Artificial Intelligence Systems can be Fooled, Research Suggests

Despite all its benefits and the ease that technology has brought in, the fear that new-age technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and robotics would displace human jobs still looms. However, some researchers don't agree with the idea that technology would take away jobs from humans anytime soon. Some researchers at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the US conducted various experiments, which show the severe limitations of'deep learning' machines. "How smart is the form of AI known as deep learning computer networks, and how closely do these machines mimic the human brain? They have improved greatly in recent years, but still have a long way to go," reports a team of UCLA cognitive psychologists in the journal PLOS Computational Biology.
