Because one cannot know how the AI is making its decisions, one cannot predict where the AI’s rules will cause their own mischief.
What kind of “intelligence” cannot articulate the relationships it detects and teach them to humans in English?

The ability to do that is the marker for when AI has broken free of its “artificial” context and simply become intelligence.

In fact, intelligence can learn from articulated teaching in English, learn more (including the limits and errors of the aforementioned articulated learning from English) from experience, and teach in English. And also learn from the responses of those it teaches.

No human, after all, could earn a PhD without all of those abilities . . .

My favorite anecdote about AI:

The Army was using AI to detect camouflaged tanks. They used satellite imagery from Germany to train the neural network. The AI got to 95% effective.

In Desert Storm, they fed similar imagery from Iraq, and the AI completely failed.

The AI was counting leaves in the German pictures, which was highly correlated to a hidden tank being corrected. In Iraq, it found to few leaves to count.

I stand by my assertion that AI necessarily means not really understanding how the machine makes decisions - otherwise it wouldn’t be AI. I do not want to fly on an aircraft governed by AI - and I am in the business of approving software for use on airplanes.
