Abstract:
There is no doubt that computers are increasingly capable of doing things that humans could once do exclusively. Smart machines are gaining human capabilities, such as recognizing voices, processing natural language, and interacting and learning with the physical world through vision, smell, touch, mobility and motor control. In some cases, these machines do a much faster and better job than people at recognizing patterns, performing rule-based analysis from very large amounts of data, and solving structured and unstructured problems. We will discuss how we can utilize these smart machines as tools, assistants, collaborators and coach to work effectively with smart machines, and how to out-task none value added work to smart machines.
