Is reliable artificial intelligence possible?

He will be discussing the topic at this year's edition of South by South West on March 14th in Austin, Texas. For EPFL theoretical biologist Marcel Salathé, the answer is invariably yes. To him, a more fundamental question that needs to be addressed is who owns that artificial intelligence? "We have to hold AI accountable, and the only way to do this is to verify it for biases and make sure there is no deliberate misinformation," says Salathé. "This is not possible if the AI is privatized." So what exactly is AI? It is generally regarded as "intelligence exhibited by machines".
