For decades, smart technologies including artificial intelligence, robotic process automation and intelligent automation were limited to research and use by governments, academia and on manufacturing floors in the form of robots. They were expensive, complex and not very well understood.
Process automation and cognitive technologies offer the ability to use virtually unlimited amounts of the right data to make better decisions fast. They also help boost scale and capabilities beyond human limits. And the technology learns over time to do more even better and faster.
The combination of cognitive technologies and robotic process automation augments human reasoning and automates physical tasks, mimic human activities and interacts naturally with people.
It’s what we call digital labor.
