As artificial intelligence tools become smarter and easier to use, the threat that they may take human jobs is real. They might also just make people much better at what they do, revolutionizing the workday for many. "What a bulldozer was to physical labor, AI is to data and to thought labor," said Naveen Rao (pictured), Ph.D., vice president and general manager of artificial intelligence solutions at Intel. Rao told John Furrier (@furrier), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's mobile live streaming studio, during South by Southwest in Austin, TX, that there are many examples of how AI can help streamline processes; one would be an insurance firm needing to read millions of pages of text to assess risk. "I can't do that very easily, right? I have to have a team of analysts run through, write summaries -- these are the kinds of problems we can start to attack," he said.
