Minds and machines

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly ubiquitous and already transforming many aspects of our lives from how we manage our health to how we access news. Yet for all the hype and investment, most AI has focused on a relatively narrow set of applications with little attention given to the relationship between artificial intelligence and our collective human intelligence (CI) - the enhanced capacity that is created when groups think and work together to solve problems. We are at a critical turning point to set the trajectory of AI and we need to continue to challenge our thinking about what we want from AI in society and what role we want it to play. Unless we do, both AI and CI will continue to fall short of our expectations. So how do we start to think differently about AI's potential?
