29. Artificial Intelligence Does Not Need Real Data To Work
One of the facts about artificial intelligence floating around that is not actually factual is the concept of AI using real data to work. It is actually untrue as “real” data is simply not needed for an AI to operate overall. By data, we do not mean something like 1’s and 0’s that help to make the AI itself.
We mean data that could be based on opinions and not facts. For example, what if the data of an AI was formatted to use the facts mentioned by a politician. Many of them use facts that are not really that, in that they’re actually opinion or a complete lie. If AI was based on data presented by them, it could use this to push lies further. Synthetic data could also play a massive role in their programming and create big problems.
