In the interview, Ben makes his stance on the popularized idea in the media and marketing that AI systems will be partners to humans. Instead, Ben believes that they are not partners, but like any other innovation before they will just be tools that enhance existing human ability. I agree with this. As AI as developed and entered into business and enterprise use cases, we can see that AI is acting as a tool to enhance human ability rather than some kind of equal value partner. Especially in the case of data science for large companies, AI is enhancing existing data scientists but making their work so efficient that they can now achieve much more in the same amount of time. This is exactly the kind of enhancing of already existing human ability Ben was talking about.
