Episode notes
AI vs. Cybernetics
- The term "artificial intelligence" was coined in reaction to "cybernetics", shifting focus from networks to logic.
- Modern AI's success stems from cybernetic principles like networks and data, not logic-based AI.
Outdated AI in Healthcare
- Michael Jordan shares a story about an outdated AI model used in healthcare.
- It overestimated Down syndrome diagnoses due to using data collected from older ultrasound machines.
Data Provenance for Predictions
- Include provenance information with every AI prediction.
- Consider if the data is outdated and if relevant circumstances have changed.
