Emerging technologies, a global pandemic, and geopolitical conflict, the last few years have been marked worldwide by several of the most impactful and unforeseen changes in the last several decades. How business leaders respond is widely varied and inconsistent, partly due to the difficulty in predicting what comes next. This ambiguity leads to uncertainty in the workplace, which leads to unrest within the workforce, and can lead to devastating consequences impact economic growth and corporate prosperity. This panel of experts seeks to provide some clarity where little currently exists. We hope you’ll join us for an open dialogue about how executives can approach the next 12-24 months with greater confidence, adaptability, and courage.
AI and the evolution from Robotic Automation to Cognitive Automation
More details
Join Igor Ševo, Head of Technology – Artificial Intelligence at HTEC; Sava Marinkovich, Head of HealthTech/MedTech at HTEC; and David Thomson, CEO of Momentum Design Lab, as they discuss how AI is evolving the role of automation in our lives, from automating system performance to automating cognitive processes.
As AI systems evolve, they present new possibilities to augment human cognition by addressing the user’s cognitive needs precisely when and where they emerge. Additionally, as AI technologies are embedded into enterprise platforms that humans use to perform a wide range of knowledge worker tasks, the role of automation within these systems takes on new meaning when cognitive workloads are included in the scope of automation. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) was all the rage over the past few years. But Cognitive Process Automation (CPA) is the next evolution. Join us as we explore how this change will impact the workforce, jobs to be done, and the technologies that enable humans to be more productive in their roles.
