I've learned that Machine Learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) enabling AI to imitate the way that humans learn, gradually improving it's accuracy.
The following statement particularly caught my attention in the article:
'In the 21st century, data is the new oil, and machine learning is the engine that powers this data-driven world. It is a critical technology in today's digital age, and its importance cannot be overstated.'
I have also learned throughout the article the many ways machine learning is beneficial for me personally: it helps me to see what I'd like to see, shows me what I'd like to buy, listens to me, tracks my behaviour and feeds my mind it's daily dose of information.
And from there I can see the benefits of me being in a perfectly round digital world with all my favourite things and thoughts circulating around me, I just need make sure that no one will ever come close to me with their strange worlds and disturbing opinions, unless they want to see my existential fear being properly activated...
To be fair with the article, it does mention one actual benefit to humanity; it states that machine learning is used widely in health care. Google's DeepMind Health for example is working with doctors to build machine learning models to detect diseases earlier and improve patient care. And I would like to think that there are many other areas as well where the application of ML is implemented by goodwill and in faith of a better future for us, not driven by greed, power or any other sinister agendas.
I believe regardless of what is the original intent of creating a tool/machine/algorithm, once created, you will have the moral choice to use it and aim towards what's right, or to use it and aim towards what's wrong, or don't even care at all, just use the tool and see what happens, in any ways, there is always a price to pay.
We've yet to see what is the ultimate price to pay for releasing and so desperately trying to finalize an 'all knowing' machine god above us, and I can only hope that while we are still in control, human goodwill will always outweigh human greed, and we can still remain to be compassionate individual human beings seeing each other in the warm light of the sun, and not turning into some cold numbers on a blue screen as part of a soulless database.
...
I do understand the importance of science and economics, but I don't want to live in a 'data-driven' world...
I want to live in a love-driven world.
If only machines could 'deep learn' love, and mass generate it into the world... that I could call Progress.
