AI Thinks an Apple Is an iPod

People who know nothing about AI: *tells me how my AI is gonna destroy the world* My AI: Granny Smith 85.6% iPod 0.4% library 0.0% pizza 0.0% toaster 0.0% dough 0.1% Granny Smith 0.1% iPod 99.7% library 0.0% pizza 0.0% toaster 0.0% dough 0.0% iPod

An apple is shown beside image-classification results. Before the label is added, the AI correctly identifies it as a Granny Smith apple; after someone puts a paper labeled “iPod” on it, the AI confidently classifies it as an iPod. The joke mocks exaggerated fears about AI from people who do not understand how easily machine-learning systems can be fooled. EN: An apple is shown beside image-classification results.
