AI is aggregated human intelligence. So it’s better to call it collective intelligence than artificial intelligence. Emphasizing the collectivity (something built on the commons) over the artificiality (a feat of technology) gives us an entire new way to see, perceive and relate to the technology. -via Holly Herndon, in conversation with Ezra Klein

But what if the meaning of AI is not to be found in the way it competes with, supersedes or supplants us? What if, like the emergence of network theory, its purpose is to open our eyes and minds to the reality of intelligence as something doable in all kinds of fantastic ways, many of them beyond our own rational understanding?
Maybe the true opportunity isn’t the expansion of our own individual knowledge or the mundane shaving off of seconds from the dull routines of interacting with our computers. Maybe, the real breakthrough lies in the potential these systems give us to expand our capacity to understand and work together.
