*Abstract*:
Increased public concern about Artificial Intelligence is a stimulus for
fixing a longstanding problem with the orientation of the field.
With 8 billion people, the world doesn't need to build artefacts that think like people. We want artefacts that think in a way *usefully* *different* from people. So the focus needs to be on 'Complementary Artefact Intelligence' (CAI), and on the application of Decision Support Systems (DSS) thinking, in order to combine Human and CA intelligence into 'Augmented Intelligence'.
But even that adaptation isn't enough. Thinking uses data to generate inferences, and data and inferences are then used for decision-making, which lays the foundation for action. So we need to integrate intelligence with action in the real world.
Humans use effectors, and we make artefacts active by endowing them with actuators. In this area as well, the primary need is for capabilities different from those of humans. Along with Augmented Intelligence, we need the focus of robotics to be on producing 'Complementary Artefact Capability' that is devised in order to be combined with human capability into 'Augmented Capability'.
Re-orientation from 'AI' to CAI, and on to Augmented Intelligence and Capability, will enable research to avoid a great many misdirected designs, undesirable side-effects, negative public reactions and 'AI winters'. It can deliver techniques that serve real-world needs and amplify humankind’s capacity for responsible innovation.
