 How would Stephen compare humans and machines?
It is bringing together a diverse community of some of the world's best researchers, philosophers, psychologists, lawyers and computer scientists. Harry Armstrong, head of futures at Nesta, which publishes The Long + Short, spoke with Cave about the impact of AI. Stephen Cave: Thinking about the impact of AI is not something that any one discipline owns or does in any very systematic way. That means bringing together the technologists and the experts at developing these algorithms together with social scientists, philosophers, legal scholars and so forth. We want to create a space where many different disciplines can come together and develop a shared language, learn from each other’s approaches, and hopefully very quickly move to be able to actually develop new ideas, new conclusions, together. But that's different when we consider ourselves at a level of a society, as a polis [city state], or as an international community. And I think the more we understand a technology's relationship with those things, and the more we then consciously try to shape those things, the more we are going to influence the technology. These things are within the realms of what is feasible, and I think will help to shape the future. We can attempt to, but we don't know how things are going to evolve. The reality is, societies are much too complex for us to be able to shape them in any very specific way, as plenty of ideologies and political movements have found to their cost.
 They are complementary in their abilities and can benefit from one another
 He thinks they are similar enough that a conflict will arise  They are complementary in their abilities and can benefit from one another  They operate with similar systems of intelligence but to entirely different ends  Humans are at risk of losing access to knowledge if they let machines take over most tasks
