         What the terminator teaches us about AI and the need for better data

 

    Terminator is famous for portraying a dystopian society with Artificially Intelligent robots hell-bent on the destruction of the human species, not to mention some catchy one-liners from future California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    In the movie, the T-800 Model 101 Terminator, a highly-advanced robot with living tissue over a metal endoskeleton, is programmed to find and kill our hero, Sarah Connor. But the machine does not know which Sarah Connor to target. The only data it has is her name and the city she lives in. Not knowing exactly who the main target is, The Terminator must scroll through the phone book (remember those?), dispatching all the Sarah Connors on the list. Being that this is a 90 minute movie, The Terminator intercepts the intended Connor rather quickly and spends the rest of the movie blowing things up.

    If Skynet __________________ the Terminator the ground truth data on its intended target, it probably would’ve been much more successful. Of course, that would have meant there wouldn’t have been much of a movie to enjoy and the terrifying scenario of Judgement Day would have been the end-result.

    Help wanted: $78,000 a year to taste candy while sitting on your couch

Alexandra Peers

 

    Candy Funhouse, an online shop that sells from chocolate bars to gummies and licorice, is hiring for a $78,000 a year, work-from-home job as its Chief Candy Officer. Duties include: “leading candy board meetings, being the head taste tester and all things fun. Several thousand candidates have already applied for the position”, said Chief Executive Officer Jamal Hejazi. He noted that he’s been surprised by the number of applications and the elaborate videos of entire families offering to share the tasting duties and the salary. (...) Candy Funhouse, based outside of Toronto, is headed by a quartet of 20-and-30-something-year- old siblings who grew up in the area and_____parents owned donut shops and a local restaurant. (...) Hejazi noted that reports on social media claiming that the Chief Candy Officer will be required to eat 3,500 pieces of candy per month are incorrect. “That’s too many”, Hejazi said.
