Security News > 2020 > April > Let’s be realistic about our expectations of AI

Media misrepresentations of AI may seem harmless when we think about animated robots on The Jetsons, but the consequences of portrayals both in entertainment and other media reporting can be significant when it comes to AI research and development.

Many nontechnical observers today think of AI as a sci-fi technology with human-level performance, but AI is still only as smart as the data that scientists feed to it.

Worse than overestimating what AI can do, we tend to see it as a full replacement for human labor.

Security companies hoping to leverage AI for real impact need to acknowledge the realistic capabilities of their technology.

Current AI can detect specific actions and items, but there's no AI in development that is even close to being able to make clear evaluations of security decisions.
