Bloomberg - Are you a robot? (2024)

FAQs

What question can a robot not answer? ›

AI cannot answer questions requiring inference, a nuanced understanding of language, or a broad understanding of multiple topics.

Bloomberg's AI-Powered Earnings Call Summaries makes it easy to read coverage across ancillary and adjacent companies. It also distills the contentious points so we know where in the material to look for insights on the important debates.”

They might give faulty or confused instructions, be inattentive or deliberately try to deceive a robot for their own questionable ends. Because of our own flaws, we need to teach our robotic assistants and smart machines when and how to say “no.”

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Questions that are open-ended or ambiguous: These questions are difficult for AI because they require the AI system to be able to interpret the question in a variety of ways. For example, if you ask an AI "What is the best way to solve world hunger?", the AI may not be able to answer because there is no single "bes...

Captcha: Many websites use Captcha (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) to verify that users are human. Captchas typically involve displaying a distorted image or a series of letters and numbers that users must enter correctly in order to prove that they are not a robot.

Robots can't pass reCAPTCHA because there are way more factors other than clicking a box that they can't mimic (e.g. keystrokes, microscopic random movements, IP addresses).

It is a computing test to determine if the user is human. It is sometimes called the reverse Turing test, as the point is to prove humanity rather than artificial intelligence. The tests themselves should be dynamic, helping to work around any programmed responses. Where is CAPTCHA used?

Robots are good at routine things, but cannot innovate like people can. Machines are excellent at carrying out routine tasks, but only people can 'think out of the box'. In the future, it will be perfectly possible for a computer to draw the plans for the design of a standard house or apartment building.

Dexterity. AI and robotics cannot accomplish complex physical work that requires dexterity or precise hand-eye coordination. AI can't deal with unknown and unstructured spaces, especially ones that it hasn't observed.

What are robots unable to do? ›

That said, technology cannot replicate creativity, imagination, or the talent that is required to generate unique and original ideas. Furthermore, good writing is something humans can relate to, which is something a machine could never understand.

Strength and endurance: Robots can lift and move heavy objects with ease, and can operate in environments that are too dangerous or uncomfortable for humans. Speed: Robots can process information and make decisions much faster than humans, which can be useful in situations that require quick responses.
