AI won’t take your job if you know about IA

Intelligence augmentation shows that human + AI is an ideal partnership – and the future of white-collar work

The less exciting but more likely reality is that the

changes AI brings to the workplace will entail upskilling —

when workers learn new skills — not reskilling or complete

replacement. And upskilling is not about surrendering to AI

5 but instead about mastering intelligence augmentation, or

IA, which is what happens when humans and AI work

together to accomplish more as a team than either could

flying solo. That collaboration is based on the distinction

between two concepts: reckoning and judgment.

10

Reckoning vs. Judgment

A critical difference between AI and humans is our

primary mode of operation. AI operates through what is

15 often referred to as “reckoning,” such as calculative

prediction. By that, we mean AI’s true capabilities are

grounded in facts and historical knowledge - data that can

be calculated, memorized, and repeated. It makes

predictions based on what it knows.

20 By contrast, humans operate through judgment or

practical wisdom. We understand things AI can’t possibly

know. That’s because we humans have lived experiences

that continually inform how we see the world. It’s the

intangible factors, like ethical considerations and

25 empathetic responses, that make humans better equipped

than AI to make complex decisions about human affairs.

This practical wisdom is one reason humans must

keep creating new things for IA to advance. Imagine

what would happen if humans stopped writing original content.

30 The current model of AI could never pass a certain point

because it would never encounter new, innovative ideas.

Eventually, AI would run out of new ideas to share, and our

collective knowledge would stagnate. AI is like moonlight;

its ideas come from the reflected sunlight of human insights.

35 Now, it’s essential to recognize that this contrast

between AI and humans is nothing to fear. Instead, it shows

us why “human + AI” is an ideal work partnership. AI can

perform massive calculations in the blink of an eye at a pace

far superior to even the most intelligent human on the

40 planet. When paired with a human capable of making quick

decisions based on lived experience, judgment, and

practical wisdom, it’s an immensely more powerful tool than

it is on its own.

Rocket Man

My father was a rocket man

He often went to Jupiter or Mercury, to Venus or to Mars

My mother and I would watch the sky

And wonder if a falling star

5 Was a ship becoming ashes with a rocket man inside

My mother and I

Never went out

Unless the sky was cloudy or the sun was blotted out

10 Or to escape the pain

We only went out when it rained

My father was a rocket man

He loved the world beyond the world, the sky beyond

15 the sky

And on my mother's face, as lonely as the world in

space

I could read the silent cry

That if my father fell into a star

20 We must not look upon that star again

Tears are often jewel-like

My mother's went unnoticed by my father, for his jewels

were the stars

25 And in my father's eyes I knew he had to find

In the sanctity of distance something brighter than a star

One day they told us the sun had flared and taken him

inside
