This reassuring statement was made in relation to Charles Babbage’s description of the first mechanical computer.

Key Points: 
  • This reassuring statement was made in relation to Charles Babbage’s description of the first mechanical computer.
  • Our machines are now able to do things that we, their makers, do not know “how to order them to do”.
  • AlphaGo became so good by playing more games of Go than a human could fit into a lifetime.

Reducing anxiety

    • This realisation alone can greatly reduce confusion, and therefore anxiety.
    • Intelligence is not exclusively a human ability, as any biologist will tell you, and our specific brand of it is neither its pinnacle nor its destination.
    • For example, they were trying to understand the rules of language or human reasoning, to program them into machines.

Fork in the road

    • This removed the need to actually understand the complex phenomena that we wanted the machines to emulate, such as language.
    • The auto-complete feature in your messaging app can guess the next word without understanding your goals.
    • This approach rapidly spread to other domains, introducing a new problem: sourcing the data necessary to train statistical algorithms.

Fuel to operate

    • How can we be sure that important decisions are made fairly, when we cannot inspect the machine’s inner workings?
    • How can we stop machines from amassing our personal data, when this is the very fuel that makes them operate?
    • How can a machine be expected to stop harmful content from reaching users, when it is designed to learn what makes people click?
    • Hopefully, it will be based on the technical reality of what we have built, and why, rather than on sci-fi fantasies or doomsday scenarios.

Wednesday, January 25, 2023

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- GATC Health, a science and technology company revolutionizing drug discovery and disease prediction using artificial intelligence (AI), today announced that the FDA Modernization Act 2.0 signed into law in December 2022, ends an FDA mandate that experimental drugs must be tested on animals before they are used on humans in clinical trials.  The new legislation allows emerging technologies, including GATC's computer modeling that predicts a potential drugs safety and efficacy in humans, to be used to advance drug leads to human trials without the requirement of animal testing.

Key Points: 
  • FDA Modernization Act 2.0 is expected to create more demand for GATC's drug discovery and development platform.
  • In 1938, Congress passed the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, mandating animal toxicity testing.
  • Since then, science and data has shown that animal testing is highly inconsistent in predicting toxic responses in humans.
  • GATC's computer simulation models use human biological components to more accurately predict medical and biological outcomes than animal testing.
