Deep dives

The Complementary Role of AI

AI is viewed as a tool that complements human abilities rather than replacing them. While there are widespread fears surrounding AI's potential dominance, it is argued that these concerns stem from a misunderstanding of human intelligence. The uniqueness of human cognition encompasses emotional intelligence, creativity, and a deep capacity for relational understanding that AI cannot replicate. Consequently, instead of replacing human jobs, AI is expected to enhance productivity and efficiency in various domains, such as education and healthcare.
