Computer-human hybrids could be best at scanning for danger
IN A world of algorithms, there are still a few places where humans reign supreme. Instead, they are using eye-tracking and brain analysis to create a system that lets our natural intelligence shine. "It's a human and machine data system that collectively makes everything better," says Laura McNamara, an organisational anthropologist at Sandia National Laboratories. "Human beings are supremely good at pattern recognition, but what overwhelms that is having way too much data." What we're so good at is finding the signal in the noise.
