AI, Objectivity and Subjectivity

Objectivity helps to quantify things and thus easily measure, scale, and explain them


Subjectivity is important to understand the context. Depending upon the context, the objective values of things change. 


The Loss of objectivity is obvious and can be detected easily...

The loss of subjectivity is difficult to detect. Loss of subjectivity while achieving Objectivity is like the saying "Operation successful but the patient died"

One could say, the modern economical growth at the expense of the Environment is an example...


Human Intelligence in understanding this difference between Subjectivity and Objectivity and continuously balancing them


In AI, intelligence is in the form of math, in the form of models made out of complex math equations...

This allows adding Objectivity to the Machines very easily. 

But what about Subjectivity?

Subjectivity has to be converted into objectivity. 

We humans have been fuzzy operators...Using our gut to take emergency decisions while using deep thinking for more other aspects. And there may be a complete disconnect here. What you do in an emergency might be very different from a normal situation. Isn't it?


But with AI the intelligence is concretized as per the model and the data. 

So as AI increasing becomes part of our lives, maybe the freedom to make decisions on subjectivity will be reduced. We will have to abide by the intelligence of the machines too...

What you think?
