AI systems perform tasks once limited to human cognition, but major limitations persist, many of them systemic and high-risk. For example, facial recognition error rates can reach 35% for dark-skinned women (Buolamwini, 2019), while 97% of image classifiers fail under adversarial perturbation (Papernot et al., 2015). Large language models like GPT-4 hallucinate information, posing risks in domains like healthcare and law (OpenAI, 2023; Ji et al., 2023).

Human like robot and artificial intelligence

AI doesn’t actually understand language. It predicts words based on patterns in training data not meaning. This leads to misinterpretation of even basic questions or instructions. These same limitations affect AI-powered search tools. To use them effectively, you must write explicitly, test for ambiguity, and verify outputs.
