IBM: AI Should Stand For 'Augmented Intelligence' - InformationWeek

IBM: AI Should Stand For'Augmented Intelligence' In response to a White House request for information about how to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) for the public good, IBM argues we should focus on a different sort of AI, augmented intelligence. In May, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy announced a series of workshops focused on advances in AI, to explore the benefits and challenges of the technology, while also committing to the deployment of AI to improve government services. AI has made great strides in the past few years, after decades of unfulfilled promise. It's hard to find a major technology company today that isn't looking at AI-related disciplines like machine learning, natural language processing, image recognition, and neural networks as potential sources of growth, efficiency, and innovation. Everyone working with information technology, if not already dealing with some form of AI, can expect to be doing so soon.
