Understanding AI Through Its Failures.
Can a robot suffer from depression? Why do autonomous vehicles experience hallucinations? Could we unintentionally create a psychopathic chatbot? These intriguing questions lie at the heart of really understanding Artificial Intelligence (AI)—and its profound impact on our world.
In Mental Disorders in Artificial Intelligence (#MDAI), we become therapists for our intelligent machines, exploring the hidden flaws within artificial minds. Rather than getting lost in sensationalist hype about AI’s extraordinary potential, this book offers a refreshingly grounded perspective. We dive into the minor errors, unexpected behaviors, and subtle malfunctions that reveal the “mental health” challenges of the AI systems driving our devices and organizations.
