In a 2024 WIRED interview, Mark Cuban said he’d trust a seeing-eye dog over a self-driving car, arguing that a dog can sense issues and identify “adversarial” situations better than AI. The interview is roughly two years old, so the remark should not be read as his current view.
The article contrasts Cuban’s support for AI as a business tool—drafting, summarizing and finding patterns when a person can review the output—with his concern about autonomous systems in unpredictable physical settings. It uses “adversarial” in the machine-learning sense of inputs designed to fool a model, not necessarily a hostile actor.
