AI for Understanding Human Goals

"In the quest to capture ... social intelligence in machines, 
researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence 
Laboratory (CSAIL) and the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences 
created an algorithm capable of inferring goals and plans, even when 
those plans might fail."

"... ability to account for mistakes could be crucial for building 
machines that robustly infer and act in our interests ... Otherwise, AI 
systems might wrongly infer that, since we failed to achieve our 
higher-order goals, those goals weren’t desired after all. We’ve seen 
what happens when algorithms feed on our reflexive and unplanned usage 
of social media, leading us down paths of dependency and polarization. 
Ideally, the algorithms of the future will recognize our mistakes, bad 
habits, and irrationalities and help us avoid, rather than reinforce, them."

Wouldn't it be nice if AI-assisted business networking services helped 
us avoid polarization and needless dependencies on The Politics Industry 
as we strive to achieve public objectives documented in an open, 
standard, machine-readable format?
