This episode explores the promise of human-AI collaboration through distributed cognition - strategically allocating tasks between humans and artificial intelligences based on their respective strengths. We discuss case studies where combining human judgment and creativity with AI's data processing and pattern recognition capabilities leads to enhanced performance. Key insights include determining the optimal division of labor, designing fluent collaboration interfaces, and embracing the surprises of complementing biological with synthetic minds. Together, through partnership not replacement, humans and AIs can achieve collective intelligence surpassing either alone. This podcast was generated with the help of artificial intelligence.

We do fact check with human eyes, but there might still be hallucinations in the output. Music credit: "Modern Situations by Unicorn Heads"
