Augmented Intelligence or Artificial Intelligence? Which is Better?

Chapter 2: Understanding the Difference Between Augmented Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence

Hey everyone! I’m Rohit, and as you know, I’m writing a series of articles to explain AI in simple English. You’ve probably heard of Artificial Intelligence (AI), but have you heard of Augmented Intelligence? What’s that? Well, in this article, I’ll explain it in detail.

In my last article, I talked about AI.

To briefly define it: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a field that combines computer science with large amounts of data to recognize patterns, make predictions, and solve problems.

But Augmented Intelligence aims for the same thing in a different way.

What is Augmented Intelligence?
Augmented Intelligence is where AI works together with humans to enhance their abilities and help them make better decisions. Unlike the idea of AI replacing humans, Augmented Intelligence is all about supporting humans by providing helpful tools, insights, and assistance.

The goal of Augmented Intelligence is to help with tasks that are either too difficult or too time-consuming for humans.
