Unraveling the Dark Illusions: Artificial Intelligence Revealed
Artificial Intelligence, colloquially known as AI, has whirled itself into a buzzword- a term that dwells in business dialogues, everyday speech, and intriguing ads. Behind the glow of revolution and progress, a shadier side of AI looms. It is essential to embark on an exploration of this darker side.
AI assures a seismic shift in world operations, vows to decipher confounding problems and promises to elevate human living standards extraordinarily. However, alongside the potential wonders, there's an avalanche of exaggerations, unfulfilled promises, and blatant frauds.
A revelation from history drops a bombshell. Wolf Gan Von Kempelen's self-operating chess-playing machine, “The Mechanical Turk,” outwitted several humans, including famous names like Napoleon and Benjamin Franklin. However, the genius machine concealed a human operator beneath, rendering it a hoax. Fast forward to 2016, Amazon's “Just Walk Out” checkout system promised a seamless shopping experience, attributing it to AI’s prowess. However, the operation was surreptitiously monitored and managed by thousands of people in India.
This illusion-building approach is known as “AI washing”. Companies exaggerate their usage and the capabilities of AI in their offerings. They inflate the AI capabilities to attract customers and investors, seducing them into believing the perceived benefits of AI.
However, this tactic profoundly undermines consumer trust and compromises the real potential of AI. Let's steer clear of the illusions and see AI for what it truly is.
