Dr. Aya Sofer, director of IBM's research laboratory in Israel, was a guest at the high-tech Silicon Club managers' forum: "Besides the many advantages, there are of course also challenges that are not easy, such as a built-in bias in models or data, or the creation of fake news and its use to bias public opinion. To combat these, we must adopt ethical information standards for the use of artificial intelligence - and educate consumers to use it critically."
"Artificial intelligence has the potential to improve our lives in a variety of ways - starting with improving the efficiency of business processes, developing products and services, innovative medical treatments and drugs, improving complex transportation systems and also combating climate change," said Dr. Aya Sofer, IBM's Vice President for Artificial Intelligence Technologies and the director of the IBM research laboratory in Israel, who participated in the Silicon Club meeting held at the high-tech training center for the youth of the community Druze D-TECH, in Isfaya.
Dr. Sofer holds a doctorate in computer science from the University of Maryland in the United States and has been researching artificial intelligence for over 20 years. She has published many articles in leading scientific journals, and received many awards for her work in the field of artificial intelligence.
She joined LibM in 1999, and held a variety of positions in the company's research laboratories. In 2021, she was appointed director of Israel's research laboratory, which has activity sites in Haifa and Tel Aviv, as well as a center of excellence for cyber research in Be'er Sheva.
"IBM Laboratories is one of the leaders in the world in the field of artificial intelligence. We work on a wide variety of projects, including the development of new machine learning models and natural language models.
"Artificial intelligence is an extensive field of knowledge that is constantly changing, and it is very diverse - from models for natural language processing, through machine learning and computer vision for the worlds of robotics - and in all of them it can be used as a tool for making better and more informed human decisions.
"Besides the many advantages of artificial intelligence, there are also, of course, challenges that are not easy. One of the complex challenges that is being talked about a lot today is a built-in bias that exists in the various models, or a bias that comes from the information used to train the models. When the model is intended, for example, to help optimize hiring processes, this bias may create discrimination against certain candidates.
"There are several ways to deal with these challenges of artificial intelligence, including the development of ethical standards for the development of the models, the use of reliable and diverse data, and also the development of 'safety measures' to prevent the misuse of artificial intelligence tools. It is also very important to educate the audience that uses artificial intelligence, in order to To emphasize the fact that the insights of the models are only aids for decision-making and also that in the current era, where artificial intelligence tools can create convincing texts and images It is very important to conduct an independent audit and look for support for any information that helps us formulate decisions - certainly those with significant weight.
"Today there are also quite a few prophets of rage who talk about artificial intelligence systems that are getting out of control. I believe that the danger - if such a charged term can be used - is mainly from the misuse or bad or malicious management of artificial intelligence tools, such as for example biasing public opinion through fake news But if we know how to develop and implement safety measures and ethical standards for the use of artificial intelligence, it can be a powerful tool for the benefit of humanity," Sofer concluded.

Natural intelligence and artificial intelligence
The neurolinguistic revolution
Billions of words have been written by humans, and each word is a jumble of lines with a unique shape.
Billions of words have poured from the throats of men
And each word is a unique noise.
About 100 years ago, curious people appeared who wanted to investigate these chatter and these noises
in order to understand them. What they understood, they wrote with gibberish, and told with noises,
The name of these curious people is linguists, and they did not understand that investigating gibberish with the help of other gibberish is doomed to failure,
The clear representative of these linguists is Chomsky.
And the clear representative of the physicists exploring the universe is Newton, whose investigation was also predestined to failure.
Chomsky and Newton are groundbreaking pioneers who tried to explore the secrets of human language, and the secrets of physical reality and the structure of the universe.
Asbar also tried to investigate the secret of human language,
and the secrets of physical reality.
And just as neurophysics came in place of Newton's physics, so neurolinguistics came in place of Chomsky's linguistics.
Newton believed that there exists in physical reality an imaginary idea called gravity, and Chomsky believed that humans naturally create languages with fixed syntax
Newton misled physicists for 300 years, and Chomsky misled linguists for 100 years.
Then came Asbar, with new linguistics and physics.
Neurolinguistics is free and has no fixed syntax or certain grammar rules.
Neurolinguistics is simple and self-explanatory, and it is based on a person's natural knowledge.
Neurolinguistics develops in the identification of organs in the human body, which allow him to speak. (throat, mouth, tongue)
Throat, mouth, and tongue are a natural piano of 22 notes
A natural piano belongs to a person with natural knowledge
The man with natural knowledge invented a language for himself based on the sounds produced by the natural piano.
And this is how the process of creating a language is described.
A silent person with natural knowledge touches a block of ice, and miraculously a clear natural knowledge comes to him.
