AI In the Workforce

AI is being used in a multitude of businesses to make them more efficient. In fact, artificial intelligence tools are eliminating some of the labor-intensive jobs that were formerly conducted by humans. So what is artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence is systems with programmed algorithms that perform based on the inputted information. It is important to note that artificial intelligence tools are only as accurate and as smart as the information we program in their system. The intriguing feature with AI tools is that they learn with time and practice.

There was a study in which 4 of the top performing professional Texas hold em’ players were given the task of playing several thousand hands against the artificial intelligence algorithm. At first, the professional players were up by roughly $200,000. This was in the first quarter of the hands played. The last two thirds to three-fourths of the hands were dominated by the created algorithm. It had learned to master playing unpredictably. The professionals had no way of reading the tool even when they tried to switch up their playing style. In the end, the AI tool ended up being roughly a million dollars positive.




What other companies are using AI? Cognizant is one of the world leaders in technology services and has been implementing AI machine learning into their products and solutions.
