Phronesis of AI in radiology: Superhuman meets natural stupidity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Advances in AI in the last decade have clearly made economists, politicians, journalists, and citizenry in general believe that the machines are coming to take human jobs. We review 'superhuman' AI performance claims in radiology and then provide a self-reflection on our own work in the area in the form of a critical review, a tribute of sorts to McDermotts 1976 paper, asking the field for some self-discipline. Clearly there is an opportunity to replace humans, but there are better opportunities, as we have discovered to fit cognitive abilities of human and non-humans. We performed one of the first studies in radiology to see how human and AI performance can complement and improve each others performance for detecting pneumonia in chest X-rays. We question if there is a practical wisdom or phronesis that we need to demonstrate in AI today as well as in our field. Using this, we articulate what AI as a field has already and probably can in the future learn from Psychology, Cognitive Science, Sociology and Science and Technology Studies.

AISC Meets Natural Typography
McDermott [12,13] introduced the concept “Artificial Intelligence meets Natural Stupidity”. In this paper, we explore how Artificial Intelligence and Symbolic Computation can meet Natural Typography, and how the conventions for expressing mathematics that humans understand can cause us difficulties when designing mechanised systems.
متن کاملAn Evaluation of the Concept of ‘Stupidity’ in “Nahj al-Balagheh”
‘Stupidity’ is one of the topics in the field of behavioral abnormalities discussed by psychologists. Imam Ali (a.s.), who has made special efforts to correct behavioral abnormalities, has dealt with ‘stupidity’ in numerous cases in “Nahj al-Balagheh”. The present study seeks to examine the components of ‘stupidity’ from the perspective of “Nahj al-Balagheh”. It was carried out using the descri...
متن کاملWhy an Intelligence Explosion is Probable
The hypothesis is considered that: Once an AI system with roughly human-level general intelligence is created, an “intelligence explosion” involving the relatively rapid creation of increasingly more generally intelligent AI systems will very likely ensue, resulting in the rapid emergence of dramatically superhuman intelligences. Various arguments against this hypothesis are considered and foun...
متن کاملStupidity and the Ouroboros Model
Since decades Artificial Intelligence is striving for an understanding and the production of general intelligence. In an attempt to put the relevant issues into a wider frame, the question shall be asked whether something could be learned from agents or situations characterized by an obvious lack of intelligence, i.e. “stupidity”. The Ouroboros Model is a novel proposal for a biologically inspi...
متن کاملImplications of a Software-Limited Singularity
Anumber of prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers and commentators (Moravec 1999a; Solomonoff 1985; Vinge 1993) have presented versions of the following argument: 1. Continued exponential improvement in computer hardware will deliver inexpensive processing power exceeding that of the human brain within the next several decades. 2. If human-level processing power were inexpensive, th...
