The Human Side of Artificial Intelligence - ExtremeTech

One of the central goals of AI is to generate a model representing patterns in data which can be used for something practical like prediction of the behavior of a complex biological or physical system. Models are usually evaluated using objective computational or mathematical criteria such as execution time, prediction accuracy, or reproducibility. However, there are many subjective criteria which may be important to the human user of the AI. For example, a model relating genetic variation to disease risk might be more useful if it included genes with protein products amenable to drug development and targeting. This is a subjective criterion which may only be of interest to the person utilizing the AI.
