How machine intelligence complements humans in the workplace.
Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, the relationship between humans and machines has been, well, complicated.
Right around the time John Henry was losing his fictional battle with a steam-powered rock-drilling machine, a British author named Samuel Butler penned an article for a New Zealand newspaper entitled Darwin Among the Machines. In the article, Butler speculates that machines might also undergo evolution—eventually knocking humans off our dominant perch.
Happily, these tales of human demise at the hands of robots have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, the more we embrace artificial intelligence, the more obvious it becomes that people are a critical part of the equation.
AI today—and tomorrow
Enterprise AI has come a long way since it first made the scene back in 1974, when an expert system called Mycin used a series of if/then rules to diagnose blood infections more accurately than human medical students.
In a recent IEEE global study of 350 global CIOs, CTOs and technology leaders, more than one in five respondents (21%) predicted that AI/machine learning and cloud computing will be among the most important technologies of 2022. And 95% agreed that AI will drive the majority of innovation across nearly every industry sector in the next one to five years.
