Fantasy of artificial intelligence has just been released in Vietnam. (Source: Nha Nam) The book also gives the final result and points out the difference between AI (Artificial Intelligence) and the human brain, thereby showing readers the risks of over-reliance on machine results. count. In the first four chapters, the author has used a lot of real-life examples to explain in an easy way how artificial intelligence works and how they produce the end result. The author claims that robots have surpassed humans in repetitive monotonous tasks, they have better memory, perform more accurate calculations and are tireless. But artificial intelligence is not programmed to simulate the human brain, and artificial intelligence cannot think, reason, and reason. Since then, the author asserts, until now, computers with comprehensive intelligence enough to compete with humans have not yet existed. In the next two chapters, by referring to “Data Mining”, it is proven fact that data mining even though sometimes there will be a real knowledge discovery. The larger the number of explanatory variables considered, the more likely it is that a relationship discovered is just a coincidence, of temporary nature. In the remaining chapters of the book, the author has given many computational models in many fields such as finance, politics, economics… to prove that statistical evidence is not enough to distinguish between knowledge real and false consciousness. The computer cannot accurately judge whether the correlation is random or truly significant. That work is only for the human mind. Computers smarter than humans? It can be said that artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most interested keywords. Now, thanks to AI, we can do things that were never possible before and never thought we could do. However, with AI’s undisputed capabilities are fantasies and fears for the future of humanity. The real danger is not that the computer is smarter than us, but that we think the computer is smarter than us and therefore trust the computer to make important decisions for us. Meanwhile, computers can completely make serious mistakes, when the way they process data is not the same as the way humans think. In conclusion, human intelligence works differently from artificial intelligence, so it cannot be said that artificial intelligence is intelligent. Robots excel in memory, accuracy, and endurance, but they still have many shortcomings: they can’t think, can’t make analogies, and can’t distinguish between good-bad, meaningless-meaningful data. Humans need computers to process large amounts of information, but also need human intelligence to make final judgments about the results returned by computers.

He is the author of 8 textbooks, 7 business books, nearly 100 academic articles, and 7 software programs in economics, finance, and statistics.
