Abstract
AI is Everywhere! Every day there is a new announcement of a new artificial intelligence (AI) powered solution, a new large language model or lately an agentic framework. Partly due to the hype created we are swamped by various predictions, discussions about their effectiveness, and impact on the community at large. On the other hand, a group of researchers proposes that the AI in fact stands for "Augmented Intelligence". And just like the previous iterations of AI and automation, it will augment human power. This round table brings a debate on this hypothesis and provides the audience with grounds for sound judgment and articulated opinions. Four participants from industry labs and academia will debate Artificial Intelligence vs Augmented Intelligence.
