Mark Cuban shares a simple advantage he thinks will keep humans ahead of AI: humility

Mark Cuban says AI's inability to admit uncertainty shows why people still matter in the machine age.AP Photo/David ZalubowskiMark Cuban said AI's fatal flaw is that it can't admit when it doesn't know the answer.Humans' ability to be humble and say "I don't know" will always give an edge over machines, he said.Cuban previously predicted AI could mint a trillionaire and become the biggest force in politics.Mark Cuban thinks the anti-AI crowd still has something to hold onto — humanity's ability for introspection and humility.In a post on BlueSky on Tuesday, the billionaire investor and longtime "Shark Tank" star said artificial intelligence has a critical blind spot: it can't admit when it doesn't know something."A little solace for the Anti AI crowd," he wrote. "The greatest weakness of AI is its inability to say 'I don't know'.""Our ability to admit what we don't know, will always give humans an advantage."Cuban's comment echoes a growing concern in the AI debate. While the technology is rapidly advancing — generating humanlike text, coding software, and even creating realistic images and videos — it's also fueling fears of AI replacing workers or diminishing the value of human labor.Yet, it remains prone to "hallucinations," the industry term for when an AI confidently delivers an answer that's flat-out wrong.For Cuban, the problem is also philosophical.While humans can acknowledge gaps in knowledge, step back, and seek more information, machines are programmed to produce an output every time.Cuban's track record on AI predictionsThe billionaire has been outspoken on AI's potential to reshape industries, often making bold predictions while underscoring the risks.He's warned that the $1 trillion AI arms race will "get ugly" as companies hoard top researchers and intellectual property, insisting that "IP is king" in the fight for dominance.He's predicted that AI could create the world's first trillionaire — potentially "just one dude in a basement" — while also arguing that the technology will help create new companies and jobs rather than simply wipe out existing ones.He's also said AI will become the most powerful weapon in US political campaigning, adding that Republicans are already ahead of Democrats on that front.Read the original article on Business Insider
