Commentary: Much of the hype around AI today focuses on replacing humans, but what the world actually needs more of is AI that complements humans.
The world needs a pro-human AI agenda
It is both technically feasible and socially desirable to have AI that complements workers, improves our information ecosystem, and strengthens democracy.
