What abilities can AI not replace in a short time?
According to Lee, the book “AI Future Progress” analyzes three areas where AI has significant shortcomings, and even in 2042, AI may not fully master these capabilities.
First, creativity. AI does not have the ability to create, conceive, or plan strategically. It can’t choose its goals, it can’t think across fields, it can’t think creatively, it can’t have the common sense that is self-evident to humans.
Second, empathy. AI has no sense of “empathy” such as “sympathy” and “care”. It is unable to achieve real interaction with humans in terms of emotion, and it is unable to bring care to others.
Third, dexterity. AI and robotics cannot perform some precise and complex physical tasks, such as dexterous hand-eye coordination. In addition, AI does not deal well with unknown or unstructured Spaces.
