How to Recognize AI Snake Oil

January 22, 2021

by Doug Hulette

Associate Professor Arvind Narayanan [1] believes that “For the process of science to work, we, as the public, must understand not just science but also pseudo-science."  For the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory [2]'s Jan. 16 "Science On Saturday [3]" program, Narayanan reprised a presentation he made in November 2019 at MIT.  His topic: the capabilities of artificial intelligence, why we shouldn't believe everything companies say about their "AI"-based products, and how we can recognize flawed AI claims.
