assistant.
AI has the ability to anticipate needs of people and make recommendations to people.

Most artificial intelligence examples such as self driving cars rely heavily on deep learning and natural language processing. Using these technologies, computers can be trained to accomplish
specific tasks by processing large amounts of data and recognizing patterns in the data.

Machine learning is part of / a subset of artificial intelligence. Machine learning involves computational methods that use past
information / data, which has been labeled, to improve performance or make accurate predictions.

Deep learning is part of / a subset of machine learning.
In deep learning, task are broken down and distributed onto machine learning algorithms that are organized in consecutive layers.

A small, representative set of data is better than a large, unrepresentative set of data. Example: If 10,000 images of faces represent 8 out of 10 skin tones, AI cannot recognize the 2 skin tones it has not been exposed to at all.

AI is an old field, and few ideas are truly new. The current advances in deep learning have their roots in neural network research from the 1980s and 1990s, and that research in turn was based on ideas and experiments from all the way back in the 1940s.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is enabling vertical farming in which plants can be grown in city warehouses in 10 meter stacks of trays. Such vertical farms require less water and fertilizer than
traditional farms.

Question # 4
What are machines really good at?
Machines can answer specific questions.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4276261415 Page 22.
Computers such as calculators can calculate numbers much faster than humans.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4276261415 Page 6.
Machines are good at doing repetitive, routine work and
analyzing large data sets.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2570746538 Page 5.
A goal of the Chinese government is to be able to use its cameras to identify people within 3 seconds with 90% accuracy.

AI techniques from deep learning, image classification and object recognition can be used to find cancer on magnetic resonance
imagining (MRIs) with the same accuracy as highly trained radiologists.
https://www.sas.com/en_us/insights/analytics/what-is-artificial-intelligence.html
AI is particularly good at analyzing images. For example, you can imagine taking a mobile phone and uploading an image and training an AI system to say, “Is this likely to be skin cancer or not?”

AI can be used to monitor buildings and machines - forecasting when and what to repair before breakdowns.

Precision agriculture requires a vast network of Internet of Things sensors. This information might include images by satellites
or drones, sensors in the field and sensors on farm equipment. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2570746538 Page 35.
Machines can compose text that is almost indistinguishable from human writing.

AI can transform the field of law. An example: Negotiating and finalizing a contract includes that lawyers on each side manually review, edit and exchange documents. This process can take a long time, for example because contracts are long. There is an opportunity to automate this process. AI technology will broaden a lawyer’s role from a narrow focus on risk mitigation to more strategic engagement on company initiatives.

AI will disrupt every phase of the scientific process: 1. Ask questions and make observations. 2. Devise hypotheses. 3. Design experiment and test predictions based on hypotheses. 4. Run tests and collect data. 5. Develop generalized theories.

Question # 5 How can people help machines?
Humans can understand the purpose of doing something.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4276261415 Page 6.
Humans can train machines to perform tasks.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2570746538 Page 107.
Empathy trainers can teach AI systems
how to display compassion.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2570746538 Page 117.
Personality trainers can help AI systems
become more humanlike.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2570746538 Page 118.
Worldview and localization trainers help chatbots become
more sensitive to different ways of thinking and communicating across the globe.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2570746538 Page 119.
AI safety engineers
anticipate unintended consequences of AI systems and address any harmful occurrences with the appropriate strategy.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2570746538 Page 129.
Humans can explain machine outcomes.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2570746538 Page 107.
There is a need for people to learn more about how to think creatively, for example rethinking how people work, make the right judgments and communicate effectively.
