AI is getting good enough that “Can it do this?” is becoming a less interesting question. For many tasks the answer will eventually be yes. So I am becoming more interested in another question: Even if AI can decide something, should it? > Which career fits me? > Who should I trust? > What should I believe? > Is this risk worth taking? > Should I leave? > Should I stay? > What should matter most now? I want AI involved in some of those questions. But I don't necessarily want it answering them for me. Capability and authority are different things. We have spent years expanding what machines are capable of doing. The next conversation may need to be about something much more human: What authority are we willing to give them?
