Meet KAI, my company's first robotic employee • /r/artificial

Cognitive automation is an exciting future trend and we are at the forefront in helping our clients understand the implications for their organisation. KAI (short for KPMG Artificial Intelligence) is a Furhat Robotics artificial intelligence robot head and one of the newest components supporting the digital labour proposition and our wider cognitive automation agenda as a whole. KAI is a ground breaking user interface that replicates a human with social intelligence, allowing interaction between humans and computers. KAI's'brain' is powered by a state-of-the-art conversational intelligence platform which is used to build highly sophisticated and socially aware spoken interactions with the robot head. We have started to showcase KAI at various internal events and external presentations, including the recent Digital Labour Symposium and the Solutions Showcase. KAI has also given introductory presentations at client events. So far, we have used KAI in limited, controlled environments where his interactions are pre-programmed. The next step is to develop a back-end engine that will enable KAI to respond to and answer questions that a user poses. The data science team is currently working on this and we hope to have a live demo in the near future.
