“As we’ve seen, there are many ways to accidentally sabotage an AI by giving it faulty or inadequate data. **But there’s another kind of AI failure in which we discover that they’ve succeeded in doing what we asked, but what we asked them to do isn’t what we actually wanted them to do.** Why are AIs so prone to solving the wrong problem? 1. They develop their own ways of solving a problem rather than relying on step-by-step instructions from a programmer. 2. They lack the contextual knowledge to understand when their solutions are not what humans would have preferred.” --- **Tags** — [[quotes]], [[artificial-intelligence]], [[ai-problems]] **Source** — [[202307171347 — B — You Look Like a Thing and I Love You]]
