the equation.

An “AI model” is an algorithm that is taught using data and input from a human expert. The model is evaluated on its accuracy by comparing the results it provides against the decisions made by the human expert. This often requires the algorithm to review a significant amount of data. In addition, by accessing data from multiple sources, the model is better able to find patterns which it can use to further streamline its analysis. The model is attempting to replicate the decision process of a team of experts with access to the same data.

Types and Importance of AI Training Data

Types of AI Training Data

1997 was a pivotal year in the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as it was the first time a machine managed to defeat a world champion in chess. Deep Blue was an IBM Supercomputer and, after losing to Garry Kasparov 4-2 in 1996, had learned and improved and came back to defeat him in 1997 after a hard-fought battle.

Machine learning (ML) and AI use complicated algorithms to learn and process information. These algorithms mimic the human brain, and just like a human child learns, they can also be taught through data and experience.
