AI Is Wrong More Often Than You Think&#8221;<\/i><\/h6>\n<p>\n&#8220;ANY TECHNOLOGY THAT seeks to manipulate or sort through human language is confronted with one inescapable fact: Our online writing is a mess. We humans are an error-prone bunch&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The original article rightly points out the unnerving reality that human online language is an intricate labyrinth of cryptic expressions, typos, and a cavalcade of emojis. It&#8217;s no wonder that AI, with its logical-to-a-fault and binary nature, is often caught off guard, like a deer in headlights. For Artificial Intelligence, learning to interpret, comprehend, and respond to this &#8216;creative&#8217; human lexicon is akin to trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle on a rollercoaster.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a stroll through the world of fact-checking AI. No, don&#8217;t fear, it isn&#8217;t another Terminator sequel, but it is definitely an adventurous ride. Hop on!<\/p>\n<p>Understanding and deciphering human language are two sides of one coin. While &#8216;Alexa&#8217; and &#8216;Siri&#8217;, have passed this challenge with flying colors to some extent, there are colossal barriers yet to overcome when it comes to text interpretation. So here is the ultimate catch-22: we need AI to understand our gobbledygook, but our nonsensical jargon is precisely what has our beloved bots doing the silicon equivalent of scratching their heads. How refreshingly ironic!<\/p>\n<p>To draw an analogy, &#8216;fact-checking AI&#8217; is like a diligent student hell-bent on unravelling the nuances of human language, but always being tripped up by a casual typo or falling into the abyss of colloquial expressions. It\u2019s earnestly trying to master this course called human communication for its final exam \u2013 to filter fake news. <\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, AI is asked to stop the dam of fake news from breaking body and soul on social media. It&#8217;s like, &#8220;Hey AI, help us sort through this colossal digital trash heap of misinformation and find that tiny speck of truth, will ya?&#8221; It&#8217;s a 24\/7 job with no weekends off, and no HR department to complain to &#8211; tough gig!<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side, newest algorithms such as Roberta, BERT, and GPT-3 (These are AI models, not the latest robotic boy band) are upgrading the way AI understands text. It\u2019s like a futuristic Babelfish, interpreting the tower of babel that is our modern language. <\/p>\n<p>But in the midst of all this algorithmic alchemy, hesitate for a second and ponder \u2013 interpreting and understanding are one thing, but how far are we from making AI &#8216;think&#8217;? That, dear readers, is the real conundrum, the ultimate Rubik&#8217;s cube that needs to be solved.<\/p>\n<p>After all, we don&#8217;t want a future where a well-meaning AI observes a human writing &#8220;LOL&#8221; and promptly calls an ambulance for a potential cardiac arrest situation. Now that would be the ultimate AI blooper, right?<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/fact-checking-ai\/\">Read the original article here: https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/fact-checking-ai\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With human\u2019s love for linguistic chaos, our online language mess proves a curious conundrum for AI, and especially for fact-checking algorithms, leading to some high-stake adventures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3740,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","bwp-masonry-item","bwp-col-3"],"acf":[],"_wp_page_template":null,"_edit_lock":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3741"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3741\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
