Augmented intelligence is the design of tools, interfaces and systems that expand human perception, reasoning, memory and creative capability.
Augmented intelligence reframes computation as a partner in human work, linking HCI, AI, knowledge systems, creative tools and Electronic Artefacts runtime research.

Definition
Augmented intelligence describes systems that increase human capability instead of pretending that computation should remove the human from the loop.
Scope
The concept includes creative software, AI assistants, knowledge work tools, graph interfaces, annotation systems, interactive analysis and decision support.
Applications
For Electronic Artefacts, augmented intelligence is relevant to VASTE, ORETH, machine listening, knowledge retrieval and future editorial tooling.
Limitations
Augmentation can become dependency when the user cannot inspect, correct or refuse system output. Responsible design preserves agency.
