How AI Can Help Humans Become More Human

The beginning of a new year is a great time to imagine new possibilities, both for ourselves and for the world. And this year, as Sam Altman put it while accepting the 2023 Stephen Hawking Fellowship at Cambridge: "We stand on the threshold of a brave new world. It's an exciting yet precarious place to be." At the moment the AI conversation is focused on how to align AI with human values. But the possibility I'm most excited about isn't how AI can become more human -- it's how AI can help humans become more human.
