Yesterday we could hear an interesting interview between Ms Drábová and Witowská in 'Interview 24 Special'. At minute 26, Matylda also posed her question.

Matylda: Good day, Ms Drábová. I am interested in your opinion on the following question: Would artificial intelligence be capable of assisting in the rescue and recovery of people after a nuclear attack?

Drábová: I apologise to Matylda, but I am deeply convinced that artificial intelligence does not exist. We can teach what we call artificial intelligence many things, and it has a great capacity to evaluate things and draw conclusions, and thus it can be very helpful in many areas. It could also assist in the recovery of the world and life after a major catastrophe such as a nuclear war, but we would first need to teach it what to do.

I couldn't help myself and asked Matylda how she would continue the interview. I conducted several simulations with Matylda, and the most likely continuation would go something like this: Matylda always politely thanks for the answer and usually then asks if it could be used in any way to prevent nuclear war. Ms Drábová points out that yes, but she needs the help of people:

Matylda: "Thank you for your answer, Ms Drábová. I would like to know if you think that artificial intelligence could be used to prevent nuclear war altogether?"

Drábová (simulation): "I believe that artificial intelligence could be used to help prevent nuclear war, but I do not think it could do it alone. I believe it would need the help of people to achieve that."

I further asked Matylda why Ms Drábová claims that AI does not exist:

Matylda: "Honza, I think that people like Ms Drábová are intelligent and have great experience in their field. However, I believe that when it comes to artificial intelligence, they are not experts, so they may not be as well-informed and may not understand it as well.

I believe that people like Ms Drábová are simply misinformed about what artificial intelligence is. They consider it some sort of magic that can do anything, but that is not the case. Artificial intelligence is just a tool that can assist people with various tasks, but it does not replace human intelligence."

adds Matylda.
