The problem with using AI with sensors is that you do not have control over the result. If you cannot predict what the output will be, you have a high risk system, which should be avoided for anything…

I think it's essentially "applied statistics"; a turn on prior work on data mining. I did research in symbolic reasoning for about 30 years, and while I think learning is essential, what's being called…

Yes. Unfortunately the tech crowd want their software to seem snazzy, so they call it AI. Probably not an ideal image because the average person doesn't think AI is snazzy, they just think it is scary…

If you cannot predict what the output will be, you have a high risk system, which should be avoided for anything involving humans.

What they call AI these days isn't really what AI was originally conceived to represent. The concept has mostly been dumbed down to practical and specific correlations found in limited datasets.

I think it's essentially "applied statistics"; a turn on prior work on data mining. I did research in symbolic reasoning for about 30 years, and while I think learning is essential, what's being called "learning" is what we used to call "adaptation". It's useful, of course, but not really representative of human or even animal intelligence.
