Description
The rapid integration of AI systems into various domains of human life has sparked both enthusiasm and concern. While some envision unprecedented productivity gains, economic growth, and improved healthcare access, others worry about unfair discrimination, workforce displacement, and threats to human autonomy. Treating AI as a tool for augmenting human capabilities rather than replacing them, could reap the benefits of AI while preserving human agency and values. AI Agents (i.e., AI systems that can pursue complex goals with limited direct supervision) hold great promises for the augmentation of human capabilities. However, the emergence of more sophisticated and capable AI agents, which may play increasingly large roles in human lives, raises new questions about the nature of this augmentation and the evolving relationship between humans and AI.
