How do we maintain control over the
machine?

Occam’s Razor “Other things being equal,
simpler explanations are generally better
than more complex ones“
Parsimony – Computer Science – use
simple models with few rules and few
parameters; fewer lines of codeTheoretical Computer Science - you have
parsimonious reductions (counting problem of solutions for Search)
High R²

Control is easier when the machine is a 12-Year-Old It can do a repetitive simple chore very wellFor AI – simple is a robot vacuuming the house But it can learn the types of dirt and stains the vacuum picks up
For ML – simple control is data science

Controlling a complex machineThis is where human morality, ethics and virtue come in
The ethical human is more likely to train the machine ethically

The Turing Test: Can a machine think?
“If the output of the machine is
indistinguishable from that of a human brain, then we
have no meaningful reason to insist that the
machine is not thinking.” The Innovators by Walter Isaacson, pg. 124

The Imitation Game: SQL vs. No SQL
• NoSQL Cluster Data Monster
• Spark• MongoDB• Kafka• Cassandra• Elasticsearch• The 4 V’s of Big Data• MLlib
• MySQL Kitty Cat• Relational and Structured
Database• Vertical scaling• MySQL• SparkSQL (“Dataframes”)• RMySQL• Various Cloud SQLs

Do you ignore certain types of data? Room A – The NoSQl Data Monster Room B – MySQL Kitty Cat Room C- The Human
Execute the “Big Data” Turing Test

IBM Watson Health usually plays nice with doctors
Instead of basically saying “I’m correct…do this”
“There is a 40% probability that you will like this recommendation.”
Take a look at what I say and check for yourself
Human – Computer HybridAugmented Intelligence
What if we just make the machine collegial?

RoboEthics: The TARS Humor Setting
“Hey TARS, bring the humor setting down to 75”

TARS Is a Bad BoyTARS: “I have plenty of slaves for my robot colony.”
TARS: “You can use it to make your way back to the ship when I blow you out of the airlock

TARS is a Good Boy - But is collegial AI the same as ethical AI?

Keep it simple and elegant
Train the 12-year-old
Human is the “Hero” (ethical and virtuous training)
Is it our “biggest existential threat?”
Conclusion
