Artificial intelligence as a driver for innovation

Though still in its infancy, artificial intelligence already is changing the world. However, it's not just about what the technology itself can do, but what it enables people to do -- what new doors it can open. AI presents government agencies with new opportunities to innovate that previously may have been impossible. AI is an umbrella term that encompasses a variety of capabilities that allow computer systems to perform tasks normally done by humans. Many people also are familiar with the term "cognitive computing." Cognitive leverages several AI components, such as machine learning, to understand, reason, learn and interact with humans naturally.
