An AI Lie Detector Is Going to Start Questioning Travelers in the EU

I would think they have a dataset that they're validating them on if they're calling it "AI".

You obviously don't work for IBM :)

A skilled IBM Watson sales consultant as capable of selling simple linear regressions as Big Data AI!

You know with a big enough corpus of successful sales I think we should be able to train our Sales-Bot to sell simple linear regressions as Big Data AI!

I wish that machine learning wasn’t being mislabeled as AI. It’s pattern recognition, not intelligence.

While I don't disagree that "AI" as a term is being abused, the distinction you're making seems very much a philosophical one.

One could argue intelligence is pattern recognition. One important aspect of human intelligence is neocortex -- a part of brain -- that exists in all mammals and mammals only. It serves as a pattern recognizer in mammal brains that helps them recognize certain sound, day/night, visual patterns etc...

Of course. All i'm saying is that presumably they've at least cross-validated that linear regression.
