Satya Nadella Explores How Humans and AI Can Work Together To Solve Society's Greatest Challenges (geekwire.com)
In an op-ed for Slate, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has shared his views on AI, and how humans could work together with this nascent technology to do great things. Nadella feels that humans and machines can work together to address society's greatest challenges, including diseases and poverty. But he admits that this will require "a bold and ambition approach that goes beyond anything that can be achieved through incremental improvements to current technology," he wrote. You can read the long essay here. GeekWire has summarized the principles and goals postulated by Nadella. From the article:AI must be designed to assist humanity.
AI must be transparent.
AI must maximize efficiencies without destroying the dignity of people.
AI must be designed for intelligent privacy.
AI needs algorithmic accountability so humans can undo unintended harm.
AI must guard against bias.
It's critical for humans to have empathy.
It's critical for humans to have education.
The need for human creativity won't change.
A human has to be ultimately accountable for the outcome of a computer-generated diagnosis or decision.

Never mind all the 'AI' bullshit, mister, how about you concentrate on not annexing every damned computer on the planet into your fucking Windows 10 spyware bot-net instead?
Are YOU using the TOOL, or is the TOOL using YOU? Think about it!
Because it's not possible in principle.
AI technologies have not changed since the 80s. The neural networks keep getting bigger and more efficient, but they're essentially in the same shape as decades ago.
There will never be such a thing as a "conscious" AI, because it's impossible in principle, same as raising the dead, breaking the speed of light, or resurrecting dinosaurs. Most people have a comic book understanding of involved technologies, but anyone who has ever worked with AI know the field is in a laughable state compared to the expectations and drivel they serve in the papers. Nadella is a functional moron with IQ in double digits.
