What Is Augmented Intelligence?
Search Enterprise AI, Tuesday, November 26th, 2024
Augmented intelligence is the use of technology to enhance a human's ability to execute tasks, perform analysis and make decisions.
In augmented intelligence, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) systems are commonly used in an assistive role to help humans in a task, as opposed to replacing them. For example, this could look like running complex enterprise software to streamline business processes handled by humans, using AI to help write code or using a virtual assistant to assist in answering a question.
The term is sometimes used in contrast to artificial intelligence, particularly when autonomous AI is used to replace human intelligence. In practice, most AI applications today support augmented intelligence since humans are also involved in the process of developing and implementing AI, providing context, improving accuracy and ensuring its safety.
