It is a compelling proof point for the importance of human expertise and intuition in the evolutionary and increasingly complex environment of human-machine interactions.

Have you seen the movie Hidden Figures (2016)? The film is based on the book Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race. To connect the juxtaposition of AI and human expertise, let me point to another interesting example. Inevitably, we all have met people whose deep knowledge, wisdom from experience and natural ability causes us to see them as something special and distinct from their peers – true artists of their trade. Far more impressive is when studying turns into mastery. With a little ambition, anyone can study a subject, be it piano or plumbing. Films such as Metropolis (1927), Blade Runner (1982), Bicentennial Man (1999), Her (2013) Transcendence (2014), every Star Wars movie, The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), and countless others reveal our intrigue with artificial intelligence (AI). Humans have been preoccupied with robots for a very long time.
