I’m a CTO. AI still needs your human expertise | Madhu Shashanka

TL;DR

AI is increasingly getting good at doing some tasks, but it can never replace human workers’ judgment Autonomous cars, which may be the safest we have built, keep getting easily avoidable parking tickets. While Waymos crash far less often than human drivers over tens of millions of miles, they’re still terrible at performing basic tasks – keeping out of disabled parking spots and tow-away zones, or steering clear of a church garage during Sunday service, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Nauti's Take

Operational AI should be tested on ordinary edge cases before impressive demos earn trust. Check local rules, exceptions, ownership, and escalation paths first.

Those details reveal whether a system is ready to act in the real world or only performs well under controlled conditions.
