Looking Forward to the Autonomous Intelligent Enterprise

In a world that is moving towards autonomous vehicles, aircraft, and robots, many pundits predict autonomous digital enterprises are not far behind. According to analysts from Pegasystems, “The autonomous enterprise is an organization which comprehensively applies AI and automation to engagement, servicing, and operations across the organization to operationalize agility and create a business that can become self-optimizing.”

Towards Causal Artificial Intelligence

Good decisions begin with good questions. Three of the most important questions businesses should ask require finding causation before reliable answers can be determined. Those question types are: Associational questions (If I see X, what is the probability that I will see Y?); Interventional questions (If I do X, what is the probability that I will see Y?); and Counterfactual questions (What would Y have been, had I done X?) As a result, causal AI, which looks for causation rather than correlation, is essential for growing businesses.

Shorter Supply Chains are Upending Globalization Patterns

At the height of the pandemic, there were numerous calls for decoupling from China to protect national interests. As supply chain challenges eased and cooler heads prevailed, calls for decoupling decreased, but admonitions to de-risk supply chains increased. De-risking supply chains often means creating shorter ones.

Leadership and Decision-making

Leaders need to understand what decisions are important, how quickly they must be made, and what the consequences of certain decisions could be. Nevertheless, it’s easy for leaders to be overwhelmed by decision overload. One way to overcome decision overload is to let intelligent systems make routine decisions using the embedded expertise of the company’s best experts.

Artificial General Intelligence: Destroyer of Worlds?

This article explores the risks of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), a superintelligence that could potentially destroy humanity. Experts warn of AGI causing accidental harm or intentionally wiping out humans. While some believe AGI is unlikely, others advocate for regulation to control its development. The article concludes that caution is needed, but AI has potential benefits.

The Future of Process Automation is Intelligent

Data is king in business today. Companies use automation to process data and make decisions. Intelligent automation (IA) is a new kind of automation that uses AI and machine learning to handle complex tasks. IA can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and provide better customer service. While RPA automates repetitive tasks, IA uses AI to make decisions and solve problems. In the future, IA will become even more sophisticated with the use of Autonomous Decision Science. Businesses that adopt IA will be better positioned to compete in today's marketplace.
