Why AI Should Rightfully Mean Augmented Intelligence, Not Artificial Intelligence

Perhaps "artificial" is too artificial of a word for the AI equation. Augmented intelligence describes the essence of the technology in a more elegant and accurate way. AI has been around for some time, and Dr. David Bray, executive director of the People-Centered Internet, sees the current "third wave" of AI as a convergence of neural networks, deep learning, pattern matching, Internet of Things, and scaling tasks beyond human limitations. AI's power and potential arises from pairing humans and machines, so that "the human is learning from the machine and, at the same time, the machine is learning from the human. Bray explored the possibilities of augmented intelligence in with a recent CXOTalk interview, where he was joined by Fred Laluyaux, CEO and President of Aera Technology. The discussion was hosted by Michael Krigsman, founder of CXOTalk and well-known industry commentator. Are organizations ready to embrace the power of augmented intelligence? Business leaders or C-level executives "intuitively know that the way they organize and the way decisions are being made in their organization is not sufficient anymore," he explains. "The way decisions are made has not really fundamentally evolved.
