Augmented Intelligence
Augmented intelligence positions AI as a tool that amplifies human capabilities rather than replacing human judgment. In medicine, AI highlights anomalies for physicians to review; in legal work, AI surfaces relevant precedents for lawyers to evaluate.
The term is often preferred over "artificial intelligence" in enterprise contexts to emphasize that AI systems are designed to support human decision-making rather than operate autonomously. It reflects a human-centered design philosophy.
