"AI is best understood as a reservoir of agency that can be used to solve problems" which it accomplishes "by detaching the ability to perform a task successfully from any need to be intelligent in doing so," writes Luciano Floridi Viewed from this perspective, "understanding the future of AI also means understanding the nature of problems where such a detachment may be technically feasible in theory and economically viable in practice." This can be determined by considering the complexity of the problem to be solved. "In short, we will seek to create hybrid or synthetic data to deal with complex problems, by ludifying tasks and interactions in enveloped environments." Good article, well reasoned, by someone who has thought deeply about these issues.
