AI & Automation

The convergence of automation with artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) is creating opportunities to increase efficiency and productivity. The ability of machine learning algorithms that find patterns in large data, learn, optimize processes, and hone efficiencies provide new approaches to augmenting automated processes. Though there are differences between automation and artificial intelligence, they can be considered as complementary, each providing capabilities to creating more sophisticated automated process or smarter machines. Both automation and AI are transformative on its own, and will be more powerful together.
