Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a key driver of automation opportunities in businesses today, including advanced analytics, robotic process automation, and augmented capabilities. AI consists of two main technologies: machine learning and cognitive processing. Machine learning uses algorithms to analyze large data sets and create software that reacts to business needs and data. Cognitive processing takes data to the next step by turning information into meaningful intelligence in real time. It is the first step towards a meaningful output, and can anticipate and predict outlier events.
