“it can free up our minds and responsibilities for the tasks and social interactions we humans are best suited for”

“while it may threaten jobs, the ability to merge with technology, to coexist with AI could help us become “super humans,” Hausler said.”

“Machines need us more than we think, he said, and we need machines to make our work more exciting. “If we accept that we need each other in this life, we’ll both profit from it,” Hausler said.”

“Machines have limitations, especially in that they are inept in social situations.”

“To get the most out of AI, people need to understand the limitations of computation, and allow machines to do just what they’re good at, freeing up humans to do what they’re good at, such as social engagement, creativity, and logical reasoning.”

“At the same time, humans need machines to counteract the “deadly dullness” of dry, monotonous work, since the human brain is not made for the dull or repetitive, he said.”

“Hausler proposed a “third” sphere of the brain, in addition to the left and right, the parts that govern logic and creativity, respectively.”

“This third hemisphere has to do with repetition, accuracy, and speed.”

“By taking care of the dull and repetitive, AI lets humans focus on what they’re better suited for.”

“Using machines to clear up ambiguities in communication, to mediate among people who think differently, and to translate a person’s thoughts or patterns into tasks can help people find common ground, said Hausler.”

“”The moment we’re able to have a real brain computer interface, a frictionless, will be the moment we have access to this third hemisphere and can directly outsource every bulk task we have to a machine,” said Hausler.”
