From this perspective, the success of an AI-based weather app should not be evaluated based on how many farmers downloaded it, but by the extent to which the new AI technology creates a whole new behavioural ecosystem around it. This stage, at which the new technology becomes an agent of population-scale behavioural change, is when AI transforms itself into human-centred AI, which is what the world needs.
