Leabhair Jack Fisher saor in aisce,
Déan pictiúr den chás seo a leanas a d’fhéadfadh nó nach dtarlódh sé go coitianta go luath amach anseo. Ní turgnamh machnaimh é. Ní tuar é ach an oiread.

Tá tionscadal á mhaoiniú ag an Roinn Cosanta a dhéanfaidh iarracht a chinneadh an bhféadfadh sé go mbeadh sé dodhéanta go luath idirdhealú a dhéanamh idir an fhís agus an fhuaim bhréige atá ag éirí níos réadúla agus a ghineann hintleacht shaorga - fiú i gcás AI eile…

Ról AI sa todhchaí i ndáiríre a sheiceáil
Betanews
Mar anailísí, ba mhaith liom seiceálaí fíricí uilíoch a bheith agam. Rud éigin cosúil leis na brathadóirí aonocsaíde carbóin ar gach leibhéal de mo theach. Rud a chloisfeadh aláram nuair a bhíonn an baol ann go dtarlódh tachtadh intleachtúil ó thachtadh ar an mbalún a chuir lucht díolacháin áirithe, eagraíochtaí nuachta, rialtais agus oideachasóirí, mar shampla, chun cinn.

Why we stick to false beliefs: Feedback trumps hard evidence
Eolaíocht sa lá