The silent person suddenly realized that he knew something.
There is no way to describe this news because man has not yet invented words.
And even though the words had not yet been invented, the person who touched the block of ice suddenly knew a wonderful new knowledge.
And here a miracle happened, and the silent man realized that he needed to give a name to this clear knowledge.
This silent person is a person with a natural knowledge inherent in him, and he knew that his natural piano can provide sounds, which can be used as a
The aforementioned natural knowledge.
This silent man chose a short name, which derives from two notes of his natural piano, the sound of K and the sound of R
And so it happened, that the combination of the two sounds (cold) became the name of a natural knowledge, which comes to man following contact with a block of ice.
This is where the creation of human language begins, which is the language of names of natural information.
All the conditions of creation are found in the silent person.
Ingenuity is inherent in the silent person, natural knowledge is inherent in the silent person, and the natural piano is part of the silent person's body.
Every person can learn a language of natural knowledge. This language requires the person who wants to learn to make an act of touching a block of ice, like the silent person,
This simple act brings a person amazing knowledge
that he feels her and feels her.
In the next step, the person learning understands that the two cold sounds of his natural piano are a chosen name of the natural knowledge that came to him, following contact with ice.
The name of natural knowledge is chosen arbitrarily,
And any combination of sounds can correspond to this.
The combination of sounds (חם) was chosen to be the name of a natural knowledge, which miraculously comes to the person approaching the fire.
The combination of the sounds Hm was also chosen arbitrarily.
This is how human language is created, based on natural information that comes to them, following actions they do in physical reality.
The actions are as simple as (touching, walking, jumping, tasting, smelling), etc. This is how a clear language of humans is created, which is the language of names of natural knowledge.
This information comes to humans, following actual actions they do in physical reality.
Touch and natural knowledge comes, smell and another natural knowledge comes, see and natural knowledge comes
Otherwise, you taste and another natural knowledge comes, and more,
Now it remains to choose arbitrarily, sounds from the natural piano, such as the sounds of the piano, or the sounds of the bass, or the sounds of the sweet,
And these sounds will be the names of some of the natural messages that came to humans, following the actions they did. in physical reality.
This is how a human language is created, which is a language of names of natural information. Every word in the human language is
Name of natural knowledge - coming to man, following an actual act he does in physical reality.
It is impossible to create human language with the help of the sounds emanating from the throat, because the sounds are just noise.
If the voices are names of natural information following an action in physical reality, then the language is created immediately, and it can be used.
All linguists in the last 100 years have used the noise of words coming from their throats to create human language and explain it.
All these linguists have failed. And as a result of this failure, the Nesbari Law appeared saying:
You cannot study a language through its words.
The investigation must get right to the natural news
who received names in words.
Neurolinguistics began to create a human language, which is a language of names of natural information.
The selection of names takes place with the help of the natural pianos of humans, which are able to produce many sounds such as sound A, sound B, sound C and so on.
Humans easily invented thousands of languages, because they
They knew - that language is invented by actions, not by words.
The linguists of the last 100 years did not know that language is invented by actions, and they spoke, and spoke,
And they spoke, and made a noise from their throats - which remained a noise.
This noise failed to invent a language.
Esbar's research revealed the secret of human language, which is the language of names of natural information - which come to man following an act he does,
Every such act brings natural knowledge to the person, and the person who creates the language gives a name to the natural knowledge.
Neurolinguistics is completely new, and it is completely different from Chomsky's linguistics.
Chomsky's linguistics is based on words, which are scribbles of meaningless lines, so the failure of this linguistics is predictable.
There is no possibility to understand doodles, with the help of other doodles, whose names are words.
Neurolinguistics is based on actual actions
that man does, and these actions bring man
Miraculously, natural news.
Artificial intelligence and natural intelligence
A person touching a block of ice receives a very clear natural knowledge, and the person gives it an arbitrary name.
He achieves the arbitrary name with the help of his natural piano. capable of making many sounds.
People already know the natural knowledge that the name of consists of the sound k and the sound r
This whole process takes place with the help of natural intelligence.
A robot touching a block of ice has no natural intelligence, and no natural knowledge. The robot has artificial intelligence, and it can measure the temperature of the contact, but it does not have a clear natural knowledge of the contact with a block of ice.
A person has such clear natural knowledge.
There is a profound difference between artificial and natural intelligence. Natural intelligence belongs to a person who obtains natural knowledge as a result of an act he does. Artificial intelligence is limited, and will never reach the natural intelligence of a human.
There are many expectations from artificial intelligence, and neural linguistics has lowered the level of expectations to a simple mechanical level that works, but does not know.
Neurolinguistics is a song of praise for the knowledgeable person
