Responsible AI research and development can lead to advancements in various fields, including transportation, education and sustainability.” AI could optimise our transport systems by reducing congestion, planning out delivery routes for goods vehicles, and controlling self-driving cars. What are the next steps for this project?

Given a defined “goal”, an AI can automatically work towards achieving it. Most of our existing intuition about “machinery” and “automation” comes from a kind of “clockwork” view of engineering—in which we specifically build systems component by component to achieve objectives we want. And that’s where we humans come in.

And in fact the big breakthrough in “deep learning” that occurred around 2011 was associated with the discovery that in some sense it can be easier to do (at least approximate) minimization when there are lots of weights involved than when there are fairly few.

At the time, there was some fiddliness to these functions, and to making their output look good—though in later years what we learned from this was used to tune up the general look of built-in graphics in the Wolfram Language. But there’s a standard way to achieve the appearance of gray, by changing the local density of black and white.
