Like with any form of technology, there are limitations to what artificial intelligence can and cannot do.
Artificial intelligence is a technology built and programmed to assist computer systems in mimicking human behaviour. Algorithm training informed by experience and iterative processing allows the machine to learn, improve, and ultimately use human-like thinking to solve complex problems.
Can: Be trained and 'learn' AI combines data inputs with iterative processing algorithms to analyze and identify patterns. With each round of new inputs, AI "learns" through the deep learning and natural language processes built into training algorithms. Can: Perpetuate bias The majority of employees in the tech industry are white men. And since AI is essentially an extension of those who build it, biases can emerge in systems designed to mimic human behavior.
Cannot: Judge beauty contests Beauty.ai programmed three different algorithms to measure symmetry, wrinkles, and youth in a beauty contest judged by an AI system. While the machines were not programmed to select skin colour as part of the beauty equation, almost all of the selected 44 winners were white. No algorithms were programmed to detect melanin or darker skin as a component.
Can: Flip burgers Flippy is an AI assistant that is flipping burgers at fast food chains in California. The AI relies on sensors to track temperature and cooking time. However, Flippy is designed to work with humans rather than replace them. Eventually, AI assistants like Flippy will be able to perform more complicated tasks—but they won't be able to replace a chef's culinary palate and finesse.
