“Everything has a limit; humans have a limit, AI has a limit, and computers have a limit. The question is: What’s the limit and are we aware of it?”
As part of our ongoing series featuring the people who make up Stanford Engineering, we introduce Lvmin Zhang, PhD student in computer science, whose research focuses on human-centered computation.
“Many things that we thought should be the limits of AI turned out not to be. Today, AI is close to human ability, or actually beyond human in many areas.
So the boundary I care about most is where a person’s precise intention ends. Inside that boundary, the system should do exactly what the person specified. Outside that boundary is the space for exploration, where the tool can propose many possibilities and the human chooses. Questions like where to draw this boundary, when a human should be convinced by AI, and how the power of AI changes human intention itself are the questions I want to keep thinking about.”
