> Tom Gruber, co-creator of Siri, wants to make "humanistic AI" that augments and collaborates with us instead of competing with (or replacing) us. He shares his vision for a future where AI helps us achieve superhuman performance in perception, creativity and cognitive function -- from turbocharging our design skills to helping us remember everything we've ever read and the name of everyone we've ever met. "We are in the middle of a renaissance in AI," Gruber says. "Every time a machine gets smarter, we get smarter."
I'm a big believer in Intelligence Augmentation, in the Engelbart tradition, over completely independent agents. I don’t think my ideal AI is one that has its own sense of agency and autonomy, rather I think of technology as an extension of myself, one that enhances my autonomy.
