Broad classification is based on lots of previous experience in a context. Current training uses TONS of non-contiguous snapshot images with a classifier attached. While that could be viewed as similar to how humans work, if you squint at it...I think seeing the world work over time, and learning while you do it, is the only way to get close to what we might think of as human level classification. And while their desire to use less training input would be nice, I don't think that would be expected to improve results...only lower costs.
And we'll need to decode how the brain decides to create connections between neurons, and extracts/builds features (or layers/groups). Current technology has us guessing and checking at structure (convolutions and feature layers), versus letting the algorithm decide if we need to group data differently or create another layer to do additional processing. That guessing and checking seems very inefficient, and won't scale if the problem changes over time having locked the solution in place ahead of time.
Explaining a decision seems harder than they're making it out to be. I wouldn't be expecting answers to return as bounds based on characteristics (expecting to quantify everything), but on feature extraction and similarity to other known systems and idealized forms, or models. Even people can often recognize something before they can explain any rationality behind the thought. I'd think explaining would need more capability than simply finding a choice/decision.
My experience in the tech field is that companies constantly pressure their employees for more productivity, and that everyone can be moral. You don't need a degree in philosophy or psychology to be caring and aware of what is right/good...just as you don't need a computer science degree to program.
Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to punish people who are immoral. Just like it would help to do the same in politics.
Anyone who has flashed a custom ROM to a phone should know it isn't as simple as installing an apk (Android app file) to add a working Google Play store if it's missing to begin with. Or it hadn't been last I tried this (year or two ago now probably).
Yes, if users can do what a manufacturer didn't after buying the phone then I see less issue with this type of requirement by Google. It'd be interesting if they forced the same thing on users (after fixing the process). I've never seen one app forcibly install another.
This. And agree best bet otherwise is server hardware. Can't guarantee anything, but businesses use hardware for years and partially pay to get that support.
