3 Things You Need To Know About Augmented Intelligence

Steve Jobs was fond of saying that the key to Apple's success has been a marriage of technology and the liberal arts. What he meant by this is that innovation emerges at the intersection of art and technology– rather than either alone. In fact, it was Douglas Engelbart who first understood the importance of computer technologies in bootstrapping human capabilities and augmenting human creativity. Building on Engelbart's thinking, we need to begin to better comprehend the challenges of machine intelligence in the context of human creativity and innovation-- particularly with regard to our systems of learning and education. Since its inception some sixty years ago, artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from an arcane academic field into a powerful driver of social and economic change.
