OpenAI proposes AI as a tool for expanding human agency
OpenAI published their vision for "AI for self empowerment," focusing on how AI can close the capability gap between what people want to accomplish and what they can actually do. This philosophical shift toward human augmentation rather than replacement has profound implications for how we design AI interfaces that preserve user autonomy while expanding their capabilities.
