In 2018 I was chosen to do an internal corporate “Ted talk” about cognitive biases and ML biases and how they can inform each other to help reduce bias, misunderstanding, and errors.
I talked a bit about AlphaGo Game 2 Move 37 and the reaction of all the “experts” to it being a mistake, an AI screwup, and going against 2000 years of Go wisdom.
As many people now know, AlphaGo made a brilliant move beyond human understanding.
This is one of many reasons why I don’t underestimate the power of ML/AI research, implementation, and potential.
