He defines traditional computer programming as algorithm plus input producing output, and supervised machine learning as turning the desired output into part of the input so the computer can refine the algorithm.

Key Notes
He argues that usable AI requires clear metrics or outputs, clean data, and a working algorithm structure.
He says computers can refine and optimize an algorithmic structure, but cannot create that structure by themselves.
Jiang says AI does not have self-awareness and can only do what the algorithm tells it to do.
