Before this thread turns into the Montel Williams show, I think there needs to be protocols for what intelligence, smart technology, and AI mean.
Intelligence can mean common sense. You can make a right turn and make a U-turn. For smart technology, intelligence means the best solution for a given situation. The Wikipedia website says smart/intelligent, but expands on environmental impacts and other variables, not AI or human intelligence. One post confuses a garage door opener with AI. Whether a remote control uses a cord, Bluetooth, or microwaves it is not considering AI, but perhaps a smart solution.
Currently, AI is not the best solution to this problem, which is actually three different tasks. Those are:
1) identifying objects: AI --> deep learning --> computer vision is not at fifth grade level. That is why companies use sensors, cameras, and radar.
2) making a decision: This is rules based AI and there are an infinite number of rules that need programming.
3) transferring data to the processor: Where sensors and cameras can use edge computing, AI uses the cloud and experiences latency. Fog computing (dedicated local servers for self-driving cars) is in the process of development.
