There’s a big problem with AI: even its creators can’t explain how it works

MIT Technology Review

We need more than a glimpse of AI’s thinking and there is no easy solution.

There’s a big problem with AI: even its creators can’t explain how it works

No one really knows how the most advanced algorithms do what they do. That could be a problem.

" a strong university"或" stronger universities"

我約20年前與Herbert A. Simon (1916-2001)談"大學"，他採用的形容詞是strong：" a strong university"或" stronger universities"，而不是"世界排行第幾名的大學"。

IBM and MIT Bet That Materials and Quantum Advances Will Supercharge AI

A new center at MIT could advance artificial intelligence and help IBM reestablish itself as a leader in the field.

Anew $240 million center at MIT may help advance the field of artificial intelligence by developing novel devices and materials to power the latest machine-learning algorithms. It could, perhaps, also help IBM reclaim its reputation for doing cutting-edge AI.

The project, announced by IBM and MIT today, will research new approaches in deep learning, a technique in AI that has led to big advances in areas such as machine vision and voice recognition. But it will also explore completely new computing devices, materials, and physical phenomena, including efforts to harness quantum computers—exotic but potentially very powerful new machines—to make AI even more capable.

“A lot of innovation is happening using standard silicon and architectures, but what about the devices and the material science?” says Dario Gill, vice president of AI at IBM Research. “It’s an area no one is touching, and it has the potential for orders-of-magnitude improvements.”

The center will also look at ways that AI can be more effectively deployed in industries like health care and security. And it will study the economic impact of artificial intelligence and automation, a hugely significant issue for society.

The move is significant for MIT. The university was at the forefront of AI research during the 1950s, but the field’s center of gravity has moved westward more recently, with big tech companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon leading the charge.

The investment also signals a shift for IBM. The company pushed AI forward by developing Deep Blue, a machine that beat the world chess champion, Garry Kasparov, in 1997 (see “How the Chess Was Won”). The Watson supercomputer that won the game show Jeopardy! in 2010 used cutting-edge machine-learning and natural-language processing techniques. In recent years, however, other companies have stolen the limelight in AI research, and the company has sometimes been accused of over-hyping the AI services available under the Watson brand...
