What AI really is\u2026<\/h1><\/div><\/div>\n\n

When most of us at 9senses began working with what is now labeled Artificial Intelligence,<\/strong> we didn't use that term. Back then, we were talking about non-linear computing, fuzzy logic, heuristics, machine learning, among others.<\/p>\n

Today, many people think that AI makes computers as smart as humans. In reality, computer software is still far away from reaching that level, but today it is able to emulate and even surpass human capabilities in specific fields<\/a>, particularly those that require the processing of large amounts of information or the generation of output from a large data pool. We would like to instill a bit of clarity here, at the cost of taking some of the magic of AI away, as did Joseph Weizenbaum, the legendary creator of Eliza:<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\u201cWhat I had not realized is that extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

History of AI<\/h2>\n

The idea of a machine-driven intelligence is not new. Literature has come up with speaking automatons way before the steam engine was invented, and since the arrival of computers, we have hoped for and feared AI smarter than humans<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
