I like the term “data driven algorithm“. It makes it clear to everyone involved that what we’re doing is just adjusting an algorithm based on the data we have. No-one in their right minds would confuse that with building a true “A.I.”.

To be frank: that very much does not make it clear to everyone involved. If you told the average Joe you had a “data driven algorithm” instead of “AI” you would likely get a blank stare in return.

confusion is better than wrongful understanding?

What about “data derived algorithm”? The algorithm itself isn’t really driven by data after it has been designed anymore.

I mean if we want to be really accurate, we could say something like "highly dimensional data-derived function"

why stop at that? 'high dimensional matrix parameterised data derived non linear function optimisation and unique hypothesis generation' just rolls off the tongue doesn't it xD

I'm sorry to say that I don't see any clear line separating "data driven algorithms" from the embodied minds that we are.

why? we don't understand the architecture, but the brain certainly uses electrical signals in an algorithmic way
