3. Automation and Artificial Intelligence
• Automation is the creation of technology and its
application in order to control and monitor the
production and delivery of various goods and services.
• Automation is being used in a number of areas such as
manufacturing, transport, utilities, defense, facilities,
operations and lately, information technology.
• The theory and development of computer systems able
to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence,
such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-
making, and translation between languages.

6. What is Augmentation?
• Augmentation means starting with what humans do today and
figuring out how that work could be deepened rather than diminished
by greater use of machines.
• Augmentation helps in productivity, raise earnings, and augment
demand for skilled labor.
• Tasks that cannot be substituted by computerization are generally
complemented by it.

• Develop multiple intelligences
Interpersonal
Intrapersonal
• Discover strengths, focus on it and put them to work.
11. STEP IN
• A lot of brain work including empathy cannot be codified.
• There is a mutual support between AI and Human.
• STRATEGY: STEM Education
Science
Technology
Engineering
Math
• Develop your powers of observation, translation and human connection.
12. STEP NARROWLY
• Finding a specialty within your profession that wouldn’t be
economical to automate.
• Making ourselves an indispensable players in the field
• Differentiating and using the ability which outstands the possibilities
to be automated.
13. STEP FORWARD
• Diving in to the next generation of computing
• Behind every great machine, there is a person.
• Spotting the right next opportunity for automation
• Bringing about machine’s next level of encroachment which involves
highly augmented software.
14. Why Employer’s love augmentation ?

•Choose your step
•Employer’s view: Machine over man
•Employers must be convinced that the combination of humans and computers is better.
•Creativity = Long Term=Profitable
