I think if you read my post I do mention about the ability to learn, but that's exactly my point, current AI can only 'learn' what it's been programed to learn. The bank voice recognition example you give is programmed to ONLY learn and interpret voices, probably only in one language. It can't learn anything else and would struggle with people who have speech impediments. It won't even attempt to, or even know about, the possibility of translation if someone speaks a different language to it, it just won't work unless it hears the correct language. Hardly intelligent. Whereas take a human in comparison. They will instantly recognise another language and although they may not be able to understand it, can very quickly make a learned decision to get a translation or Indeed find another way to make it understandable. That's why I believe AI is a fantasy, it'll never be real intelligence that can learn anything outside the parameters it's been programed with. Should be called artificial programming rather than artificial intelligence.
Understood.
Look maybe this seems like semantics but in my view it really isn't.
The voice AI wasn't programmed to learn voices. The AI isn't programmed about voices. The programming is in providing it access to voices. The opportunity to listen to them.
I'll be a monkey's uncle if training AI to fly a plane isn't far simpler than training a human to fly a plane during the OP's daughter's career.
In my life look at a similar transition. From rotary dial to watching videos on a smartphone, in a similar period. The same smartphone that knows where you are and can switch the heat on half an hour before you get home. Try that with a rotary dial phone.
Understanding voice is no mean feat.
"Alexa, tell me a joke."
"OK google, find me a gas station"
"Hey Siri, how many beans make five?"
That was sci-fi in 1980.
AI pilots are sci-fi in 2019.
