Making Computers Better Vs Using Them To Enhance Ourselves

Making Computers Better Vs Using Them To Enhance Ourselves

For years, writers, scientists and entrepreneurs have shown us visions of our future relationships with computers and robots.

Should we aim for total automation with the target of greater safety and higher efficiency? Or should we aspire to augmentation – using technology to enhance our abilities without replacing us?

As artificial intelligence and robotics mature enough to become integrated into everyday life, we need to start making this choice. We need to choose wisely, or we might just automate ourselves and the natural world out of existence.

Enhance, Not Replace

Enhance, Not Replace

Artificial intelligence can, in theory, enable us to replace all actors, singers, musicians and composers.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
