#AugmentedIntelligence
will become #futureofwork
There’s lots of anxiety about automation of jobs because machines are learning how humans do
things – they’re also learning how to do them better. But this automation is mostly for procedural work
that humans don’t really like doing. Augmented Intelligence, where machines and humans work
together, allows us to better understand and improve operations too complex for the human mind to
manage with faster time to insights. It will redefine management and place greater emphasis on soft
skills, that is, critical thinking, cognitive flexibility, emotional intelligence, imagination, and creativity,
with a greater emphasis on lifelong learning.

what I actually do ;-)

The difference between Intelligent Automation and AI

#ArtificialIntelligence projected to drive $15.7 trillion of global #GDP gains by 2030
By 2020, #AI will a top five investment priority for
>30% of CIOs #GartnerAI
AI have’s pull ahead of have nots as biggest winners

Bill Gates: ’If you invent a breakthrough in AI , so machines can
learn, that is worth 10 Microsofts'

Why companies are reimagining business processes with algorithms
“Machines can
attend to vastly
more
information and
more complex
processes than
human beings.”
“Data is new oil and #AI is
the refinery”……Steve Ardire

Using #AugmentedIntelligence as strategic capability

“What's missing from machine learning is
understanding and generalizations”
- Yoshua Bengio
To Build Truly Intelligent Machines, Teach Them
Cause and Effect- Judea Pearl
Deep Learning cannot do true conversational AI
because 'intent based' NLU lacks meaning,
understanding, ability to generalize.
Pat.ai Conversational AI service provides
meaning - the missing piece - to create positive
human-machine interactions where reasoning
and 'common sense' are by-products.

#emotionAI defines context of interaction
for understanding behavior and perception
Competitive Advantage of Emotion Synthesis
capable of understanding and generating any emotional state
via wave computing controlling in real-time with facial micro
expressions and body languages of a robot or an avatar

Amygdala processes positive and negative emotions like fearful
and anxious emotional states associated with potential threats.
Ray Kurzweil:
computers will
match or beat
human intelligence
with emotions &
sense of humor
Emotions influence learning, memory, behavior processes in the brain
The hippocampus and amygdalae regions in brain play key roles in processing both memories and emotions, and
interactions between the two may reinforce the link between memory and emotions.

shocking stats!
• 20% to 35% of value-added collaborations
come from just 3% to 5% of employees
• 60% of executives confirmed they’re struggling
to keep their workforce current and relevant.

Dispatches from the front lines of human-robot collaboration
https://venturebeat.com/2017/11/02/dispatches-from-the-front-lines-of-human-robot-collaboration/
• Humans and robots complement each other.
When they come together, the abstract tasks
performed by humans are amplified by AI’s
quantitative insights.
• Humans tackle all things creative, strategic,
intuitive, and emotional, while data in the form
of words and numbers is unquestionably the
domain of AI.
• AI not good at communicating what it’s doing
• Humans are not good at not knowing
• It’s hard to give AI feedback in laymen’s term

people who make over $350K
also can replaced by software
Robot CEO: Your next boss could run on code
jobs taken over by robots
include 'condescending
white man’
Gartner: By 2018, more than 3
million workers globally will be
supervised by a "robo-boss."
AI will make technology
more adaptive, more
flexible, more creative in
solving problems to improve
upon human capabilities
such as reason, intuition,
and imagination.

Artificial Intelligence’s Role in Classrooms
• @ThisIsCentury partnering with Flanders, Belgium, to roll-out CENTURY to all 700 of its state schools -
helping 200,000 more pupils to fulfill their potential ! " calls it the “first-ever state-level rollout of
artificial intelligence in schools.”
• The first schools in Belgium will begin using the program in September of this year, building to a wider
deployment around 2024, Century Tech said.

We are not developing robots designed to take over the classroom CENTURY Tech Data Scientist Michael Ma

Why ‘Emergent Organizations’ will be the winners
IBM Institute for Business Value reports that 60 percent of executives globally confirmed they
are struggling to keep their workforce current and relevant.
1.Organize around information flows; ditch hierarchy and bureaucracy.
2.Empower individuals
3. Replace long lists of rules with a good M.O
4. Get Used to Living in the “In Between”
5. Open up new feedback loops
6. Tap into power of minds and machines ( augmented intelligence )

WRAP UP Quick Reactions from panel & audienceOvertaxed Working Memory Knocks the Brain Out of Sync
Women have more active brains than men, according to science https://wef.ch/2HZ3E7y
Significantly more active in prefrontal cortex involved in focus and impulse control and limbic or emotional areas of the brain
responsible for mood and anxiety. However visual and coordination centers of the brain were more active in men

• A brain circuit that suppresses distracting
sensory information holds important clues
about attention and other cognitive
processes.
• We attend to only a fraction of the sensory
data available to us. New results are
helping to explain how the brain filters out
the sensations least interesting to it at
any moment.
• Grounding Cognition in Action
To Pay Attention, the Brain Uses Filters, Not a Spotlight

Alpha brain waves related to selective attention and working memory may stem from
two different processes in the brain, according to new research.

Your Brain Chooses What to Let You See
Beneath our awareness, the brain uses a goal-directed attentional processes: It gets rid of
information that’s distracting or less useful in order to make the more relevant inputs stand out.

Every human behavior is tethered to DNA
genetic anchor where biology drives every
action and personality trait.
Genes are the piano keys, the environment plays
the song.

Cognitive biases influence the way we think and act
Humans Don’t Realize How Biased They Are
Until AI Reproduces the Same Bias, Says
UNESCO AI Chair
• Bias baked into in ML algorithms by their
designers.
• Bias in training data they are given to learn
from
• Cultural bias in the data that has been
collected.
• We don’t realize how biased we are until we
see AI reproduce the same bias.

• Competitive imperative to change way industries operate and businesses compete.
• Machines enhance human imagination by connecting concepts, ideas and products.
• Greater emphasis on soft skills i.e. critical thinking, cognitive flexibility, emotional intelligence,
imagination, creativity and lifelong learning.
