Achieve more with human-centered artificial intelligence
AI can deliver results to your business today, including improving customer experiences, augmenting your workforce and automating repetitive processes. But industry hype will have you believe that AI can solve nearly all your business problems. The truth is, most of the immediate benefits from AI will be task focused and lack the contextual awareness and flexible learning that humans have.
Which is why we focus on human-centered AI to help you achieve more. You can gain better understanding and interpretation of the data, apply reasoning and engage in a more natural way. The importance of the human element is not lost on businesses. Our recent research found that 85% of senior-level business and IT decision makers agreed that in the future, companies must be able to manage both humans and machines in order to successfully deploy AI.
Artificial intelligence is a collection of advanced technologies that allow machines to sense, comprehend and act. To succeed with AI you need:
- There is a war for AI talent, so you need to rotate your people and leverage your partners and their ecosystems.
- The fundamentals of AI and the ability to become smarter with machine learning reside in your data.
- You need an analytics engine and library of automation process models, prebuilt calculations and algorithms.
- Computing platforms are key for intelligent APIs, machine learning and automation in order to make AI more accessible.

Our approach: Build human-centered intelligent applications
When you focus on the impact of AI on employees and customers, the results are different – and better. Consider a few examples.
- With a typical AI approach, organizations may replace call center agents with a chatbot or digital agent to automate and streamline responses. But this can lead to less-than-ideal customer experiences. With a human-centered approach, AI technologies are used to augment the call center agent to identify the right information and find and expedite answers, resulting in better customer experiences.
- Don’t just automate a business process to replace your workers. Instead use cognitive services like text analytics and custom decision making to more quickly categorize and interpret requests and escalate complicated scenarios to a human for response.
- Today data is currency. Enhance your business analysts’ skillset and train them to become citizen data scientists who use machine learning tools to build customer acquisition, retention and lifetime-value models.
A human-centered strategy takes into account the ethical implications of AI. Businesses need to develop a digital ethics framework that addresses issues like data security, trust and privacy, and provides guidelines about how data should be obtained and used. Think of it as a set of values and moral principles for the conduct of digital interactions among businesses, people and things.
