Intelligence Augmentation via Artificial Intelligence: IA rather than AI

This keynote for the 2022 Empowering Learners in AI conference describes an important, underemphasized issue: While many forecasts chart an evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) in taking human jobs, more likely is a future where AI changes the division of labor in most work-roles, driving a need for workforce development to shift towards uniquely human skills. This forecast implies that learning knowledge, skills, and dispositions for work should increasingly prioritize capability building of human judgment, applied wisdom, and decision making—at the expense of developing some reckoning skills that AI will assume.
