Getting Man And Machine To Collaborate Might Not Be As Easy As We Think

As artificial intelligence became more powerful, the discontent that it would eventually sweep all before it in the labor market grew and grew, with breathless reports predicting that up to half of jobs would be taken by our robotic overlords. Of course, that hasn't really happened, and more measured commentators now believe that AI is far more likely to augment jobs than eradicate them entirely. New research from the University of Southern California illustrates how powerful this combination could be. The study explores how effectively humans and AI collaborate together, with a particular focus on the forecasting profession. The authors highlight how collaboration between man and machine is increasingly common, especially in areas such as self-driving vehicles.
