Augmented Intelligence is Preferred Over Artificial Intelligence

Augmented Intelligence couples people with machines working together, combining the best of both

Summary

  • Augmented Intelligence is Artificial Intelligence with a twist

  • Augmented Intelligence couples people and machines to take advantage of both.

  • The combined effort is beginning to show benefits in speeding up diagnosis processes and may pave the way for personalized medicine.

Review

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:

  • Artificial Intelligence is the attempt to have machines react like humans

  • Artificial Intelligence has evolved from repetitive physical tasks to working on complex cognitive work.

  • Artificial Intelligence machines are fast, more accurate and consistently rational

  • However, humans have the ability to imagine, anticipate and judge changing situations. 

AUGMENTED INTELLIGENCE:

  • Augmented Intelligence, is also referred to as:

    • Intelligence Amplification

    • Cognitive Augmentation

    • Machine Augmented Intelligence

    • Enhanced Intelligence

  • Augmented Intelligence involves people and machines working together, combining the best attributes of both.

  • A recent forecast by Gartner, predicts Augmented guided Artificial Intelligence will surpass all other types of Artificial Intelligence by 2025.

Augmented Intelligence form will surpass all Artificial Intelligence by 2025

  • Many problems faced by computer Artificial Intelligence systems are highly complex involving uncertainty and open-ended in nature.

  • Human involvement and interaction must be introduced for the verification process.

  • Augmented Intelligence also allows to address problems which are not easily trained or classified by machine learning.

AUGMENTED INTELLIGENCE & ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FACTORS:

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • Augmented Intelligence gathers all types of data (structured and unstructured) from various sources

  • Provides a complete clinical view (360 view)

  • Insight extracted from the data and presented to the user is deeper and greater than before.

  • The human influence is necessary in cases of low confidence results by the computer.

Conclusions

  • ·         Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Intelligence share similar objectives but have differing approaches to accomplish it.

  • ·         Both use machine learning capabilities:

    • Artificial Intelligence takes a full device approach

    • Augmented Intelligence couples the machine learning with the human aspect

  • ·         Augmented Intelligence acts as a tool to assist the clinician in the task.
