It is presented by the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour, the world\u2019s oldest and most established AI society in the world. The Leobner prize is also the best example of a formal competition at what is famously called the Turing Test.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For four of the last six years the winner was Mitsuku, a highly intelligent chatbot that has been in a state of constant development since 2005. And it is the ability to pass this test that makes Mitsuku impressive. It also highlights a key concern that is often flagged when it comes to the topic of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itransition.com\/ai\/workplace\">AI in the workplace<\/a>: if we can\u2019t tell the difference between a human and a machine, are humans irrelevant in certain jobs?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a common concern we see reflected in a number of surveys and interviews. In a\u00a0 2018 Gallup survey, for example, seventy-three percent of participants said they expect the increased use of AI will eliminate more jobs than it creates. Sixty-three percent predict that new technologies and smart machines would widen the gap between rich and poor. However, in the same survey, 79 percent of Americans say artificial intelligence has had a &#8220;mostly positive&#8221; or &#8220;very positive&#8221; impact on their lives thus far.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>An idea that would change the world<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29468\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29468\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29468\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iStock-872453246-e1566317697278.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"235\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-29468\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bletchley, UK &#8211; Visitors outside the Mansion at Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire, England.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where AI in the form of machine learning and natural language processing in application can be seen as a new invention, the idea itself has been around for some time. In fact, it can be traced back to a man named Alan Turing. You might recognize that name as the man who led a key decryption team at Britain&#8217;s Bletchley Park in World War Two. This team saved an estimated 14 million people by building a machine capable of breaking the nearly impossibly enciphered communications of the Axis powers. In 1950, in the Journal Mind, Touring asked an important question that would put us on a trajectory leading to the thousands of AI applications available today. He asked, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can machines think<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Five years later, a Dartmouth Assistant Professor of Mathematics named John McCarthy organized a team of researchers to dig deeper into this idea. McCarthy\u2019s group submitted a formal proposal for a two month project to study, in their terms, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">artificial intelligence<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, during the summer of 1956. This is the first published use of this phrase. The proposal goes on to state that those involved were to make a significant advancement in the study of how machines use language, solve problems now reserved for humans, and, in principle, simulate any other feature of intelligence requested.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this proposal we see not only the first use of the term, but the foundations of AI as it is today: machine learning, natural language processing, and more. These are the foundations of Roomba, Siri, Watson, Alexa, and the thousands of other applications in use today. And this is simply the window dressing of the AI revolution. Today, applications span every conceivable market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/connection.simplecast.com\/episodes\/mitsuku-business-artificial-intelligence-and-the-goldilocks-dilemma\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listen to Anthony Cresci, from Theta Lake, as he describes how AI is used to ensure compliance in financial services companies.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><b>A delicate balance\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29473\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29473\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29473\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iStock-1053501204-e1566318028339.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"234\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-29473\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This concept of the optimal point, the one that is just right, is what is often called the Goldilocks principle. &#8220;<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was a Fast Company article on the science of ideal work environments that looked at lighting, sound levels, temperature, and more. It\u2019s an interesting approach to ideals, as well as how businesses can optimize a work environment to bring out the best in employees. For example, if you\u2019re taking on a creative task, ambient noise is optimal. Extreme quiet can sharpen our focus for tasks that require complete focus. But then extreme quiet makes it harder to think creatively. Optimal room temperature is 71 degrees, and employees make 44% more mistakes w<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hen temperatures drop to around 68 degrees. Productivity also starts to drop considerably the higher you go as well. Too hot, productivity lowers. Too cold, mistakes are made. Victory belongs to those who keep the air and the noise levels just right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This equation should not be a surprise for anyone familiar with the children\u2019s fable of Goldilocks and the three bears. The story is of a girl who appears at the house of three bears and, after looking around a bit, samples three bowls of porridge. One she finds to be too hot. One too cold. But one, that was just right. This concept of the optimal point, the one that is just right, is what is often called the Goldilocks principle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The application of the Goldilocks principle has impacted a wide range of disciplines. Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking once used it to describe the habitable zone near a star, where the temperature would be just right for life. In economics, it is the sustainable level of growth and low inflation. In medicine, it refers to a drug that can hold the line between antagonistic and agonistic properties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The question then is, for businesses today, what is the right approach to AI that optimizes productivity in employees?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/connection.simplecast.com\/episodes\/mitsuku-business-artificial-intelligence-and-the-goldilocks-dilemma\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listen to RingCentral\u2019s Curtis Peterson share insights on what AI is and how it is improving employee experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><b>The optimal approach<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29472\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29472\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29472\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iStock-1157345255-1-e1566317976237.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"233\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-29472\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The primary use for AI today is in assisting and augmenting workers, allowing time-consuming tasks to be offloaded.&#8221;<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The primary use for AI today is in assisting and augmenting workers, allowing time-consuming tasks to be offloaded. AI assists in the manage the quantity of data we have today and will increase in the future. If this is the case, and most who have interacted with AI have had a positive experience, why would 73 percent of people say they expect the increased use of AI will eliminate more jobs than it creates? The problem is not about the technology, but rather the perception of the technology. It is susceptible to broad interpretations as a term. The problem is one of emotions, about how we feel about the use of technology in how it alters our day to day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/connection.simplecast.com\/episodes\/mitsuku-business-artificial-intelligence-and-the-goldilocks-dilemma\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listen to journalist, author, venture capitalist, entrepreneur Ben Parr share insights on how to think about AI and implement it within a company.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here then is the Goldilocks Dilemma, as applied to AI: When implementing an AI application, the focus should be on how it assists and augments workers, offloading time consuming tasks so workers can focus on more important tasks. It is about managing expectations and experiences as much as it is about potential gains. Business leaders should be mindful to roll out new features aligned with the natural comfort level of the organization around the usage of technology. Let&#8217;s simplify this: too little innovation and you are short changing your organization. Too much innovation all at once and people will avoid the usage of new technology. The key is right in the middle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>SOURCES<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/04\/03\/ibm-ai-can-predict-with-95-percent-accuracy-which-employees-will-quit.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/04\/03\/ibm-ai-can-predict-with-95-percent-accuracy-which-employees-will-quit.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2019\/04\/the-legal-and-ethical-implications-of-using-ai-in-hiring\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/hbr.org\/2019\/04\/the-legal-and-ethical-implications-of-using-ai-in-hiring<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.com\/corpcounsel\/2019\/03\/18\/the-impact-of-artificial-intelligence-in-the-workplace\/?slreturn=20190612123856\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.law.com\/corpcounsel\/2019\/03\/18\/the-impact-of-artificial-intelligence-in-the-workplace\/?slreturn=20190612123856<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/04\/15\/employee-privacy-is-at-stake-as-surveillance-tech-monitors-workers.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/04\/15\/employee-privacy-is-at-stake-as-surveillance-tech-monitors-workers.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/smarterwithgartner\/the-future-of-employee-monitoring\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/smarterwithgartner\/the-future-of-employee-monitoring\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/special-report\/2018\/03\/28\/there-will-be-little-privacy-in-the-workplace-of-the-future\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.economist.com\/special-report\/2018\/03\/28\/there-will-be-little-privacy-in-the-workplace-of-the-future<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/3026715\/the-science-behind-your-ideal-work-environment\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/3026715\/the-science-behind-your-ideal-work-environment<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To listen to this story, download the accompanying episode of Connection through the podcast player of your choice.\u00a0 The Leobner Prize is awarded annually to the most seemingly human-like artificial intelligence (AI) application.
