Thinking Machines: AI & Philosophy

The Myth of Human-in-the-Loop

Ex-Datadog Founding PM, Ayush Kapur, joins Daniel Cahn on SlingTalks to talk through the overloaded term, "Human in the Loop". They hone in on the impact of both, emotional and philosophical aspects of human interactions, for instance, your interaction with a doctor, and how those services can be considered irreplaceable by AI.

Key topics include:

  • Human-in-the-loop as human review vs. partially automated processes
  • Use cases where human-in-the-loop makes automation useless because humans have to repeat the exact same steps as the AI.
  • Liability and “human-washing,” where a human-in-the-loop is used for masking decisions effectively made by AI.
  • The psychological aspects of trusting a decision that's viewed as human vs. AI
  • Future scenarios where decision-making is fully delegated to AI
