Artificial Intelligence
Behaviour by a machine that, if performed by a human, would be considered intelligent
Humans and technology are symbiotic Symbiosis is scary Kasparov vs Deep Blue Centaur Chess
Symbiosis
Is AI an artificial human? Reality
AI can do
• Bespoke to standardized, then systemized, then packaged, then commoditized, then automated
• Eg: • Gathering facts from a client and organising them; • Giving advice on discrete questions; • Writing letters of response within a confined field; • Negotiating terms within a certain bound; and • Making decisions based on agreed facts.
• “Automatic” thinking vs mindful • Millions of AI legal decisions in Australia each year
