EXCERPTS: Top researchers this week said scientific discoveries using AI, like new drugs or better disaster forecasting, offer a way to win people's trust in the technology, but they also cautioned against moving too fast. Why it matters: Public trust in AI is eroding, putting the technology's wide adoption and potential benefits at risk.
[...] Experts at the London event highlighted AI as a scientific tool and argued that the scientific method will best serve researchers seeking to leverage advanced AI models and fathom their complexity.
But, the painstaking, thorough work of science can be at odds with the "move fast break things" ethos of the tech industry that is driving AI's development. Scientists in the U.S. also face a tide of skepticism about their work.
What they're saying: "I think the scientific method is, arguably, maybe the greatest idea humans have ever had," DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis told the London gathering. "More than ever we need to anchor around the method in today's world, especially with something as powerful and potentially transformative as AI," he said, adding that he thinks neuroscience techniques should be used to analyze AI "brains."
