Discussion

1. Do you agree that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used as “intelligence amplifiers” that offer an important boost for human creativity?
2. What do you think of the output of the AI program ( GPT-2) to automatically write a simple policy statement about ethics policies for A.I. systems, which said: “Decision systems that assume predictability about human behavior can be prone to error. These are the errors of a data-driven society…Recognizing these issues will ensure that we are able to use the tools that humanity has entrusted to us to address the most pressing rights and security challenges of our time.” ? That’s 100% written by an AI.
