AI General
The way AI gets its information.
What is "from given data"?
"AI is a powerful tool that can easily be misused. In general, AI and learning algorithms extrapolate from the data they are given."
Gonsalves, Florence, et al. “AI—the Good, the Bad, and the Scary.” Virginia Tech Engineer, 2023, eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html.
Is AI dangerous?
What is "yes"?
"These things could get more intelligent than us and could decide to take over, and we need to worry now about how we prevent that happening"
Thomas, Mike. “14 Risks and Dangers of Artificial Intelligence (AI).” Built In, 25 July 2024, builtin.com/artificial-intelligence/risks-of-artificial-intelligence.
The reason AI is said to be better than a human.
What is "greater intelligence/analysis"?
"With massive improvements in storage systems, processing speeds, and analytic techniques, they are capable of tremendous sophistication in analysis and decisionmaking."
West, Darrell, and John Allen. “How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming the World.” Brookings, The Brookings Institution, 24 Apr. 2020, www.brookings.edu/articles/how-artificial-intelligence-is-transforming-the-world/.
What autonomous weapons are meant to do.
What is "save lives/prevent soldiers from dying"?
"A lot of current development of AI-powered weapons aims to remove human soldiers from harm’s way, which by itself is a humane thing to do."
Caruso, Catherine. “The Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Weapons Design.” Harvard.edu, Harvard Medical School, 7 Aug. 2024, hms.harvard.edu/news/risks-artificial-intelligence-weapons-design.
The way AI progresses
What is "adapting by experience"?
"AI systems have the ability to learn and adapt as they make decisions. In the transportation area, for example, semi-autonomous vehicles have tools that let drivers and vehicles know about upcoming congestion, potholes, highway construction, or other possible traffic impediments."
West, Darrell, and John Allen. “How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming the World.” Brookings, The Brookings Institution, 24 Apr. 2020, www.brookings.edu/articles/how-artificial-intelligence-is-transforming-the-world/.
One of the main risks of AI.
What is "data privacy and security"?
"Data privacy and security are also valid concerns with the increased use of AI and automation of sensitive information."
Gonsalves, Florence, et al. “AI—the Good, the Bad, and the Scary.” Virginia Tech Engineer, 2023, eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html.
The way AI supports us with benefits.
What is "improved productivity"?
"AI has provided advantages and benefits not seen before, from the optimization of construction processes and productivity to improving safety protocols and advancing sustainable practices."
Gonsalves, Florence, et al. “AI—the Good, the Bad, and the Scary.” Virginia Tech Engineer, 2023, eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html.
AI weapons are.
What is "automatic weapons"?
AI usually projected as.
What is "machines that respond to humans"?
"AI generally is thought to refer to “machines that respond to stimulation consistent with traditional responses from humans, given the human capacity for contemplation, judgment and intention"."
West, Darrell, and John Allen. “How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming the World.” Brookings, The Brookings Institution, 24 Apr. 2020, www.brookings.edu/articles/how-artificial-intelligence-is-transforming-the-world/.
The way AI negatively affects our decisions.
What is "influencing"?
"More generally, today's AI systems influence human decision making at multiple levels: from viewing habits to purchasing decisions, from political opinions to social values."
Gonsalves, Florence, et al. “AI—the Good, the Bad, and the Scary.” Virginia Tech Engineer, 2023, eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html.
The way AI improves our communication.
What is "communicating with AI"?
"These models are no longer just about automating tasks — they are versatile support tools that people can tap into for brainstorming, practicing tough conversations, or even seeking emotional support."
Gonsalves, Florence, et al. “AI—the Good, the Bad, and the Scary.” Virginia Tech Engineer, 2023, eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html.
Autonomous weapons are already being made.
What is "yes"?
"While a lot of work is still needed to build AI-powered weapons, most of the core algorithms have already been proposed or are a focus of major academic and industry research motivated by nonmilitary applications — for example, self-driving vehicles."
Caruso, Catherine. “The Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Weapons Design.” Harvard.edu, Harvard Medical School, 7 Aug. 2024, hms.harvard.edu/news/risks-artificial-intelligence-weapons-design.
The way machine learning works.
What is "studying data"?
"Machine learning takes data and looks for underlying trends. If it spots something that is relevant for a practical problem, software designers can take that knowledge and use it to analyze specific issues."
West, Darrell, and John Allen. “How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming the World.” Brookings, The Brookings Institution, 24 Apr. 2020, www.brookings.edu/articles/how-artificial-intelligence-is-transforming-the-world/.
The main concern in jobs when AI is able to work.
What is "job loss"?
"By 2030, tasks that account for up to 30 percent of hours currently being worked in the U.S. economy could be automated — with Black and Hispanic employees left especially vulnerable to the change — according to McKinsey. Goldman Sachs even states 300 million full-time jobs could be lost to AI automation."
Thomas, Mike. “14 Risks and Dangers of Artificial Intelligence (AI).” Built In, 25 July 2024, builtin.com/artificial-intelligence/risks-of-artificial-intelligence.
The way AI improves our decision making.
What is "more efficient analysis"?
"It is a wide-ranging tool that enables people to rethink how we integrate information, analyze data, and use the resulting insights to improve decision making."
West, Darrell, and John Allen. “How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming the World.” Brookings, The Brookings Institution, 24 Apr. 2020, www.brookings.edu/articles/how-artificial-intelligence-is-transforming-the-world/.
AI weapons wants to be banned or allowed
What is "banned"?
"Some in the community have called for a full ban on military AI. While we agree that this would be morally ideal, we recognize that it’s not realistic — AI is too useful for military purposes to get the international consensus needed to establish or enforce such a ban."
Caruso, Catherine. “The Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Weapons Design.” Harvard.edu, Harvard Medical School, 7 Aug. 2024, hms.harvard.edu/news/risks-artificial-intelligence-weapons-design.
AI currently meant to do.
What is "help daily life"?
"AI is not a futuristic vision, but rather something that is here today and being integrated with and deployed into a variety of sectors. This includes fields such as finance, national security, health care, criminal justice, transportation, and smart cities."
Thomas, Mike. “14 Risks and Dangers of Artificial Intelligence (AI).” Built In, 25 July 2024, builtin.com/artificial-intelligence/risks-of-artificial-intelligence.
The very important risk of depending AI determine important things.
What is "bias"?
"There is a potential risk of diminishing critical thinking skills if users depend too heavily on AI-generated content without scrutiny. Also, as these models are trained on vast amounts of internet text, they might unknowingly propagate biases present in their training data."
Gonsalves, Florence, et al. “AI—the Good, the Bad, and the Scary.” Virginia Tech Engineer, 2023, eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html.
The AI model that is transforming technological interactions.
What is "Large Language Models"?
"Large language models (LLMs) are transforming our interactions with technologies. Their capacity to parse and generate human-like text has made it possible to have more dynamic conversations with machines."
Gonsalves, Florence, et al. “AI—the Good, the Bad, and the Scary.” Virginia Tech Engineer, 2023, eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html.
The two groups collaborating for AI evolution.
Who is "Academics and Military"?
"Academics have had and will continue to have important and productive collaborations with the government and major companies involved in technology, medicine, and information, as well as with the military."
