The Limits of Artificial Intelligence
36:43 - 49:22 (12:39)
The capabilities of artificial intelligence are limited when it comes to tasks that rely on sense perception or motor skills, as AI is a system that is perfectly describable in detail and good at mimicking our explicit thought process, but struggles with tasks that do not have explicit reasoning.

Summary
The EU has demanded the legal concept where everyone has the right to know why they were affected by an algorithmic decision such as being denied a mortgage or a credit card, regardless of regulation stifling innovation. Even though this seems to be a promising technique, scientists have a two-year deadline to remain legally sufficient to please the EU and understand legally difficult to meet the standards.
