4. Artificial stupidity. How can we guard against mistakes?

Intelligence comes from learning, whether you’re human or machine. Systems usually have a training phase in which they "learn" to detect the right patterns and act according to their input. Once a system is fully trained, it can then go into test phase, where it is hit with more examples and we see how it performs.

Obviously, the training phase cannot cover all possible examples that a system may deal with in the real world. These systems can be fooled in ways that humans wouldn't be. For example, random dot patterns can lead a machine to “see” things that aren’t there. If we rely on AI to bring us into a new world of labour, security and efficiency, we need to ensure that the machine performs as planned, and that people can’t overpower it to use it for their own ends.

Damien Lawardorn:  "The real reason behind its creation [Scheherazade-IF], says Riedl, “is to probe the bounds of questions of how to get a computer to reason about, create, and understand narrative.” Given that humans are raised on stories, and make them a part of our everyday lives, Riedl’s goal is vital for any artificial intelligence if we want it to understand us."

The article explore previous attempts to integrate AI decision making into story telling in games and their limitations.

But it's easy to see great potential in addition to procedural game world creation. So these vast world can be realistically populated.

A very short but interesting article. The picture and title catches the readers eye. I feel as if the whole premiss of the article is interesting and feel as if robot technology could be very helpful for humans as time goes on.
