He was the first to really address the conflicts of human-like machines, that mean us good but eventually start to go foul. In literature, science-fiction author Karel Čapek coined the word “Robot” in 1920. If “artificial intelligence” were called “machine intelligence” (we now use “Machine” Learing), would there be the same fear, philosophical dilemmas, cognitive meandering, latencies in our legal or ethical frameworks?
If Minsky, McCarthy, Shannon, and Rochester had not specifically used the terms «articifical intelligence» in their 1956 pitch to get funding for a workshop at Dartmouth, then… Like Darwin, like Audubon, it is a naturalist action on technology, called humanizing AI. In order to preserve another species, preserving us. An act of clarification towards professionals.Īn excercise in explainablility by itself.īuilding a nomenclature, creating categories, separating species, the dangerous ones from the less dangerous ones, the fine ones against the voracious ones. It is an act of reassurance to the public. The late EU AI proposal is yet another proof to the urgency that something might get out of hand. Scientists, thinkers, philosophers, economists, Nobel Prize winners all witness our questioning about the direction of AI, about its core values, about its purpose. And if a biased wording is partly the cause of the technical, social and ethical bewilderment we feel to be in right now? Numerous debates evolve around “trust”, “fear”, “confusion”…
Our reality on Artificial Intelligence is blurred. We give meaning to words and words shape our reality.
