The difference between artificial intelligence and automation

As the emergence of AI grows stronger, many have begun to conflate this technology with the previous wave of automation that has gone before it. Chris Boos, CEO and founder of Arago refutes this stance, and explains how publishers and other businesses are already practically applying artificial intelligence to their brands. Chris Boos is featured prominently on the homepage of the Arago website, along with an immediate introduction to his own personal mission statement: 'empowering human potential, freeing up time for creativity and innovative thinking through artificial intelligence (AI).' It's a notably human-focussed shop window for the now 23 year old German company, which specialises in helping clients to leverage artificial intelligence to reinvent their business models for the digital age. One anecdote Boos tells us is around the computer game Civilisation, where the turn-based strategy has been used to facilitate greater machine learning within an investment fund. As he talks about the ability of games to educate both children and adults, it's clear that Boos is taking a'ground up' approach to building digital intelligence.
