  • AI會給答案，我們怎樣知道它是對的

    by 梁承裕 ...
    Series Book 3 - AI 時代，我們重新問一次
    AI 給出的答案語氣完整、排版漂亮，甚至附上推導和來源。問題是：我們憑甚麼相信它？一條方程式推導正確，不代表程式沒有寫錯；程式準確執行，也不代表模型適合現實。幾個不同層次的「對」，不能共用同一個剔號。《AI 會給答案，我們怎樣知道它是對的？》從一個看似微不足道的例子開始：為甚麼電腦裏的 0.1 加 0.2 不一定剛好等於 0.3？由捨入、離散化和數值誤差，逐步走到誤差放大、條件數、程式核實、模型確認、敏感度、適用範圍及可追溯記錄。讀者會看到，一張高解像度模擬圖可以很有說服力，卻仍未必構成證據。本書亦處理更棘手的情況：沒有標準答案時，是否只剩下各說各話？AI 能否替另一個 AI 改卷？當模型比你更熟悉某個領域，你又怎樣發現它越過了自己的能力邊界？答案不是要求每個人成為全科專家，而是建立分層防線，把權威來源、可執行工具、專業覆核、限制權限、持續監察和回退安排放在正確位置 ...
