AI: A Tool for Alleviating Suffering
- AI is a powerful tool for alleviating human suffering, much like a stethoscope or X-ray.
- How we use these tools, not the tools themselves, determines patient outcomes.
Brain-Computer Comparison
- The human brain has limitations in its processing power compared to computers.
- AI can enhance our capabilities, similar to how microscopes extend our vision.
Limitations of Machine Learning
- Humans uniquely possess contrafactual reasoning ("what if" thinking).
- Current machine learning only offers the first level of causal inference.
