I ran across an article on Wired today that talked about Facebook's AI research. Facebook wants help from actual humans to validate the accuracy of its AI. You can participate in one of two ways:
1) Create sentences designed to fool the AI and
2) Validate results from the AI as either correct or incorrect.
Here's the scary part: Holy crap if this isn't really good already. Read the following paragraph with this question in mind, then see the result from the AI.
The question:
Which group in Greece wanted to justify the harsher austerity measures?
The text that the AI read in order to answer the question:
Greece was accused of trying to cover up the extent of its massive budget deficit in the wake of the global financial crisis. The allegation was prompted by the massive revision of the 2009 budget deficit forecast by the new PASOK government elected in October 2009, from "6–8%" (estimated by the previous New Democracy government) to 12.7% (later revised to 15.7%). However, the accuracy of the revised figures has also been questioned, and in February 2012 the Hellenic Parliament voted in favor of an official investigation following accusations by a former member of the Hellenic Statistical Authority that the deficit had been artificially inflated in order to justify harsher austerity measures.
AI's answer:
the new PASOK government
You can see a few of these yourself. Just set up an account on:
