How to use Artificial Intelligence in your company

How you can use Artificial Intelligence in your company

Currently automating different forms of business processes in companies is accelerating worldwide and allows for reducing costs and contributes to increasing business efficiency.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are significantly inferior to humans in understanding the context of problems, events, situations, reality, and the environment, but AI is more effective at work than people in many areas of our lives because AI makes decisions acting out of emotions, does not get tired and keeps constantly learning. AI is supposed to find correlations and changes in various data, systems, human behavior, etc, based on this it is supposed to create and use various models to increase the efficiency and automation of companies, putting people out from monotonous work.

Many solutions are being developed or have globally been applied and used in ML and AI. I will tell you how you can roll out AI in your business with examples of services available now.

Some terms and abbreviations

AIAAS – rents AI by the hour, day, week, and development will allow you to avoid investing in the development of AI services and use these services according to your requests, at the right time, and for specific tasks.

IPA – Intelligent process automation.

ML – machine learning.

RPA – Robotic process automation. RPA systems develop the action list by watching the user perform that task in the application’s graphical user interface (GUI) and then perform the automation by repeating those tasks directly in the GUI. This can lower the barrier to the use of automation in products that might not otherwise feature APIs for this purpose.

RaaS – robots as a service provides robots on demand, when and where needed that allow you to avoid purchasing robots for a lot of money and rent a robot with payment for the time or by results. Forgoing a capital expenditure (CAPEX), or lowering the cost of entry to robotic automation, RaaS can be useful for companies.

VPA – virtual personal assistants.
