Is AI a science?
Artificial Intelligence is hailed as a tool and method of infinite potential. But AI in its current form does not tell us much about ourselves as humans - but science does.
Current AI is engineering, it is not human discovery. AI cannot teach us about ourselves more than we know. AI is about doing whereas science is about knowing. AI is predictive while science is revealing. Science answers the why, while AI lingers on the what. AI automates existing processes in a fast way. A human (or group thereof) can always outperform AI given enough time.
AI displays/copies human bias learned from human data - it doesn’t even rise above the collective view. Human knowledge grows by asking questions, AI doesn’t ask questions.
