A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

    on the contrary! it’s a very old buzzword!

    AI should be called machine learning. much better. If i had my way it would be called “fancy curve fitting” henceforth.

      Technically speaking AI is any effort on the part of machines to mimic living things. So computer vision for instance. This is distinct from ML and Deep Learning which use historical statistical data to train on and then forecast or simulate.

        “machines mimicking living things” does not mean exclusively AI. Many scientific fields are trying to mimic living things.

        AI is a very hazy concept imho as it’s difficult to even define when a system is intelligent - or when a human is.

          That’s not what I said.

          What I typed there is not my opinion.

          This the technical, industry distinction between AI and things like ML and Neural networks.

          “Mimicking living things” is obviously not exclusive to AI. It is exclusive to AI as compared to ML, for instance.
