Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman shared The Humanist Review, a newly launched publication backed by Microsoft AI (Issue 02 coming November 18 in San Francisco), focused on humanistic questions around AI and work.
Highlights this issue:
- Economist Daron Acemoglu: AI is chasing the wrong goal — instead of replacing workers, it should make them better at their jobs;
- Philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah: drawing on John Stuart Mill, on how AI shapes moral character — AI changes what we can do, who we become is still our choice;
- Philosopher Elizabeth Anderson: AI will change work, and the biggest loss won't be economic.
The publication also features essays like "why AI can't replace craft," curating content from Microsoft blogs and beyond.
