AI Shouldn't Compete With Workers--It Should Supercharge Them

In 1950, Alan Turing famously created what's now known as the Turing Test, a way of deciding whether a computer is intelligent. If the computer could converse so fluently that it passed as a human? Turing's test became the north star for generations of AI pioneers. For decades, they've labored mightily to mimic basic human skills, with wild success: We've now got AI that can hold conversations, draw pictures, or play expert rounds of chess, Go, and fast-paced video games. But now some AI thinkers wonder whether we've succeeded a little too well--at the wrong task.
