Thinking Ahead: Optimizing the Future with Augmented Intelligence

Every day, "Artificial Intelligence" (A.I.) becomes more prevalent in the press, business and emerging technology. But we should regard all claims of Artificial Intelligence innovation with a healthy level of skepticism. "What exactly do you mean by A.I.? What do the systems do?" is a great way to open an A.I. discussion of any kind. Generally speaking, there are two main varieties of A.I., one of which is still squarely in the domain of science fiction and one that is already in use across hundreds of industries With the Computational Intelligence A.I., humans are a requirement in the process and workflow as they impart subject matter expertise and provide feedback on the output of algorithms leading to what can be regarded as Augmented Intelligence[1]. In the case of machine learning, human feedback improves accuracy and precision.
