Schrodinger’s Automation in AI and the Automation Bias
Automation is one way in which we can have human-centered Artificial Intelligence. It can relieve us from repetitive and mundane tasks so that we can make the most of our human skills and talents. That said, we may have to use those human skills and talents as a check on Artificial Intelligence and its outcomes, or perhaps to solve the problems that appear when we don’t open the box. We can be said to have an Automation Bias, where we assume that technology just works.
