Key point #1: AI is an umbrella term for a set of loosely related technologies. *Some* of those technologies have made genuine, remarkable, and widely-publicized progress recently. But companies exploit public confusion by slapping the “AI” label on whatever they’re selling.

Key point #2: Many dubious applications of AI involve predicting social outcomes: who will succeed at a job, which kids will drop out, etc. We can’t predict the future — that should be common sense. But we seem to have decided to suspend common sense when “AI” is involved.

There’s evidence from many domains, including prediction of criminal risk, that machine learning using hundreds of features is only slightly more accurate than random, and no more accurate than simple linear regression with three or four features—basically a manual scoring rule.

Key point #3: transparent, manual scoring rules for risk prediction can be a good thing! Traffic violators get points on their licenses and those who accumulate too many points are deemed too risky to drive. In contrast, using “AI” to suspend people’s licenses would be dystopian.pic.twitter.com/05gJHwckZi

Question: for this slide, are the the average R² for the models, or the best R²s, or something else? Just having a bit of trouble understanding it!pic.twitter.com/hqrHQdbFbn

They are the best R^2s!

Although I agree with you in general, is bad to generalize. One social counter-example: prediction of risk of dyslexia in children using a game. The sooner a child sees an specialist, better the intervention that can save a child from failing school.

Thank you for the example. I would appreciate references to studies if you know of any.

Hi Arvind, I thought these slides were great and am referencing them in a paper I am writing on how AI is changing people management, can you give me more details of the talk (when, where etc.) so I can reference it properly?
