Why is AI so far from perfect?

BBC World Service - Digital Planet, Why is AI so far from perfect?

Why is AI so far from perfect and what can be done to improve it?

Why is AI so far from perfect?  Could driverless cars tested in California be used in the developing world and how deep fake images can be better detected.

A special episode looking at AI – why it still is far from perfect?  We discuss what would happen if you took a driverless car from the streets of California and put it on roads in a developing country, why deep fakes are so difficult to detect and how the images that are used to teach machines to recognise things are biased against women and ethnic minorities.
