The answer is probably yes, but this won\u2019t be any time soon. AI bugs are a thing so let\u2019s talk about <strong>Artificial<\/strong> <strong>Stupidity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"7ajk0\">Why do we fear Robots?<\/h2>\n<p>Everyone who has ever heard of Artificial Intelligence knows that sooner or later machines will be smarter than us but are we close to this kind of intelligence? Well, not at all and <strong>Alex Fern\u00e0ndez,<\/strong> Developer and Coordinator of MadridJS and NodeJsMadrid, clearly showed us why in his talk at <strong>Codemotion Rome 2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"video regular \">\n<div class=\"embed-container\">\n<div style=\"max-width: 100%; position: relative; padding-top: 56.25%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DFrGoEQj1Ts?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" style=\"position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>At the very beginning of the AI era, we were very optimistic about it. Everyone thought that Artificial Intelligence would be an awesome servant leading us to a new Sparta where citizens dedicate themselves to literature and science while slaves do all the work. In 1966 Simon Ramo, American engineer and father of the ICBM, wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOur goal is to use technology to extend our intellectual efforts and our spiritual aspiration.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The creepy feeling of becoming inferior started haunting us when in 1997 the Artificial Intelligence <strong>Deep Blue<\/strong> defeated the chess world champion Kasparov at his own game. We realised that an algorithm could be smarter than us.<\/p>\n<p>But were we really defeated by machines or rather by ourselves? After all, Deep Blue was programmed by Murray Campbell, definitely a human being.<\/p>\n<p>So why do we fear Artificial Intelligence this much? Antonio Casilli, sociologist and professor in Digital Humanities, once said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe robot myth has been used for centuries to discipline the workforce. Workers might be replaced first by a steam machine, next by an industrial machine and now by an intelligent machine.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"bk7up\">Are we overestimating Robots?<\/h2>\n<p>In the last few years, manufacturers showed us really awesome machines, capable of all sorts of things. We saw walking and jumping robots, industrial robots and even battlebots. They look fast, precise and efficient. But are they?<\/p>\n<p>Alex showed us the <strong>Tomra Sentinel II<\/strong>, a tomato sorting machine. Its purpose is to divide red and green tomatoes, but in the end some red tomatoes were rejected and some green passed the test.  Still impressive considering how fast it works, but far from being perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Another case could be moving robots. The <strong>Mini Cheetah<\/strong> from MIT is a great example of how robots should walk, recover from falling and so on. The problem is that the vast majority of robots have remarkable movement difficulties, like dropping themselves to the ground. Even the acclaimed Opportunity Rover can only probe or move, not both at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Robots clearly can\u2019t compete with us for now, especially on the movement side. But what about AI? Let\u2019s look at <strong>self-driving cars<\/strong>: obviously cars have great mobility on their terrain of choice, asphalt.<\/p>\n<p>After all, as Alex says, the comparison is between:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cState-of-the-art sensors VS primates in a metal box.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, if the \u201cstate-of-the-art sensors\u201d algorithms are correct, what could go wrong?<\/p>\n<p>A lot, apparently. Obviously, there have been huge improvements in the last few years, but the number of crashes per 1,000 miles occurring with a self-driving vehicle is still higher than with a human driver. Even considering drunk drivers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image regular \"><picture style=\"\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image1_61818e2aa035dd81449d5fbb434bbc89_800.jpg 1x\" media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image1_61818e2aa035dd81449d5fbb434bbc89_800.jpg 1x\" media=\"(min-width: 769px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image1_61818e2aa035dd81449d5fbb434bbc89_800.jpg\" \/><\/picture><\/figure>\n<p> Also, in the sector of driving AI, Google is not the only one working. This technology, of course, is appealing to a lot of companies so it\u2019s not hard to imagine a Tesla self-driving car or a BMW one. But what about a machine from a less expensive and less reliable company? After all<strong>, low cost options<\/strong> exist in every kind of business and, usually, they are the most popular. Are we ready for hundreds of buggy metal boxes speeding in our streets? Probably not.<\/p>\n<p>In 1962 the visionary science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe automobile of the day-after-tomorrow will not be driven by the owner, but by itself. It may be one day a serious offence to drive an automobile on a public highway.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> Unfortunately, \u201cthe day-after-tomorrow\u201d is yet to come.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"8p9s6\">What about Deep Learning?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Deep Learning<\/strong> is a branch of Machine Learning based on learning data representations instead of task-specific algorithms. As such, a machine implementing Deep Learning works similarly to a <strong>human<\/strong> <strong>neuron<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Chess is a very popular way to test your AI, so let\u2019s go back to that for a minute. <strong>Stockfish<\/strong>, the algorithm that won the 2016 Top Chess Engine Championship and was used by every human chess professional to train, has been annihilated by <strong>AlphaZero<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>AZ, an AI based on Deep Learning and produced by Google, won a 100-game match <strong>without a single loss<\/strong> after just nine hours of training. The chess world, as well as the Artificial Intelligence research world, was shocked by such an event.<\/p>\n<p>How was this possible? AlphaZero has been trained with more than <strong>5,000 Tensor Processing Units<\/strong> and runs on more than <strong>44 cores<\/strong> while Stockfish runs on a regular PC.<\/p>\n<p>And let\u2019s consider this: a complete neural network, just like the one AlfaZero uses, has roughly the power of a single human neuron. And we have billions.<\/p>\n<p>Moving on to <strong>Face<\/strong> <strong>Recognition<\/strong>, it can lead to hilarious problems. In general, humans are really good observers, amongst the best in nature, but when it comes to recognising patterns like scrambled images FR is really efficient. Nonetheless they are easily fooled, since one single wrong pixel is enough to trick a neural network.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image regular \"><picture style=\"\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image2_a800f0c8825fd158d1a742685ac29440_800.jpg 1x\" media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image2_a800f0c8825fd158d1a742685ac29440_800.jpg 1x\" media=\"(min-width: 769px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image2_a800f0c8825fd158d1a742685ac29440_800.jpg\" \/><\/picture><\/figure>\n<p> This and others are the reason why an AI specialised in Face Recognition gave the UK police a hard time. The system had a 92% of <strong>false<\/strong> <strong>positives<\/strong> that escalated quickly to an astonishing 100%. In case you\u2019re wondering, yes, they were fined for this.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"7hp7p\">So, should we use AI?<\/h2>\n<p>After all these considerations you could be skeptical about AI usage but, frankly, you shouldn\u2019t be. It\u2019s only a tool that we are still learning to use properly. Also, the problems that we discussed are only <strong>optimisation<\/strong> <strong>problems<\/strong> and they will surely be corrected.<\/p>\n<p>But we should remember the importance of <strong>ethics<\/strong> in building Artificial Intelligences. An AI could be easily misused by some dishonest politician. Today could be a \u201cvote-maximiser\u201d algorithm, but tomorrow, who knows?<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, algorithms tend to perpetuate their creator\u2019s beliefs and this leads to serious <strong>unfairness<\/strong> <strong>problems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>So you shouldn\u2019t be worried about AI stealing your work, at least for now.
