At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi joined other industry leaders to discuss the evolving role of artificial intelligence ($AI ) in transportation. In a compelling speech, Khosrowshahi advocated for establishing an acceptable threshold for $AI errors in real-world applications, particularly in transportation systems. He suggested that society must come to terms with the fact that AI, like humans, will make mistakes, and that these errors should be acknowledged within a defined, acceptable range.
Khosrowshahi emphasized that autonomous technology has the potential to enhance road safety by reducing human error, particularly distractions. He outlined his vision for the future of transportation as "autonomous, electric, and shared," highlighting $AI 's transformative power in reshaping how people move. Reflecting on this vision, he posed a critical question: How much more efficient does AI need to be in comparison to human performance before society fully accepts it?
, with both promising opportunities and considerable challenges. For instance, technology companies like Apple and Google have faced setbacks in their AI features, from misleading notifications to incorrect search results. This underscores the delicate balance between innovation and the potential for AI to falter.
Khosrowshahi further pointed to the safety advantages of AI, referencing Waymo’s self-driving fleet, which has shown a lower rate of incidents compared to human drivers. While acknowledging the potential for mistakes, he stressed that AI could ultimately outperform human drivers in terms of safety. However, Khosrowshahi refrained from citing Uber's own autonomous vehicles, which have faced challenges in the past. Google’s Ruth Porat responded, noting that while AI is indeed safer in many respects, human error tends to be more forgiving in the eyes of society. This conversation highlights the complex relationship between technology and human expectations in the quest for safer, more efficient transportation systems.
