How Much Can We Trust AI?

Artificial intelligence software gets more sophisticated almost every day. Computers can already beat human experts at chess, stock market predictions, and detecting cancer. Yet most machine learning experts believe we shouldn't hand over complete control to AI-powered robots any time soon. "We don't trust autonomous vehicles yet, despite the fact that they rarely make mistakes, because the cost of error is too high," New York University professor Vasant Dhar, who also founded one of the longest running AI-powered hedge funds, told International Business Times. "It takes a while to learn the machine learning program's style. Just like humans, programs have their own style."
