Who's afraid of Artificial Intelligence? With Marco Rossi

The Accutron Show

On this episode of The Accutron Show, our hosts dive into the ever-evolving discussion about Artificial Intelligence with Marco Rossi, Principal Data Scientist at Microsoft Research. AI is here and already changing the world and how humans operate; many are expressing fears and concerns that computers will replace humans in the most important roles and tasks. According to Rossi, fear is not the way to approach AI, rather, it needs to be used as a tool to allow humans to excel in many fields where they have been limited so far. What is your take on this subject? Join the conversation with Bill, David, and Scott for this episode of The Accutron Show podcast.

Episode Highlights

5:55 I am an optimist, right now AI should not be approached with fear. It needs to be considered a tool that is created by humans and that should help humans to solve big equations. If we give competence to AI, humans may lose that competence but at the same time gain "free" time and intelligence to develop other competencies.

23:00 Intelligence is the ability to learn, strategize, and solve a problem. So we are not dealing simply with machines, but with an entity that is able to learn and strategize. However, the responsibility of how to use such knowledge lies in the user.

29:00 To the people that ask me "Is it okay for my child to have AI write their school papers?" I answer, "If for you it's more available that your child spends time developing or working on other skills, rather than spending hours and days writing the paper, then go for it."
