While there’s a ton of unbounded optimism from vendor marketing and consultant types, practitioners are still reserving a lot of judgment.

What Cybersecurity Pros Really Think About Artificial Intelligence

It is pure imaginary fear. What if we were told of a device that will give answer to your questions. People won’t want that to happen. We call it “ Siri ” these days. Google assistant and Cortana would have drawn the blood out if we have heard of them in early 90s.

Not sure it is imaginary if you consider the fact that the Facebook AI platform was shut down because it started speaking in it’s own language that only the bots themselves understood.

That is an exaggeration. I saw the screen shots and read the news. It started communicating like

1 - abgd
2 - gbad
1- dkbh

It is more or less like a child’s language. It is not a language at all. It simply de-railed. If a train got off the track and is running through pure mud, what will you call it ? AI train making its own path, or train lost control ?

That is media making a news out of it.

mvp It’s not an exaggeration. The entire point of the words being used out of sync is that they only make sense to the AI platform and not humans. Facebook isn’t the only AI this has happened to.

I like to believe that AI is a parrot. It mimics what we put into it. Perhaps I am wrong. 🙂
