Jordan, a leading researcher in <strong>AI <\/strong>and machine learning. Jordan is a professor in the department of electrical engineering and computer science, and the department of statistics, at the University of California, Berkeley.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Their principal role, he says, is to \u201caugment human intelligence, via painstaking analysis of large data sets in much the way that a search engine augments human knowledge by organizing the Web.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We see the their value in many fields today. For example, machine learning can motor through&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mindmatters.ai\/2020\/09\/how-much-can-new-ai-tell-us-about-ancient-times\/\">thousands<\/a>&nbsp;of ancient cuneiform texts that may yield valuable information but no human has the thousands of hours a year that would be required to find out. It can decipher a charred, unwrappable scroll from an ancient synagogue fire that turns out to be a portion of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mindmatters.ai\/2019\/11\/does-ai-challenge-biblical-archeology\/\">Book of Leviticus,<\/a>&nbsp;the oldest authentic manuscript found so far. It can motor through largely unchanging skies, detecting the faintest ripple, which astronomers&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mindmatters.ai\/2019\/11\/will-ai-end-astrophysics-as-we-know-it\/\">can then analyze<\/a>&nbsp;\u2014making their research time much more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But ask <strong>AI <\/strong>what it all really means and you will not get so much as a blank stare. (Or, depending on the program, you could get a vast autobabble from the internet of various pundit\u2019s opinions \u2014 which may be a mere distraction at the time.)  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?rct=j&amp;sa=t&amp;url=https:\/\/mindmatters.ai\/2021\/04\/ai-researcher-stop-calling-everything-artificial-intelligence\/&amp;ct=ga&amp;cd=CAEYASoTNDM0MDg1NDIzNzIwNDQyMzY0MzIaNDc3ZTJlNTE2ZWYxZDQ3OTpjb206ZW46VVM&amp;usg=AFQjCNG33z_b0TzDSNWjveGLAL3rd6W9Ng\">Read On:<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Computer scientist\u00a0Michael I.
