Indeed, many now argue that the promise of exascale computing and the slow migration towards a computational society may represent a new threshold in human history. This transcension of earlier stages of tool-mediated work and learning foreshadows a momentous change in the kinds of cities we might build, the kinds of medicine we might practice, and the kinds of education we might provide. What is perhaps most surprising about the current Computational Revolution, however, is its expanding reach. The question that many now ask is what is the trajectory of this human-machine symbiosis? It would appear that we are on the cusp of a sea change in our capacities to augment human intelligence. But what is the future of work and learning?

Technology has altered human life for centuries, but the current Computational Revolution is changing they way our species thinks—literally and figuratively—about everything. How will human and machine fusion remake our world? These essays explore this important question from fresh, sober, and inspiring perspectives.”  —\u003ci\u003ePeter Marber, Center for Global Affairs at New York University and author of\u003c\/i\u003e Brave New Math: Information, Globalization, and New Economic Thinking in the 21st Century\u003cbr\u003e\"Daniel Araya’s book could not be more timely. Devoid of any utopian or dystopian hype, it provides a level-headed, deep, and critical examination of many of the most cutting-edge questions of our time, as ever “smarter” machines continue to automate many human activities and decisions. From machines' roles in labor and learning to the importance of unique human sensing capabilities and of our physical embodiment of intelligence, and from issues of social justice and human values to the imperative of appropriate governance, Daniel Araya and his contributors have created an important primer, if not in fact a roadmap, for further exploration and policy-making that has yet to find its match among AI books. \u003ci\u003eAugmented Intelligence: Smart Systems and the Future of Work and Learning\u003c\/i\u003e leans forward to convert these questions into higher value, more focused hypotheses on the potential of intelligence augmentation: the emergence of collective intelligence and more people-centric co-creativity at work; promises and perils of brain emulation and cognitive prosthetics that drive cultural and political shifts; and redefinitions of what it means to be human and to live in societies that will have ever more differentiation of intelligence among us. A potent compendium for anyone concerned with large scale transformations in our world.\"  —\u003ci\u003eOlaf J.
