In this piece, Daniel Leufer introduces his project, aimyths.org, a website that tackles eight of the most harmful myths and misconceptions about artificial intelligence. By showing the damage caused by everything from misleading headlines about AI progress to attempts to use machine learning to predict complex social outcomes, Leufer’s project underlines the importance of getting beyond the hype around AI.
