Dividing work between humans and AI

Why it matters: Figuring out where humans need to play a role — whether for their common sense, skills or ethics — is a key task facing society as AI systems grow increasingly powerful. Between the lines: Getting humans and AI systems to work together well requires a sober and sophisticated understanding of where each excels and where they stumble. AI systems are really good at digesting vast amounts of data and increasingly good at presenting their findings in creative and even inventive ways. Importantly, humans can learn by venturing out into the world and having new experiences, while AI systems are largely limited to the diet of digital information on which they are trained. But as AI systems take on more tasks, over time there may be a dwindling number of humans with the needed expertise.
