Our work with AI reveals the nature of intelligence, just like sparks once showed us what electricity was
Kelly draws a parallel between the current wave of AI and the early days of electricity; specifically, in how little we truly understand what we’re working with. In the 18th and 19th centuries, even as scientists staged demonstrations of the sp... See more
