AI is becoming an integral part of our lives. We first started to rely on neural networks while delivering our routine tasks like translating languages, providing customer service, diagnosing diseases. Today the approach to our collaboration has changed significantly - we more often listen and implement the tasks set by AI. Moreover, many analysts predict that the AI will ultimately replace human workers throughout the economy. But can we totally rely on AI? Are there any risks? What will be the consequences? Humans must understand how to most effectively augment machines, how machines can enhance what humans do best, and how to redesign business processes to support the partnership instead of being replaced. We should treat neural networks as a partner, they are brought to us for complementing and augmenting human capabilities, not replacing them.
