Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) will increasingly outperform human beings in a growing number and variety of routine and complex tasks. And yet, intelligence alone may not be adequate for a just society, with laws and policies that promote a flourishing humanity. If AI can offer solutions to our most pressing global challenges, will humanity or AI reign and can AI become more human than us?
