Artificial intelligence (AI) may be advancing at breakneck speed, but one stubborn truth hasn’t changed: AI is only as good as the data behind it. RT Insights brought this topic to us in their article, “Why AI Systems Are Only as Good as the Data Being Fed into Them“. This is not new news. “Garbage…
Read MoreData Layers and Semantic Layers: Where AI Finds Meaning
Artificial intelligence (AI) depends on data, but having access to enormous amounts of data does not automatically mean an AI system understands what that data means. That distinction helps explain the relationship between two important components of modern AI applications: the data layer and the semantic layer. DATAVERSITY brought this topic to our attention in…
Read MoreThe Promise and Fear of Artificial Superintelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is already changing how we work, search, analyze data and make decisions. But artificial superintelligence (ASI) represents something very different. ASI is the theoretical point at which an AI system surpasses human intelligence across virtually every field. Not just calculation or data processing, but reasoning, creativity, strategy, scientific discovery and problem-solving. MIT…
Read MoreWhen AI Learns the Wrong Lessons
Data bias is one of the most significant challenges facing organizations that rely on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. AI systems learn from the data they are given, which means that when the data contains historical biases, gaps or imbalances, those problems can become embedded in the technology’s results. This interesting and important article…
