We may underestimate the value of AI because we overestimate the accuracy of humans

We likely wouldn’t pass the Turing test ourselves: “Almost half of our participants (42%) decided that their conversational partner (that was in every case a human being) was a computer program.” pic.twitter.com/22QmM6pF7B

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.

Important agreement btwn WH & AI leaders.

Key omission: a requirement that companies disclose their data sets. As a society, we must insist on full data transparency, to compensate content creators, to combat bias, and to discern limits on models.
