Overview

The important question is still human.

Beyond AI looks past both hype and resistance to ask what technology changes, what it makes easier and what people must continue to practise deliberately. It considers artificial intelligence as a powerful partner while protecting concentration, imagination, patience, judgement and independent thought.

“Progress should give us more freedom to live — not simply more reasons to stay busy.”
