Abstract
The conditions for the practical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology are investigated. Now we are in the 3rd AI boom aiming at the active use of big data in the Internet. The AI technology, whose typical example is deep learning, is said to be g reat technological innovation and is expected to cause economic development. The famous Singularity Hypothesis attracts a lot of interests and insists that the AI smarter than human being will appear in time and will take human jobs. However, before talkin g about such a dream, we must explore the feasible conditions under which a desirable AI society can be realized, by noticing the features of current AI. Otherwise the boom will disappear in no distant future. The important feature of current AI is statist ical processing which yields probabilistic errors. Therefore the first condition consists in the establishment of maintenance technology to cope with these errors. In addition, we must recognize that, if we over trust the autonomy of AI, human being would be reduced to mechanical data and be led to an oppressive society without freedom. To prevent this, the second condition is necessary the innovation of information education which extends the concept of information from mechanical one to social/living on e. Unless these two conditions are met, the construction of human oriented information society will be unattainable.
