A.I. and Machine Learning still needs a helping hand from Human Intelligence (H.I.) - The data blog

With A.I. it's sometimes easy to get ahead of ourselves. Yes, it's true, "computers are going to take over from humans, no question" (Steve Wozniak), and while it is also probably true that soon enough we will all be made into paperclips by a super-intelligent machine that lacks human values, we still have some time. Despite his apocalyptic paperclip predictions (slightly taken out of context) Nick Bostrom would still "assign less than a 50% probability to super-intelligence being developed by 2033". It turns out that A.I. is still hard. Take Microsoft's Tay for example, an A.I. chat bot built to speak'like a teen girl' and be a virtual friend on social media.
