Cassie Kozyrkov (Google) presented a view on machine learning and artificial intelligence that was completely new to me. Starting with the idea
All technology is an echo of the wishes of whoever built it.
Cassie Kozyrkov
She is emphasizing to reduce the fear on the technology on believe in the human. The possibility to communicate to machines not with code, instead with experience and examples as we do it all the years in the past.
She pointed out the AI as student with certain special capabilities. By the way a great quote:
Written in Python it is ML – written in PowerPoint it is AI.
Cassie Kozyrkov
So how to work with that student?
| Step | Student | AI |
| Purpose | wise objective to study | wise objective to optimize |
| Information | relevant textbooks | relevant datasets |
| Testing | well-crafted exams | statistical tests |
| General | prudent safety net | prudent reliability engineering |
As in real live, be aware of the competence of the student. If you have a student with an remarkable memory you can not test him by asking informations he exactly learnt in the same way from a textbook. You also cannot ask him the same test questions twice.
