Super confusing article.

Title aside (which is silly since AI is a toolset for solving a variety of problems), it is just so poorly written that it's not until more than halfway through it that I think I see it's main points (that present day A.I. systems are too dependenct on 'clean' data, and some nebulous discussion of how AI contributes to decision making in organizations). And the main point wrt data quality is rather silly in itself, because plenty of research is done on learning techniques that take into account adversaries or bad data. And all the discussion wrt how AI should be used to improve decision making is just super vague and makes it seem like the author has little understanding of what AI is and how it is actually used.

Yeah I stopped reading at this point:
