Exploring Symmetries in Life and Practice

The Digital Enterprise and Boring AI

When critics raise the specter of artificial intelligence (AI) systems annihilating humankind, they are referring to artificial general intelligence (AGI) systems (i.e., sentient computers with a will of their own). No such system currently exists (although generative AI systems can sometimes appear spookily self-aware). The truth is that AI systems can be extremely beneficial to businesses, even if they seem boring compared to AGI.

Biden Signs Executive Order Regulating Artificial Intelligence

President Biden's Executive Order on AI encompasses regulations ensuring safety, privacy, equity, and innovation. It addresses deepfakes, data privacy, bias, worker support, competition, global leadership, and responsible government AI use, signaling a pivotal shift in AI governance.

Digital Transformation and Cognitive Computing

What does it mean to be a digital enterprise? Don't be fooled by the tech jargon. It's about a complete transformation - culture, operations, and technology. This article explores how cognitive computing can be the secret weapon in your digital transformation journey.

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.

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.
