One of the leading proponents of man-machine integration is Gary Kasparov.
It is ironic, given that his defeat by Big Blue was one of the landmark moments of artificial intelligence progress. But he managed to turn the tables on his opponent beyond the chessboard and push for the idea of Freestyle Chess, where you are allowed to compete on human only, machine only, or mixed teams. In these competitions we are able to see that both man and machine only teams are at a disadvantage when faced with the mixed teams. This goes to show that neither side has an absolute advantage, neither side is truly superior, and we can Augment Human Intelligence. (A.H.I.?)
What are the practical implications of taking this view point? How would it change the way we relate with the machines? How does it change the future of work in the 21st century? What about art? Science?
