There was a nice thing in one of the Alien spin off comics (though it probably appeared decades before in a book by Asimov or someone) where there was a science lab staffed by androids with a few humans to oversee proceedings. The androids were faster, tougher, more rigorous and just plain better than the humans. The humans were there to make value judgements.

I am bad with names but I think it was Joy Bualamwini. I am pretty sure about the MIT and that she was a grad student. IIRC the programme was "Business Daily in the last 5 or 6 days.
I am one of those people who can meet you after 20 years and remember that you played rugby for your school and not have any idea of what your name is.
