Each time media start fussing over a black magic called "AI", it reminds me of how small number of people actually write some codes. So it is little known that what is great about AI is actually resides on a human art called coding rather than machinery of computers. It may be fortunate because it seems that I do not need to worry about witch-hunts within foreseeable future although I am sometimes called "wizard" from end users.
I really appreciate who code any kinds of AI programs even if they are actually a "counting horse" sort of circus acts. They at least need to have some insights into both of human psychology and computer logic which are completely different to each other. However, I do hate those who are selling false dreams or scaremongering to cheat money out of people's pockets.
Having said that, I am totally in favour of educating coding to everyone especially from very early stage of compulsory education although I know very well that coding is not for everyone but requires some distinct talent to be good at it.
Then everyone has some sense of what is coding is like and rough ideas about what is possible or easy and what is impossible or difficult with coding i.e. with computers. With more people receiving such education, I think the money for IT investment will be more effectively spent in more meaningful uses.
