This post was featured in our Cognilytica Newsletter, with additional details. In the conversation around the application and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive technologies, two recurring types of solutions usually come up: AI solutions meant to work in conjunction with people to help them accomplish their tasks better, and AI solutions meant to function entirely independent of human intervention. In Cognilytica's nomenclature, we've usually referred to the sorts of solutions where AI is helping people do their jobs better as "augmented intelligence" solutions while those meant to operate independently as "autonomous intelligence" solutions. However, increasingly we've been seeing reference to the term "assisted intelligence" solutions that attempt to split the hair between different types of AI solutions that are helping people do their jobs. Is the term "assisted intelligence" meaningful and is there a way to provide a clear delineation between "augmented" and "assisted" types of intelligence solutions?
