We've got it backwards - UIB

The future needs to be more human (and less machine). For decades now, we have created computer programming languages and forced entire generations across the globe into becoming engineers and learning how to code. We have succeeded beyond our wildest dreams (we've created machines that can now learn on their own), and we have failed beyond our worst nightmares (we've created "black box" artificial intelligence (AI) which we don't -- and can't -- understand). It's time for us to rethink the future we're so effectively creating. I'm concerned by this trend, where we focus our mental energy into machines, rather than having them understand us more.
