Rumman Chowdhury cautions that, no matter how useful AI can be, users shouldn't have it do their thinking for them, a timely warning amid technology companies' race to develop artificial general intelligence. "Chowdhury, who described herself as a 'tech optimist,' said AI in and of itself isn't an issue — it's how people apply it that makes all the difference. She said she doesn't believe the technology has reached its full, beneficial potential, and there are ways to help it get there," writes Business Insider's Sarah Perkel.
