The nuances of human language and speech are not easy to master.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology evolves every day. The rate at which it evolves today is exponentially greater than the rate at which it evolved even 10 years ago. Video quality improvements, more automation, robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence are all on the list of technology that changes every day. As we dive farther into automation, we are learning how ML and AI can help us automate even more tasks. Businesses worldwide are beginning to look at implementing AI in some fashion to assist with business operations, which is a great thing, but AI still has limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing we fail, as humans, to understand is the nuances of our languages. Not just English, but every language. The same word can have different meanings depending on context. Machines do not understand context, they don\u2019t understand emotion in tone of voice. At least, not yet. Which is one of the reasons AI is limited. Another limitation is that AI is based on ML that is trained by humans. So if the training data is skewed in any way, any machine trained on it will be skewed as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at a real-life example of AI getting it wrong. Last year, Antonio Radi\u0107, who hosts a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCL5YbN5WLFD8dLIegT5QAbA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chess channel on YouTube<\/a> had a video cut off during a live-stream. He was interviewing a grandmaster when the broadcast abruptly cut out, with viewers being told that the video was removed for \u201charmful and dangerous\u201d content. Radi\u0107 has over one million subscribers on YouTube. The channel remained offline for 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There still aren\u2019t answers as to why the video was interrupted and taken down mid-stream, YouTube has only said that the removal was a mistake. It\u2019s likely that mistake is due, in part, to artificial intelligence programs that are designed to detect misinformation, abuse and hate speech. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/why-youtube-chat-chess-flagged-hate-speech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wired<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cs.cmu.edu\/~akhudabu\/\">Ashique KhudaBukhsh<\/a>, a project scientist who specializes in AI at Carnegie Mellon University, and a serious chess player himself, wondered if YouTube\u2019s algorithm may have been confused by discussions involving black and white pieces, attacks, and defenses. So he and a colleague created an experiment, at the end of which it was determined that without having a human in the loop, off-the-shelf classifiers\u2019 predictions on chess discussions can be misleading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chess pieces are typically black and white, but without the context of them being gamepieces, AI cannot determine if there is hate speech involved or not. AI can\u2019t just look for specific words and phrases, the algorithm used has to infer the meaning from a string of words. Asking a machine to infer something can only work when appropriate parameters are set.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFundamentally, language is still a very subtle thing,\u201d says <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cs.cmu.edu\/~tom\/\">Tom Mitchell<\/a>, a CMU professor who has previously worked with KhudaBukhsh. \u201cThese kinds of trained classifiers are not soon going to be 100 percent accurate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Language is going to be a persistent problem for AI, likely for years to come. If you think about it, though, humans take YEARS to learn new languages. And we understand context! A machine has to be programmed to recognize context, which means the programmers have to give it as many options as possible to choose from.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another aspect of limitations in AI comes in the training data. If companies are using the likes of Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms for training data, AI will never be unbiased. Humans are inherently biased, it\u2019s just how we are made. We do our best to overcome these biases and accept differing opinions as best we can, but we are not perfect. Which means AI is not perfect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cool thing about AI, though, is that it doesn\u2019t HAVE to be perfect. Humans are still needed to make knowledge-based decisions and form opinions based on life experiences. Can AI learn through those things? Yes, and AI will continue to learn and improve and become more reliable the longer we use it. But it is incredibly important that businesses know the limitations of the tool and technology they are using.  AI is incredibly complicated. In order to effectively and successfully implement the use of ML and AI in business, it is vital that an expert in the field is consulted, if not hired to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwvconsultants.com\/blog\/artificial-intelligence-machine-learning-help-achieve-sustainability\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI and ML are definitely the next big thing in technology<\/a>, they are going to pave the way for the next round of innovations that propel our planet forward. It must be handled appropriately, and humans must learn that even AI has to be verified once in a while!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI is what will propel our world forward as it advances.
