AI is aggregated human intelligence. So it’s better to call it collective intelligence than artificial intelligence.

Humanity is waking up to the challenges and opportunities of artificial intelligence, but we don’t yet understand our role. People talk about unexplainable AI when they should be more concerned about the unexplainable humans running the companies that develop the AI. (Hiya, Sam!)
