Focus on 'Augmented Intelligence' for next level of digital transformation: Analyst- Technology News, Firstpost

Companies should focus on "Augmented Intelligence", digital product management, and in creating a digital twin of an organisation (DTO) for their next level of digital transformation and boost in growth, a top Gartner analyst has said. Augmented Intelligence is the step beyond Artificial Intelligence (AI), where you marry AI with human capability, Partha Iyengar, Vice President and Gartner Fellow, told IANS in a telephonic interaction. The concept refers to the implementation of AI not just as a replacement of human work through automation, but as a means to augment their abilities. "Augmented Intelligence could be applied across processes, across verticals and even across job functions," Iyengar said, adding that some organisations in India, including Indian Oil, have already started focusing on AI augmentation in a big way. Globally, Singapore is at the forefront of implementing AI augmentation, according to Iyengar.
