Synthesis of human and artificial intelligence: Review of “How to stay smart in a smart world: Why human intelligence still beats algorithms” by Gerd Gigerenzer

Futures & Foresight Science, 2022, vol. 4, issue 3-4

Abstract: Artificial intelligence, due to being heavily researched and funded, reaches new peaks of performance by the hour. In his new book, Gigerenzer (2022) addresses the predominantly positive perspective on AI with an advocacy for the uniqueness of the human intellect. He outlines strengths of human intelligence and the failures as well as dangers of AI. While the book presents an enlightening case for human intelligence, the author misses out on exploring a more productive approach: The synthesis of human intelligence and AI. In the present review, I introduce strengths and weaknesses of both types of intelligence and focus on the potential of synthetic cooperation between them. I support my plea for cooperation with two recent research ventures, namely, the regulation of digital social media platforms and predicting the societal effects of emerging innovations.
