How safe is safe for an AV? The answer (expectation and communication)
Ken Ford is a wellrecognized expert in the field of artificial intelligence. In his talk “On Computational Wings: The Prospects & Putative Perils of AI,” Ken discusses the progress of flying machines and compares them to their natural cousins — birds. We all know that artificial flying machines (planes, helicopters) do not flap their wings, and this makes perfect sense. He goes on to build an analogy to artificial intelligence and the dangers of expecting human-like behaviour from artificial intelligence. In addition, an Einstein quote “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid,” seems to also apply. That is, it may be best to use AI where appropriate as opposed to trying to mimic human behavior.
