Council Post: The Symbiosis Of People And Technology

Pascal Bornet is a recognized global expert, thought leader, and author in the field of Intelligent Automation. As machines become more intelligent and human-like, we don't need to fear that this will somehow diminish us as humans. Instead, it will augment us and potentially enable us to become even more human. Kristian Hammond, professor of computer science at Northwestern University, put it eloquently: "As we humanize machines, we stop mechanizing ourselves." In other words, the more effective machines become at doing repetitive tasks for us, the more we are empowered to spend our time and energy on interesting and creative tasks, leading to greater fulfillment and self-actualization.
