Things That Make You Go Hmmmm
We ought, from time to time, examine our assumptions.

Pertinet Parts

AI is already superior to humans in a number of tasks, but the future of work isn’t a zero-sum game in which there can only be one winner. “The question of whether AI will replace human workers assumes that AI and humans have the same qualities and abilities - but, in reality, they don’t,” noted De Cremer and Kasparov. “AI-based machines are fast, more accurate, and consistently rational, but they aren’t intuitive, emotional, or culturally sensitive. And, it’s exactly these abilities that humans posses and which make us effective.”

Experience with advanced chess tournaments has shown that the strength of the human players, - whether grandmasters or amateurs, - is not what determines the winning team. Rather, it’s the quality of the partnership that matters, that is, the process of how players and computers interact. As Kasparov succinctly put it “Weak human + machine + better process was superior to a strong computer alone and, more remarkably, superior to a strong human + machine + inferior process.”
“The enhancing and collaborative potential that we envision stands in stark contrast to the zero-sum predictions of what AI will do to our society and organizations,” wrote the authors in conclusion. “Instead, we believe that greater productivity and the automation of cognitively routine work is a boon, not a threat. After all, new technology always has disruptive effects early on in the implementation and development phases and usually reveals its real value only after some time.”
