What We Get Wrong About AI Replacing Humans

from Foresight Radio · host Thomas Koulopoulos

AI has been feared for a long time, with concerns that it will make humans irrelevant. However, history has shown that every time we automate something, we also create new value.

AI is a linear thinker, which means it can connect existing dots but not invent new ones. Humans excel at lateral thinking, which is essential for creativity and innovation.
