HOW DO WE THINK ABOUT THE INVOLVEMENT OF HUMANS WITH AI SYSTEMS?

• What do we think AI systems should be capable of?
• What do we think human systems should be capable of?
• We know how to quantify error, but do we really know how to quantify error?
• Almost every question about AI comes down to augment vs. replace, and yet humans tend to skew towards the replace angle. 
• We like the thought of humans in the loop, but often don’t want to be bothered to interact with humans
• We haven’t yet created a framework to think about the human +/- AI involvement, because we haven’t really created it for general-purpose automation yet either.
