AI excels at tasks but fails at prioritization and decisions.

I argue that the future of AI will be humans. Human oversight is critical because most companies struggle with integrating AI into decision-making effectively. While AI can enhance scalability, human involvement remains essential. Students in my eCornell certificate tell me AI is great at summarization and coding, serving as a dynamic checklist and memory. Where does it fall short? Guiding students in choosing what to prioritize. Human decision-making remains irreplaceable, no matter how “generalizable” Manus claims to be. True AI success isn’t about replacing humans but augmenting them.
