AI and the 95% vs 5% debate

Massive Studios
About this episode

The industry is debating whether AI should be viewed as augmenting or replacing human-centric tasks. But we don’t yet have a framework to discuss the technical and business impacts of that spectrum of decisions.

SHOW NOTES:


HOW DO WE THINK ABOUT THE INVOLVEMENT OF HUMANS WITH AI SYSTEMS?

  • What do we think AI systems should be capable of?
  • What do we think human systems should be capable of?
  • We know how to quantify error, but do we really know how to quantify error?
  • Almost every question about AI comes down to augment vs. replace, and yet humans tend to skew towards the replace angle. 
  • We like the thought of humans in the loop, but often don’t want to be bothered to interact with humans
  • We haven’t yet created a framework to think about the human +/- AI involvement, because we haven’t really created it for general-purpose automation yet either.
