Coast to Coast: Samuel Arbesman, a fellow at Weatherhead School of Management’s xLab, described computing and artificial intelligence (AI) as a “humanistic liberal art,” tied to language, philosophy, and biology. In Arbesman's new book, The Magic of Code, he urges rekindling wonder in technology. Rather than replacing people, Arbesman sees AI as a partner that enhances human thought, shifting coding itself as machines now write code.
