Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies Solly Malatsi makes a point during the Social Media Summit for Government. The writer argues that the future will not belong to artificial intelligence alone. It will belong to augmented intelligence, where AI enhances human capability rather than replaces it.

One of the questions I explored during a panel discussion at the 6th Government Social Media Summit was deceptively simple: As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly capable, what should remain uniquely human?
It is a timely question. Much of today's conversation is captivated by what AI can do. It can analyse vast amounts of data, recognise patterns, generate content and translate languages in real time. The pace of innovation is extraordinary and with it comes understandable excitement.
Yet I left the discussion convinced that we may be asking the wrong question.
