AI safety: a problem as hard as it gets

Great article on AI algorithms. The death of a woman hit by a self-driving car highlights an unfolding technological crisis. Between the “dumb” algorithms and true AI lies the problematic halfway house we’ve already entered with little agreement on development processes, ethics, safety, and best practices. Oh…, by-the-way, nobody knows if true AI will solve all our current problems or maybe amplify by a high factor. Today’s semi-intelligent algorithms: opaque, theoretically predictable, practically challenging to audit -  can be called “frankenalgos”.
