As the world seems to be increasingly affected by the ever-expanding influence of machines in general and artificial intelligence (AI) specifically, many begin to imagine, with either fear or anticipation, a future with a diminished role for human decision making. Whether it be due to the growing presence of AI assistants or the emergence of self-driving cars, the necessity of the role of humans as the decision makers would appear to be in decline. After all, our capacity for making mistakes is well documented. However, perhaps the saving grace of human determination is to be found here as well. Little evidence exists that suggests modern AI’s infallibility or predicts it in the future. It is crucial that, in light of humanity’s acceptance of our own fallibility, we utilize our capacity to overcome such failures to position ourselves as the overseers of AI’s own growth and applications for the foreseeable future.
