Attitudes towards artificial intelligence.

A artificial intelligence, AI, can already predict the future.

Police forces are using it to map when and where crime is likely to occur.

Doctors can use it to predict when a patient is most likely to have a heart attack or stroke.

Researchers are even trying to give AI imagination so it can plan for unexpected consequences.

Many decisions in our lives require a good forecast, and AI is almost always better at forecasting than we are.

Yet for all these technological advances, we still seem to deeply lack confidence in AI predictions.

Recent cases show that people don't like relying on AI and prefer to trust human experts, even if these experts are wrong.

If we want AI to really benefit people, we need to find a way to get people to trust it.

To do that, we need to understand why people are so reluctant to trust AI in the first place.

They take the case of Watson for Oncology, one of technology giant IBM's supercomputer programs.

Their attempt to promote this program to cancer doctors was a PR disaster.

The AI promised to deliver top-quality recommendations on the treatment of 12 cancers that accounted for 80% of the world's cases.

But when doctors first interacted with Watson, they found themselves in a rather difficult situation.

On the one hand, if Watson provided guidance about a treatment that coincided with their own opinions, physicians did not see much point in Watson's recommendations.

The supercomputer was simply telling them what they already knew, and these recommendations did not change the actual treatment.

On the other hand, if Watson generated a recommendation that contradicted the expert's opinion, doctors would typically conclude that Watson wasn't competent.

And the machine wouldn't be able to explain why its treatment was plausible

because its machine learning algorithms were simply too complex to be fully understood by humans.

Consequently, this has caused even more suspicion and disbelief,

leading many doctors to ignore the seemingly outlandish AI recommendations and stick to their own expertise.

See this as just one example of people's lack of confidence in AI

and their reluctance to accept what Al has to offer.

Trust in other people is often based on our understanding of how others think and having experience of their reliability.

This helps create a psychological feeling of safety.

Al, on the other hand, is still fairly new and unfamiliar to most people.

Even if it can be technically explained, and that's not always the case, AI's decision-making process is usually too difficult for most people to comprehend.

And interacting with something we don't understand can cause anxiety and give us a sense that we're losing control.

Many people are also simply not familiar with many instances of AI actually working because it often happens in the background.

Instead, they are acutely aware of instances where AI goes wrong.

Embarrassing AI failures receive a disproportionate amount of media attention, emphasizing the message that we cannot rely on technology.

Machine learning is not foolproof, in part because the humans who design it aren't.

Deep feelings about AI run deep.

In a recent experiment, people from a range of backgrounds were given various sci-fi films about AI to watch

and then asked questions about automation in everyday life.

It was found that, regardless of whether the film they watched depicted Al in a positive or negative light,

simply watching a cinematic vision of our technological future polarize the participants' attitudes.

Optimists became more extreme in their enthusiasm for AI and skeptics became even more guarded.

This suggests people use relevant evidence about AI in a biased manner to support their existing attitudes,

a deep-rooted human tendency known as confirmation bias.

As L is represented more and more in media and entertainment, it could lead to a society split between those who benefit from AI and those who reject it.

More pertinently, refusing to accept the advantages offered by AI could place a large group of people at a serious disadvantage.

Unfortunately, we already have some ideas about how to improve trust in AI.

Simply having previous experience with AI can significantly improve people's opinions about the technology, as was found in the study mentioned above.

Evidence also suggests the more you use other technologies such as the internet, the more you trust them.

Another solution may be to reveal more about the algorithms which our users and the purposes they serve.

Several high-profile social media companies and online marketplaces already released transparency reports about government requests and surveillance disclosures.

A similar practice for AI could help people have a better understanding of the way algorithmic decisions are made.

If research suggests that allowing people some control over AI decision-making could also improve trust

and enable AI to learn from human experience.

For example, one study showed that when people were allowed the freedom to slightly modify an algorithm, they felt more satisfied with its decisions,

more likely to believe it was superior and more likely to use it in the future.

We don't need to understand the intricate inner workings of AI systems, but if people are given a degree of responsibility for how they are implemented,

they will be more willing to accept GAL into their lives.

FOR YOU

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
