augmenting human capabilities

Terms from Artificial Intelligence for Human Computer Interaction

AI and automation in general can be used to replace humans, and sometimes this is appropriate. Alternatively it can be used to augment human intellectual (and physical) abilities. This has been a long-term goal of early visionaries such as Licklader and Engelbart, but has become a recurrent theme in the face of the growth of AI.
