Amelia and the rise of digital labour

The market opportunity for artificial intelligence has been expanding rapidly, with analyst firm IDC predicting that the worldwide content analytics, discovery and cognitive systems software market will grow to US 9.2 billion in 2019. Automating IT and business processes for enterprises is cited by some as having a potential 5 – 7 trillion economic impact by 2025. IPsoft are one of the businesses on the front line of this new disruptive wave of technology and their solutions aim to transform business performance through the employment of'digital labor', most famously its cognitive agent Amelia. Amelia is capable of analyzing natural language, she understands context, applies logic, learns and resolves problems. Her declarative memory consists of both episodic memory and semantic memory, exactly the way human memory is organized.
