The first thing you should know is that AI isn’t the incomprehensible magic many people make it out to be, but it isn’t as limited as skeptics would like either. Martorell defines it with a phrase that seems to me the most honest I’ve heard: artificial intelligence is statistics gone wild. It’s an algorithm that has seen millions of examples and learns to predict what comes next, just as your brain learned to recognize a dog without anyone explaining the theory of mammals to you. The classic example of cats and dogs isn’t innocent: there was a real case in which the model learned the background of the image, not the animal. When dogs always appeared in fields and cats at home, the algorithm confused grass with a dog and a wardrobe with a cat. That tells us something important: these systems learn what we teach them, including all our biases.
