A RESPONSE TO THE REQUEST OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN GOVERNMENT PROPOSED BY ADSACTLY: PART #26 AND #27

The quest for good governance with equitable distribution of wealth and income, fair and equal treatment of the populace and total eradication of cabals who are wrongly pivoting the affairs of the nations, all these are the reasons why ADSACTLY in ADSACTLY part #26 and ADSACTLY part #27 to be clamoring for replacement of government with Artificial Intelligence in every sector of the governments.

I feel ‘it is possible but we are not there yet’ in other to clear myself, the basis of Artificial Intelligence and the current trends in AI and their challenges need to be addressed.

What is Artificial Intelligence?
By definition, Artificial intelligence can be defined as the intelligence displayed by machines, a way of developing an agent which possesses the natural intelligence (NI) displayed by humans and other animals.
Machine learning and Natural-Language-Processing (NLP) are both fields under the artificial intelligence.
Machine learning is used in different areas, i.e. to create our familiarized Steemit trail bot algorithms, while NLP is used to pick up conversational cadences and mimic human conversation using the human language.

Artificial Intelligence can be classified into two, namely: General Artificial Intelligence and Narrow Intelligence.
The reason why Artificial Intelligence was created is to create an agent which mimics and carries human intelligence in every sense, in carrying out various tasks, having noticed that most of the tasks being carried out by human beings at very fast rate such as recognition of familiar faces are not possible for computer to do, since they follow traditional programming. The Terminator, star wars are both typical examples of general AI, unfortunately, with the current advancement in Information and communication technology, we are yet to create such agents.

Narrow Artificial Intelligence, on the other hand, is what we are currently called Artificial Intelligence. Machines that process, learn from, and draw actionable insights out of the otherwise impenetrable walls of big data. From the massive supercomputers that support Google's search engines, the trailing bot on Steemit to the robot cheetah on Steemit, all rely on Machine Learning to carry out their activities.
To have a better understanding of how Artificial Intelligence works without discussing its detail architecture, it behoves us to talk about machine learning, which is the basis of Artificial Intelligence.

Machine Learning
As it can be seen from the above, Machine learning is a sub field of computer science and a field of Artificial Intelligence that gives the computer the ability to learn, acts and draw an insight from a pool of data without following traditional programming.

A brief overview of Machine learning algorithms and their usage are shown below

CURRENT CHALLENGES

*Extract information from unlabeled data (unsupervised learning)
*Develop a theoretical overview of neural network
*Tap into the potential of transfer learning
*Scale for distributed Big data
*They are built specifically to solve a particular problem and as such they cannot be used to solve problem in other areas and many more to mention

With all these current challenges not being solved, thus replacing government with Artificial Intelligence can be a disaster and not be a beneficial to the populace at large because AI is based on Machine Learning algorithm which works on data set, unlike human being, the agents created from AI aren’t also yet capable of abstract learning, lack common sense , reasoning and curiosity. All what we need is agents with Natural Intelligence, good integrity who possess love, passion, just and work for common interest of the populace.
