It's 2020 -- Stop Confusing Cognitive Automation With Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence has revolutionised every piece of technology it has touched. However, this augmentation -- for better or worse -- has also brought up a lot of confusion. With more and more AI application coming up in different fields, specifically in automation like Cognitive Automation, the conditions associated with it give the impression that the technology is artificially intelligent and seems to dilute the real meaning behind it. This poses a more significant problem as what qualifies as a mere application of AI can be called artificial intelligence. When we talk about automation and AI, there is a lot of buzz around cognitive automation as it uses technology to mimic human behaviour and precisely the reason why some people call it as cognitive automation artificial intelligence.
