How machine learning influences your productivity

For many in the enterprise, artificial intelligence (AI) versus intelligence augmentation (IA) is a distinction without a difference. The "intelligence" provided by AI technology entails tapping into increasingly cheap computer processing power to evaluate alternate options more quickly than humans could. Evaluating many options and learning from past experience -- using a technology called machine learning -- is how artificial intelligence is able to pick the best outcome available. With all the related information presented in a coherent context, the human can then make intelligent decisions about what to do next.
