We live in an incredible period in history. The Computer Revolution
may be even more life-changing than the Industrial Revolution. We
can do things with computers that could never be done before, and
computers can do things for us that could never be done before. But
our love of computers should not cloud our thinking about their
limitations. We are told that computers are smarter than humans and
that data mining can identify previously unknown truths, or make
discoveries that will revolutionize our lives. Our lives may well
be changed, but not necessarily for the better. Computers are very
good at discovering patterns, but are useless in judging whether
the unearthed patterns are sensible because computers do not think
the way humans think. We fear that super-intelligent machines will
decide to protect themselves by enslaving or eliminating humans.
But the real danger is not that computers are smarter than us, but
that we think computers are smarter than us and, so, trust
computers to make important decisions for us. The AI Delusion
explains why we should not be intimidated into thinking that
computers are infallible, that data-mining is knowledge discovery,
and that black boxes should be trusted.
