You are right!! AI is a software which is written by humans to assist in solving or reacting to various problems or events. Its interpretation and the resulting actions are no better than those that wrote the software. Based on various researches 65% of academic papers that where written over time where proven wrong or useless or achieving many unwanted side effects. Same statistic rules applies on AI or Machine Learning - they are nothing more than the interpretation of the software writer to the results of a data base of so called "Big Data" just another slogan for overload of computers distributed information, of clueless, idiots, fake news and some sparse morsels of truth or wisdom which are rarely correctly interpreted A classic example is the spread of the notion of "peak oil" by the oil companies to keep crude oil prices at unreasonable heights, if any one remembers the over $120 per barrel from $10 per barrel years before - same with NG which is plentiful

re <<boy>> the PISA scoring must have left out my Jack. I fear the Jack shall have to depend on his luck. In case you missed below, another road marker passed by, that it is heartwarming to know the future is so much brighter and full of good promise ... bloomberg.com China’s Schoolchildren Are Now the Smartest in the World William HorobinDecember 3, 2019, 4:00 PM GMT+8 Explore what’s moving the global economy in the new season of the Stephanomics podcast.

Chinese students far out-stripped peers in every other country in a survey of reading, math and science ability, underscoring a reserve of future economic strength and the struggle of advanced economies to keep up. The OECD’s triennial study of 15-year-old students across the world found that the four Chinese provinces tested -- Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang -- outperformed in science and mathematics, even if household income is well below members’ average. In reading, the 10% most disadvantaged Chinese students tested had better skills than the OECD average. “The quality of their schools today will feed into the strength of their economies tomorrow,” OECD Secretary General Angel Gurria said.

China score is for Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang; Azerbaijan is for Baku The PISA study of 600,000 students in 79 countries shines a light on the difficultly of improving education, sometimes irrespective of the resources that are dedicated to it. That appears to be particularly problematic for OECD countries that have increased spending on primary and secondary students by more than 15% in the past decade. “It is disappointing that most OECD countries saw virtually no improvement in the performance of their students since PISA was first conducted in 2000,” Gurria said. The report also highlights disparities in educational achievement depending on socio-economic background. In some countries, even where government spending on education is high, the background of a student still plays a significant role in their educational outcomes. Overcoming ObstaclesSocio-economic background plays a greater role in reading achievement in some countries Source: Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Note: China result is for Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang; Azerbaijan is for Baku On average, 12% of the variation in student reading performance within each country was associated with socio-economic status. In several European countries, including France and Germany, that measure rises above 17%.

AI/It is going great. I trust It much much more than humans. The fewer humans I'm forced to try to survive the better I like It. In recent years I don't have to deal with immigration people in NZ = just put passport in machine and look at camera. Soon I won't need a passport at all = just look at camera, say name and the machine will have the data from Cyberspace. It's so last century to carry a passport. Or anything. A stick or gun might be useful to deal with dangerous people but if It can eliminate them then even a stick would be unnecessary though it's nice to carry a stick as it's quite instinctive. Mqurice
