Isn't that enough?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Although I have a background in AI (and spent the first seven years of my career in AI), my specific job doesn't require me to know AI concepts although the app I work on uses ML and predictive analysis because it operates on a large corpus of data. Wow, that's a long sentence.

In college the AI course I took was based on neural net using LISP taught by Michael Dertouzos. In my mind, a far cry from what is called AI nowadays.
But I never wave bye bye

Glad to help. Took me a second too.

The two or three of us with real intelligence to try to keep things moving along.
The rest? Management, for example, obviously have Artificial Intelligence because they don't have any of the real thing.

Don't remember who told it, but...
Artificial Intelligence might be the cure for natural stupidity.
The real question is, what kind of cure?
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I've selected I'm learning AI because I think I'll need it in the job market .
But I believe there should've been another option as well.
I'm learning AI but I don't think job market would significantly rely on it.
There is & will be a lot beyond AI, so flow of work is least of my worries. I'm learning purely because of interest in subject.

Correct, and there is another one : "I am learning AI because I think I will need it in my future software projects", as this is also a possibility, having less relation with job market and more relation with improving software/system performance ...

It's all Machine Learning, finding patterns in big enough data sets.
That's not intelligence, that's statistics that are too big for humans to do.
Not trying to downplay ML by the way, it can be applied to do pretty amazing stuff!
However, (true) AI is something out of sci-fi movies and games (for now).
So, will ML be important for my job?
Probably not in the near future.

Ok your are right - but a lot of decisions are really simple for some software packed with the marketing badge "AI".
Press F1 for help or google it.

This is an interesting explanation that I was not aware of.
I must confess, I have allowed myself to become rather ignorant to this ML/AI stuff (in my understanding of it), even at a basic fundamental level - reason I really need to learn the basics so I understand.

Here's another problem with AI which has nothing to do with the technical aspect of it: do we even know what intelligence is?
It's people saying you're so smart, but you wouldn't last a day out in the jungle!
Now there are people living in the jungle, who can't do math or speak a foreign language, but they literally live in the same jungle you wouldn't survive for a day.
Some people are considered highly intelligent, yet they can't talk to people.
So who's the smart one, how do we measure intelligence?
We have IQ tests, but the highly intelligent person would ace it, yet wouldn't be able to sell their ideas or even implement someone else's and the jungle people would not even know what it is yet survive in the jungle.
Now, if we have no clear definition of intelligence, how can we re-create it or recognize it if we did?

I find it amusing that AI can overlearn, create conspiracy theories instead of useful knowlage.

Agreed, and I used to interpret this name a bit as "Licentia Poetica" ... Inner workings of this are more relevant of course ...

Actually, AI would be a great tool for our applications. Several kinds of disturbances during a hazard detection process could be much better tackled with AI than with our current voodoo.
But AI relies on data. I created a tool for collecting the data on our customer installations, 2 years ago. Never has it been activated...
Instead, we'll have many more talks on refining our voodoo.
So, AI would actually be good for us, but with the current environment, I won't need it.
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

AI is usually considered safe when used as a tool where human lives are not at stake...currently. There is much debate on this subject at the moment.
So, yes, if you can use AI in troubleshooting, forecasting/predicting issues and pro-actively resolving them, then that would be great for any team/shop/app that it would benefit.
I voted that I don't know AI but that I think it is important for me to learn. I really need to learn the fundamentals of AI, for starters, even though I have no need for them in my current position.
