This is an opening presentation from RIGA COMM 2019 Human + Intelligent Machine track. https://rigacomm.com/en/program/#2
How can we use intelligent machines in business workflows? There are 3 main things to remember - learning, teaching and understand environment. We will have humans in the loop.
11. 11
If it could be
predicted….
What could be
expected result?
What could be
impact on
organization?
What kind of
data need to be
collected?
Prediction Impact Impact on strategy Information
Business need first!
14. The answer – Slow learning!
In Predictive environment you
can predict next stages
80 Hours of training required for
best machines to reach level
every human gets in 15 minutes

For best models it’s
require 200 Years of
training to play better
than human in single
map, single type of
player
15. Get back to self-driving cars with best
reinforcement learning algorithms available
• 20 hours for human, mostly without
accidents
15
• Million hour of training
• Thousands killed pedestrians
• Hit thousands of trees
• Run from cliffs several time
We have predictive models that can predict uncertainty
17. If you think about it,
business processes are
the result of a series of
decisions.

If a typical person can do a mental
task with less than one second of
thought, we can probably automate
it using AI either now or in the near
future.

19. The five steps to automating decisions
19
Step Key action
Datafy the physical world Put capabilities and assets online
Software the business Encode decision-making chains
Get data flowing Institute APIs to allow data
connections
Record data in full Record “live data” in its entirety
Apply machine-learning algorithms Coordinate and optimize
Assess readiness of your enterprise for automating decisions
20. As humans we suffer from biases

Daniel Kahneman
Organizations expect consistency from professionals:
Identical cases should be treated similarly, if not identically

21. Why we want to automate decisions?
We think it is possible….

23. Xrd Technology Revolution
Information revolution – now?
No, it is done by Gutenberg
in 15th century
Martin Luther real beneficiary
Next was telegraph and
railroad

Former FCC chairman Tom Wheeler discusses his
book, "From Gutenberg to Google", at Politics and
Prose on 2/10/19.
24. What is business decision automation

27. Narrow AI/ML
We can’t trust AI systems
built on deep learning alone

Hinton: “My view is throw
it all away and start
again”
28. Limitations of current technology

Causality
36. Causality
36
Development of Western science is based
on two great achievements: the invention
of the formal logical system (in Euclidean
geometry) by the Greek philosophers, and
the discovery of the possibility to find
out causal relationships by systematic
experiment (during the Renaissance). Albert Einstein
(1953)
