Augmented Intelligence: The Business Power of Human–Machine Collaboration
The AI revolution is moving at a breakneck speed. Organizations are beginning to invest in innovative ways to monetize their data through the use of artificial intelligence. Businesses need to understand the reality of AI. To be successful, it is imperative that organizations understand that augmented intelligence is the secret to success. Augmented The Business Power of Human–Machine Collaboration is about the process of combining human and machine intelligence. This book provides business leaders and AI data experts with an understanding of the value of augmented intelligence and its ability to help win competitive markets.
This book focuses on the requirement to clearly manage the foundational data used for augmented intelligence. It focuses on the risks of improper data use and delves into the ethics and governance of data in the era of augmented intelligence. In this book, we explore the difference between weak augmentation that is based on automating well understood processes and strong augmentation that is designed to rethink business processes through the inclusion of data, AI and machine learning.
What experts are saying about Augmented Intelligence
"The book you are about to read is of great importance because we increasingly rely on machine learning and AI. Therefore, it is critical that we understand the ability to create an environment in which businesses can have the tools to understand data from a holistic perspective. What is imperative is to be able to make better decisions based on an understanding of the behavior and thinking of our customers so that we can take the best next action. This book provides a clear understanding of the impact of augmented intelligence on both society and business."—Tsvi Gal, Managing Director, Enterprise Technology and Services, Morgan Stanley
"Our mission has always been to help clients apply AI to better predict and shape future outcomes, empower higher value work, and automate how work gets done. I have always said, ’AI will not replace managers, but managers who use AI will replace managers who don't.’ This book delves into the real value that AI promises, to augment existing human intelligence, and in the process, dispels some of the myths around AI and its intended purpose."—Rob Thomas, General Manager, Data and AI, IBM

More than ever companies are relying on combining human talent augmented with machine technology to improve processes, profits, positive outcomes for leaders, shareholders, and employees. Even smaller companies are realizing the benefits of machine intelligence and technology in order to compete globally and make swift changes to satisfy customers. Technology is the secret to success in our global economy for remaining relevant.
Augmented Intelligence the Business Power of Human-Machine Collaboration by Judith Hurwitz, Henry Morris, Candace Sidner, and Daniel Kirsch is a power book if you want to dive deeper into the collaboration of AI and business. We rely on technology for all of our personal and work business and it is imperative that as leaders we create strong environments so that we have the proper tools and data to meet goals and customer needs.
Augmented Intelligence is a book for leaders who want an in-depth look into AI and technology. The book illustrates how to produce higher-value work, implement automation, deflects myths about AI, and helps cut through the sophisticated jargon that we all hear from time to time but do not understand. I learned a lot from this book because AI is out of my comfort level however, it opens a completely new world for me. I particularly support the point that AI is not here to replace people and jobs but to collaborate and augment processes and systems to produce growth and positive change.
The information the authors share provides a realistic view of AI, both the plusses and the pitfalls. They show us that AI is not something we should fear and embrace it will enable us to take full advantage of new processes and skill changes to propel machine learning in all organizations. The book is laid out similar to a roadmap teaching the reader what Augmented Intelligence is, an introduction to the data cycle, how to build models, and how to implement change while investing in people to bring out the best while using AI.
If you have a thirst for technology or are curious how Augmented Intelligence can help you grow as a leader in order to combine technology and people power this book is for you!
