contents Responding to the challenge of AI: retrieving human intelligence through labour Jordi Agusti-Panareda (Author) Jaume Agustí-Cullell (Author) In this article, we argue that both the exaggerated fascination with, and fear of, artificial intelligence (AI) stem from a flawed understanding of human intelligence (HI) – one that fails to retrieve its full potential. The current excitement about AI often disregards a concomitant dehumanization of HI itself. Taking labour as a key arena in which the future of intelligence is being shaped, this article advocates for a much more expansive conception of HI. We highlight its constitutive powers and dimensions, while also drawing attention to the often-forgotten limitations of AI. We contend that this pivotal moment of transition and its myriad challenges provide a unique opportunity to cultivate, at work, the intrinsically human dimensions of intelligence, which not only remain largely untapped but are also essential to humanizing labour. 10.16995/ilr.23798 DOI https://doi.org/10.16995/ilr.23798 publication.journalArticle
