Teaming up with AI as a work buddy
Ray Kurzweil believes that AI will become more than a gadget used in the workplace. It will become more of a collaborative partner.
AI could understand how you work during the day. It would help you with creative or big-picture problems. He envisions augmented AI — where AI and humans combine to make a powerful team. It’s the opposite of the fear of AI replacing humans.
“Sometimes people talk about conflict between humans and machines, and you can see that in a lot of science fiction. But the machines we’re creating are not some invasion from Mars. We create these tools to expand our own reach.” — Ray Kurzweil
