Excitement and momentum in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning has been accelerating with a global AI race in progress. After spending a decade on the front lines of the AI revolution, the author discovered the one key ingredient that was missing from mainstream AI research--humans! This book explains how augmenting humans, combining human intuition and artificial intelligence, will herald an unprecedented era of productivity and financial success. The coming wave of human centered AI will help us solve the biggest problems facing humanity while also protecting us from rogue or weaponized AI systems. It includes a framework for creating hybrid solutions combining AI, machine learning, and human intuition that can, predict the future, improve our social lives, eliminate scarcity, and provide a clear roadmap to abundance and prosperity in the financial, health, and relationship industries that represents trillions in economic opportunity over the next decade.

From the Back Cover
--Alex Wissner-Gross PhD, Fellow, Harvard University
"This book is a comprehensive overview of the history, current state, and potential future of AI. The author develops the point of view that humans will retain a close connection with AI systems and that these hybrid systems in addition to the industrial benefits, may paradoxically help us become more human, i.e. more passionate, curious, and caring as well as more productive in the arts."
--Tom Morse PhD, Neuroscientist, Yale University
"One of the best complications of AI history and discussion about its future. In a captivating and approachable sequence of thought-provoking topics with references to a wide body of award-winning literature, the author manages to artfully weave seventeenth-century England and dreaming and Gestalts with Passion Quotients and Healthcare Centaurs and symbiotic superhuman augmented intelligence. I look forward to digesting and re-reading this book several times!"
exceptionally bright writer. The ideas Bates puts forward are clear, cogent and understandable to those of us not in the AI world. Although the depth of his technical expertise may be expected, the breadth of his knowledge is really impressive. I work in a creative field and especially appreciate his awareness regarding creative work.
We are going at warp speed toward a new world. "Augmented Mind" is a roadmap. Fully recommend."
--Bill Bowling, Production Consultant, Warner Brothers & Netflix
