INFOGRAPHIC: Getting Assisted by AI
We’ve been imagining about artificial assistants all the way back with Rosie the Robot. And while we have electronic vacuums and food dishes for our pets, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have only continued to grow. While the most common examples include AI assistants like Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa, there are plenty of other apps and solutions for consumers and companies alike to use. Generally speaking, an AI assistant is a type of software that uses artificial intelligence to understand human language and complete tasks on behalf of the user. Sometimes also referred to as a “digital” or “virtual” assistant, most people think of these solutions when they are asking their phones about their calendar, the weather, or an answer for a bit of trivia that might be rattling in their heads. However, there are many corporate programs available that take what consumer digital assistants do and apply it to marketing campaigns, automate task management solutions, and streamline project workflows. As seen in our recent analysis From Margins to Mainstream, the workplace impact of AI copilots varies significantly by industry and use case.
