It's been a year since NewsHour science correspondent Miles O'Brien lost his left arm in a freak accident. Technology may one day replace the limb he lost, but he's learning that for most day-to-day tasks, a simple articulated hook is still the best tool around. Watch the whole story on Thursday, February 12 on The PBS NewsHour.
LOS ANGELES – Correspondent Miles O’Brien gets agitated when he reads the “doom and gloom” stories about artificial intelligence.
People are also reading… “This whole thing is about a six-figure operation,” he says, pointing to his prosthesis. “I was kind of hoping for a LUKE arm but, frankly, has been a middle-of-the-road thing. It’s a little bit frustrating … but it’s an amazing thing … it’s good for holding a drink but it’s not like I can play the piano.”
“A.I. is very good at summarizing documents,” says Alexander Amini, a researcher with the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. “It’s very good at objective tasks, but it’s not very good at creative tasks. They’re generating new words on a screen … but they’re lacking that subjectivity, that creativeness that is intrinsically a very human quality.”
