A Better Way to Think About AI

Automa­tion isn’t always the answer. The arti­cle explores how AI tools that aim to ful­ly auto­mate expert tasks often fail, lead­ing to reduced per­for­mance and dan­ger­ous over­re­liance. Instead, AI should be built to sup­port and ampli­fy human exper­tise. Col­lab­o­ra­tive sys­tems like AMIE show promise by engag­ing users in prob­lem-solv­ing, pre­serv­ing crit­i­cal think­ing, and improv­ing deci­sion-mak­ing. The future of AI lies in complementarity—designing sys­tems that work with humans, not around them. Source The Atlantic
