Summary. Editor's Note Until recently, we the humans have been able to be smug about our abilities. But at a time when artificial intelligence (AI) is making remarkable progress, it seems that our self-image as the smartest entities around is losing its vitality. Today, AI systems not only beat us at the most complicated games, but they can also write polished prose and win medals in maths. Tech CEOs promise us that superhuman AI is just round the corner. So, in an age of AI, are human minds still special, or merely also-rans? To find answers to this question, exploring the growing connection between human intelligence and AI is becoming increasingly important. In the instant write-up, which will be published in two parts, the author has asserted that we, the human beings need to elevate our own intelligence while using AI as a powerful collaborator.
