Inteligencia Práctica versus Inteligencia Artificial: El Futuro de la Acción Directiva en las Empresas.

Debate abounds surrounding the future of work, motivated by the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution, and especially by the challenges that technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) pose. The development of AI in recent years threatens to replace human labor, which not only has social consequences, but also anthropological ones due to work's importance for human life. This paper compares AI with practical reason -i.e., properly human intelligence - in order to suss out if such a threat is real. First, it takes a theoretical approach to practical reason in light of classical philosophy, using Carlos Llano's theoretical framework as a reference. Then it contrasts this analysis with perceptions about AI gleaned from in-depth interviews conducted with executives and professionals at influential technology companies in Mexico City.
