Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive examination of the ongoing debate surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its societal implications, with a particular focus on job displacement. The release of generative AI tools for public use, particularly ChatGPT, has created numerous concerns on how these tools will be used and adverse impacts on society. Augmented Intelligence has been introduced as a concept utilizing AI to enhance human capabilities but its distinction as an assistive role is ill-defined. This research provides insights into the reconceptualization of AI as Augmented Intelligence examining their differences in terms of knowledge development, decision-making, and outcomes. Through three case studies, we demonstrate the assistive role of Augmented Intelligence and how it can serve as a catalyst for job creation and cognitive enhancement. We also explore the impact of AI and IA tools as a sociotechnical system and their effect on human cognitive abilities through the theoretical lens of the Dunning Kruger Effect. We conclude with a research agenda to stimulate future directions of research.
