In their new book “AI Snake Oil,” two Princeton researchers warn against exaggerated expectations of artificial intelligence. Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor criticize companies, scientists, and journalists for making misleading claims about AI.
The authors emphasize the need for better education about AI to demystify the technology. They divide AI into two subcategories: predictive AI, which predicts future outcomes, and generative AI, which generates probable answers. Narayanan advocates starting AI education in elementary school to create a more realistic understanding of AI’s capabilities and limitations.
