AI is often seen as artificial, but it is deeply intertwined with human intelligence. Rather than an independent force, AI reflects and amplifies human cognitive abilities, evolving through pattern recognition, decision-making, and learning. Mislabeling AI as artificial creates misconceptions that impact ethics, adoption, and accountability. By redefining AI as Natural Intelligence Augmentation (NIA), we acknowledge its role as an extension of human ingenuity, enhancing creativity, productivity, and problem-solving. This shift in perspective is crucial for fostering trust, innovation, and ethical development in the future of AI.
AI is evolving, and so is the way we define it. Kyle’s latest article explores why AI isn’t truly ‘artificial’ and how redefining it can reshape our understanding of intelligence and foster AI adoption.
