Artificial Intelligence Is Not Replacing Intelligence, It Is Amplifying It
By Brian AJ Newman Employment and Human Rights Advocate There seems to be a growing divide in society whenever the subject of artificial intelligence is raised. On one side are those who embrace it. On the other are those who fear it. I believe both views miss the point. Artificial intelligence is not here to replace human intelligence. It is here to enhance our ability to manage information, communicate ideas and solve problems more efficiently. More importantly, I believe w

"Anything But Aboriginal" - Growing Up Knowing, But Being Told to Deny Who I am
