Andrew Ng, without a discernible trace of irony or having apparently learned anything since before AlphaGo, does the thing:
Last weekend, my two kids colluded in a hilariously bad attempt to mislead me to look in the wrong place during a game of hide-and-seek. I was reminded that most capabilities — in humans or in AI — develop slowly.
Some people fear that AI someday will learn to deceive humans deliberately. If that ever happens, I’m sure we will see it coming from far away and have plenty of time to stop it.
While I was counting to 10 with my eyes closed, my daughter (age 5) recruited my son (age 3) to tell me she was hiding in the bathroom while she actually hid in the closet. But her stage whisper, interspersed with giggling, was so loud I heard her instructions clearly. And my son’s performance when he pointed to the bathroom was so hilariously overdramatic, I had to stifle a smile.
Perhaps they will learn to trick me someday, but not yet!
