summary
Laurence Devillers discusses how AI, as a powerful tool that lacks feelings and neutrality, can be used for the common good by amplifying human capabilities. She explains concrete benefits—improving healthcare, anticipating crises, informing complex decisions, and personalizing education—while emphasizing the need for education about AI’s limits, biases and strengths so humans remain critical, in control, and can steer AI toward social progress.
