They are showing human-level competence in low-level pattern recognition skills, but at the cognitive level they are merely imitating human intelligence, not engaging deeply and creatively, says Michael I. Jordan, a leading researcher in 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

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

We see the their value in many fields today. For example, machine learning can motor through thousands<\/a> 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 Book of Leviticus,<\/a> the oldest authentic manuscript found so far. It can motor through largely unchanging skies, detecting the faintest ripple, which astronomers can then analyze<\/a> \u2014making their research time much more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But ask 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.)
