The Man & Machine Issue: Artificial Intelligence vs. Human Behavior CleanTechnica

The world is currently discussing if artificial systems are good or bad, will help us or destroy us, and if they will ever function or not, and by doing that people make the mistake of actually trying to answer the wrong question. As of today, the biggest question about artificial intelligence is not the system itself, but the biggest challenge is the interface consequences between the human and the machine, or to be more precise the system existent out of two elements -- a carbon and a silicon body. We all have learned in our life how difficult, dangerous, or even fatal the coordination, cooperation, and operation between these two objects -- the human and a machine -- can be, and some of us may have been hurt by it or even worse. At least I can say I have been many times, and if you read the news today you will certainly find many other examples. This has been true since humans invented the first machines moved by any energy form, be it animals, steam, or oil, and it is true for the new era we are entering -- a time when software-driven artificial intelligence performs better in defined areas than a human will ever be.
