ALL intelligence "needs uncertainty". Not just "Artificial Intelligence"
Here is one of the “least expected research findings” of the century:
- “AI will make better decisions by embracing uncertainty."
- other notable quote from that article: ArtificialIntelligence research shows that “To become truly intelligent, machines need a sense of the unknown”
Big deal. Who would have thought? So do human beings. Never forget it. Never trust human beings who are absolutely certain about everything they know, or do. As William of Baskerville says in “The Name of the rose”: “What terrifies you most in purity?” “Haste”
To be intelligent, artificial intelligence needs uncertainty. Gee, who could have imagined that?
