Rise of Artificial Intelligence
4
The growing sophistication of AI and machine learning technologies are
transforming our lives – both as a consumer and as an enterprise
ACT: Artificial Intelligence is
equaling or surpassing
humans in a number of other
tasks – playing games, driving
cars, recommendations (movies,
books, finance, research) etc.
THINK: AI is helping us do tasks
faster, better and cheaper –
Automated Intelligence; helping
us make better decisions –
Augmented Intelligence, or even
taking over what we do –
Autonomous Intelligence
SENSE: Artificial
Intelligence is becoming
ubiquitous intelligence with
the ability to see, hear, speak,
smell, feel, understand gestures,
interface with your brain, and
dream

Artificial
Intelligence is
moving from
automated
intelligence to
augmented
intelligence. As
humans gain trust in
AI systems, they might
become
autonomous
intelligence
• Automation of tasks
• Human-in-the loop for
decisions
• Machines assist humans
• Increased efficiencies
• Reduced costs

• Machines augment
humans
• Increased effectiveness
• Increased revenues
• Better experience
• Control handed over from
man to machine
• No human-in-the-loop

etc.
Google’s autonomous car generates 1 GB of
data per second to create a dynamic 3D map
of its environment using machine learning
Netflix combined man-
machine intelligence by having
teams of people watch and tag
movies (36 page manual) to
train the AI and create 76,897
