THE INMATES ARE RUNNING THE ASYLUM: AI is being developed by AI only

We all know that AI is generated through the data produced by humans but now, few companies are using ‘synthetic data’ to develop AI, in other words, bots are training bots.?

Synthetic data is automatically generated data that mimics the characteristics of real-world data. It uses algorithms and statistical models and can be used to train Machine learning models when real-time data is either not available or not feasible. Microsoft and OpenAI are actively researching synthetic data to train their large language models (LLMs) as the cost-effectiveness of synthetic data compared to expensive human-created data. Apart from this, the existing human-generated data is already being utilized, and to further enhance these models, more data will be required.

WHAT IS AI BLACK BOX ??

Indeed many developers have failed to understand exactly how the AI algorithms work. Data is critical to AI. Developers need clean, high-quality datasets to build machine learning systems that are accurate and reliable. AI black box is a situation in which the decision-making process of an AI system is not visible to users. In other words, the user does not know what made AI take this decision or recommendation.

Is this problematic?? Well, yes !!

Lack of transparency can lead to errors and biases which can harm human lives. James Manyika admitted that even though they had not trained their experimental AI in Bengali, the model had picked up the language as well as a few of its dialects, and perfected it.

This sort of behavior, where an AI model teaches itself things is called emergent properties, and it is virtually impossible to stop AI models from doing it, without destroying it.
