Artificial Intelligence systems are becoming more able to act on their own and make decisions that affect the world. We need to find ways to figure out if these decisions are good or not.
Financial markets are a place to test this because they are very unpredictable and people are working against each other. There is also a lot of uncertainty. We do not always know right away if a decision was good or not. These are the kinds of conditions that Artificial Intelligence will have to deal with as it starts making complicated decisions.
The problem is that most of the time we judge Artificial Intelligence systems by how money they make or lose.. In situations like this a good decision can still result in a loss because of things that the Artificial Intelligence system cannot control.. Sometimes a bad decision can work out just by luck.
This makes me wonder about the picture of Artificial Intelligence and how we can make it even smarter. How can we really know if an Artificial Intelligence system is making decisions when things are not certain instead of just looking at the results?
Are there any new ideas or tests being developed that can separate the quality of the decision making process from the actual results? I am especially interested, in ideas that work well in situations where we have to make decisions over a period of time and there is a lot of uncertainty.
I would really like to hear what people think about this.
