AI Skeptics Podcast: The AI Bubble Episode (with Tom Adams)

    Thank you for your insights. I am happy to see others equally skeptical about AI. In manufacturing, I see small scale use of Machine Learning Models that look promising. At the plant floor and enterprise level, I don’t see AI succeeding.

    For one, there is very little conversation about data. There is a lot of poor data, either inaccurate or strongly biased. I also wonder if enterprise level applications will stifle experimentation and creativity. We already see organizations turning research over to Chinese organizations. My biggest concern here is that, over time, historical information would result from AI based decisions, including embedded biases and errors. With apologies, I often refer to this as AI self gratification.

    Currently, AI looks to me as a newer version of crypto. It comes with a lot of hype, but doesn’t scale to its promise. I question that the only real objective is to make lots of money for a few people until it eventually becomes inconsequential.
