Artificial Intelligence & Intelligent Automation

Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence in machines. This means that we can train algorithms to think and learn just like humans do. These systems can than be used to support decision making or to automate complex systems.

AI is the future!

Although AI will evolve even more in the future, we should not be blind to the effects that AI already has on our day-to-day lives. AI is being used across a wide range of industries, from healthcare and finance to transportation and retail. 

 

Artificial intelligence for all businesses?

Whether completely (and intelligently) automated or done by humans with computer level support, decision-making drives business value. Therefore AI and IA are often the last steps in the data value chain where high quality and well governed data is leveraged to make intelligent decisions.

What's the challenge?

Often in getting high quality data to train accurate models and developing automated pipelines to deploy these models in production. To be successful in a production environment we need to monitor both the model and the data. Thus running successful AI-applications requires some sort of maturity in data governance and a reasonably well developed data platform.

How we have helped our customers?

  • Identifying and prioritizing use cases
  • Developing proof of value for these use-cases
  • Deploying these cases in production
  • Monitoring the solutions
  • Teaching and upskilling personal about AI

Should we also mention that good governance and a data platform are needed to make this a success story? Yes, we need to store and access data, including metadata, monitor the model and the data and visualize the output.

"We shouldn't try to solve everything with AI. In fact it should probably be avoided when possible. However some challenges cannot be solved with traditional computer programs. Coincidentally, these are the challenges that are going to determine our future."

AI for everyone? It’s no alchemy run by wizards!

We should use AI to make our organization smarter! Chances are you’ve recently heard this statement and see organizations acting to it. Leading companies are using AI across departments to increase productivity. Customer care organizations are using chatbots and speech recognition in their customer contacts. Marketing departments are predicting churn and segmenting their customer base.

Venturing into the field of AI may seem daunting at first. While AI has been hyped immensely in the last decade, it is a deeply technical field. Gartner even made a prediction that 80% of AI will remain alchemy run by wizards whose talents won’t scale in the organization. Your organization probably doesn’t have the scale and technological know-how of Google, Apple or Facebook. This might lead you to conclude that developing AI models isn’t for you. You are right, partially.
