It's interesting that Cook mentioned the danger of how today algorithms keep pushing for preexisting beliefs.<p>One of the risks with AI is the over-relying on analytical data. When a desirable pattern is discovered, it often leads to future actions specifically targeting this pattern simply to reinforce it more, this in turn perpetuates a narrow and single-minded culture.<p>It may take away our natural ability of intuitive thinking and thus preventing new patterns to emerge. Every decision must be made based on existing knowledge/data so there's no more room for any unproven hypotheses. Organizations may just avoid exploring new directions altogether when no data readily exists.
