„AI will, in my opinion, bring humans and machines closer together, which is what sets it apart from past technologies. AI is occasionally misrepresented as a way for machines to replace people. Machines are meant to enhance human capabilities, not to take their place. In the coming years, human intentions and business processes will be able to scale by 10x, 50x, and even more due to the combination of the different relative strengths and weaknesses of humans and machines.“
