Key Insights from the Pryon Government AI Forum
Explore the latest advancements and practical applications of AI in the public sector from the Pryon Government AI Forum event.
Science fiction movies typically position machines as hostile forces. Rogue artificial intelligence (AI)-powered robots seize control of critical political and business functions and dominate the world’s people until checked by a brave iconoclast.
But the reality we face is much brighter than those celluloid nightmares. Machines provide ultra-fast processing capabilities, the ability to automate complex tasks, and the tools to drive to insight. People provide leadership, creative problem solving, and the desire to train machines to do more. When they work cooperatively, machines and people can tackle ever-more complex challenges. From addressing industry issues and climate change to empowering knowledge workers to innovate faster, our future will be characterized by a closer partnership between machines and people that will benefit both.
This vision for cooperative man-machine relationships is called augmented intelligence. Other common synonyms for this technology trend include enhanced intelligence, intelligent augmentation, intelligence amplification, cognitive augmentation, and decision support.
So, just what is augmented intelligence? Gartner states that “Augmented intelligence is a design pattern for a human-centered partnership model of people and artificial intelligence (AI) working together to enhance cognitive performance, including learning, decision making and new experiences.”
California Management Review describes it simply as “AI systems designed to help humans make better decisions.”
Augmented intelligence acknowledges the reality that machines have enormous capabilities but do not always need to work autonomously in order to provide value. Data scientists train data models so that computers can think, learn, and act like humans, which we call artificial intelligence. Augmented intelligence, on the other hand, seeks to enhance and extend human capabilities. Both are needed, and AI is an important precursor to reaping the benefits of augmented intelligence.
Augmented intelligence uses technologies such as natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML), and computer vision to perform five critical functions:
Company interest in augmented intelligence is growing quickly. In fact, Allied Market Research expects sales of hardware, software, and services to reach $121.57 billion in sales by 2030. Even in its early days, augmented intelligence is delivering incredible benefits. In 2019, Gartner predicted that AI augmentation would create $2.9 trillion in new business value and unleash 6.2 billion hours of worker productivity. Those gains are likely larger, due to the fast pace of digital transformation that has occurred over the past two years.
"In just about every occupation, smart tools and services are emerging that can help us do our jobs more efficiently, and in 2022 more of us will find that they are a part of our everyday working lives.” - Futurist Bernard Marr
As a form of artificial intelligence that is designed to help, not replace, humans, augmented intelligence can help drive efficiencies for organizations — without the risk or controversy of fully automated AI approaches.
Augmented intelligence:
Multiple trends are accelerating the development and implementation of augmented intelligence. These trends include:
Augmented intelligence solutions are predominantly deployed by enterprises. That’s because developing and training AI models to execute complex processes takes time, investment, and hard work by skilled data scientists.
However, there’s an easier way to get started: deploy a low-code or no-code solution for a specific use case.
Augmented intelligence leader Pryon offers virtual assistants that streamline workflow in key business functions and can be deployed within minutes. For example, the Agent Augmentation Assistant provides call center agents with instant access to complex data, such as solution technical specifications, enabling them to deliver better service to customers.
"By 2030, decision support/augmentation will surpass all other types of AI initiatives to account for 44% of the global AI-derived business value." — Gartner
Augmented intelligence is being used widely across industries. Here’s what industry companies are doing today
Companies have already embedded AI into critical processes. They can use this information, as well as insight into their current challenges, to determine:
Pryon is an artificial intelligence company that is transforming enterprise knowledge into interactive experiences. Recognizing that companies want faster results to increase competitiveness, we offer a no-code platform that can be deployed in minutes. Companies can deploy the Pryon platform, point it at a knowledge base, and watch it get to work.
Pryon uses natural language processing to perform deep search and answer questions at ultra-fast speeds and with industry-leading accuracy. Companies deploy our platform to master such challenges as streamlining employee onboarding and HR processes, optimizing IT support, and improving workplace safety.
