Temple Grandin, Elon Musk and the interesting parallels between autonomous vehicles and autism
Autism is defined by the Google GOOGL dictionary as “a developmental disorder of variable severity that is characterized by difficulty in social interaction and communication and by restricted or repetitive patterns of thought and behavior.” As a computer scientist, this definition is a bit jarring because it is a pretty good description of an Artificial Intelligence computer. However, in the case of AI computers, one is describing the apex of computing and not a developmental disorder. It appears that Elon Musk can feel safe about AI taking over humanity for some period of time.
