McKinsey & Company, a global management consulting firm that helps organizations make significant and lasting improvements to their organizational performance, estimates that AI can automate as much as 45 percent or more of any particular job, allowing workers to focus on higher level, mission-critical activities. Preez provides two examples of this already in use: 1. AI-driven natural language interfaces make interacting with applications much easier and speeds up many individual steps within a process. "For example, natural language processing can allow doctors to dictate clinical notes into a device, which then automatically populates appropriate forms, lab orders and prescriptions. Or it can summarize long blocks of text from medical journal articles or studies by identifying key concepts and phrases," Preez explains. The second example he mentions is the utilization of machine learning, which is a component of AI.
