What winemaking has taught me about artificial intelligence>
The Next Web – Bob Friday
Like interwoven grape vines, the story of wine is laced throughout recorded history, dating as far back as China in 7000 B.C. The Egyptian pharaohs were said to have had a taste for the stuff. It was a central part of the culture in ancient Rome. Artificial intelligence (AI) traces its history to the 1950s with Alan Turing and the Dartmouth Summer Research Project, and only in recent years has it emerged as a technology poised to impact society on par with the industrial revolution in terms of eliminating whole job segments such as truck drivers. The big question is will it create as many new jobs as it eliminates. Winemaking is often described as an art, but itâs also fundamentally a science. (Why do you think they call it oenology?) AI just adds to the science part in new, innovative ways. In the same way, AI can supplement a winemakerâs skills and knowledge with insights they never could achieve on their own. And the same goes for AI in IT, where, in my view, it shouldnât necessarily be used to replace humans but to free them from mundane tasks so they can focus on more creative and strategic activities.
