I wrote about changing the narrative from "intelligent agent" to "thinking tool" and it looks like Stanford is paying attention. ;-)
We encourage the university to view goals in this space in line with the philosophy of Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) to make sure that the use of AI is centered on improving the human condition. Thus, we prefer to focus on “augmenting human capabilities” versus “replacing humans.”
