THE FUSE

There seems to be growing concern as to how artificial intelligence (AI) will change our lives and possibly even who we are psychologically as well as biologically. Some suggest it will rob us of our humanity by fostering passive consumption of and over-dependence upon AI-generated information. Others suggest, similar to the Industrial Revolution, AI will relieve us of many of the burdens that plague us. They assert AI has the potential to bring out the best in us—to make us more human. So, is AI a friend or a foe? The answer appears to be, “It depends.”
