when AI is mentioned, you know it is artificial intelligence. But do you know Ia

ai and IA are interchanged alphabetically, but they are not "intelligent artificial", but enhance intelligence. As for what it is, let's sell it first. You only need to know that it often appears in science fiction movies

for example, in the movie "Iron Man", Tony Stark's famous battle suit "Jarvis", the control system reads Stark's brain waves from the neuromechanical interface in the helmet and operates. It can use internal and external sensors to provide strategic information and real-time status reports of the mecha

another example is the mechanical armor in the mechanical warfare police, which can make a person become a mechanical policeman when only the brain and heart and lungs exist. The whole armor is controlled by human consciousness, which is also a typical way to enhance intelligence. And in "the edge of tomorrow", the mechanical exoskeleton is the standard configuration of every soldier, which is used to enhance the combat power when fighting against alien monsters. There are many similar movies, including mecha and exoskeleton, which are typical of enhanced intelligence

what about the application in reality? In fact, there are many. If Wang Jiwei said that the apple Siri and other voice assistants in your home, the smart speakers you use every day, and the smart appliances that can control voice are all enhanced intelligence products, you wouldn't be surprised. After all, enhanced intelligence has always been around you

it is already the world of artificial intelligence, and not many people talk about enhancing intelligence. However, with Gartner and other consulting agencies reinterpreting enhanced intelligence and predicting that it will create $2.9 trillion in business value in 2030, it has ignited in the CIO and CTO circles. The debate between artificial intelligence and enhanced intelligence philosophy has also been moved out again: some people believe that now is the era of enhanced intelligence, while others believe that enhanced intelligence and artificial intelligence are still two ways

in the new debate, we also realize an obvious trend: most cognitive intelligent products and project solutions are the aggregation of two technologies. With the increasingly confused boundary between the two, artificial intelligence and enhanced intelligence are also moving towards integration, and a new era of enhanced intelligence and human-computer collaboration is coming

so, what is the new enhanced intelligence? In this article, Wang Jiwei channel will answer the following questions:

what is enhanced intelligence

how is it different from before

what is the redefined enhancement

how to integrate with AI

what is the future of enhanced intelligence

what is enhanced intelligence

ia, that is, intelligence amplified, is usually called enhanced intelligence or enhanced intelligence, and is also called cognitive enhancement or intelligence amplification by some organizations. Enhanced intelligence refers to the effective use of information technology in enhancing human intelligence, which was first proposed by cybernetics and early computer pioneers in the s of last century

different from the ultimate goal of AI (Artificial Intelligence) to replace human beings with machines, enhancing intelligence focuses on the auxiliary role of AI, emphasizes that the purpose of cognitive technology is to improve human intelligence and ability, and the creation of enhanced intelligent tools is to help rather than replace human beings. Artificial intelligence usually aims to reflect human intelligence, while enhancing intelligence can be. The company plans to work with Zhejiang Haizheng and other polylactic acid production enterprises to provide ecoflex ○ R and polylactic acid to biodegradable product enterprises respectively to improve human intelligence and help them work faster and more intelligently

enhanced intelligence combines human skills (reasoning, creativity, judgment and flexibility, etc.) with machine capabilities (perfect return, accuracy, speed and logic) to enhance or improve the ability and efficiency of humans to use algorithms and technologies such as machine learning and deep learning, so that human cognitive performance and transaction processing ability can be greatly improved, Thus, it can quickly and efficiently solve more and more complex problems. The application of excellent results in many organizational scenarios shows that through human-computer collaboration with enhanced intelligent tools, employees' performance, experience and productivity have increased dramatically. For example, the robot arm used in the production workshop, the sorting robot used in logistics warehousing, the dialogue robot used in customer service business, and RPA (robot process automation) used in business process management can greatly improve the business ability of employees. Enterprises and other organizations can build core capabilities by enhancing intelligence to maintain competitive advantage

the relationship between enhanced intelligence and artificial intelligence

the traditional view holds that although the basic technology of artificial intelligence and enhanced intelligence is the same, there are still some differences between them because of different goals and applications: artificial intelligence aims to create systems that do not need human operation, and enhanced intelligence aims to create systems that can make human beings better

but the reality is not the case. After decades of development, as the boundaries between the two become more and more confused, their differences are also becoming smaller. Not to mention, in fact, most of the current AI technology applications are to enhance intelligence, and some people will even think that there is no AI at all in these years

but you can't deny that many AI technologies have long-term vision. Artificial intelligence and enhanced intelligence are becoming both sides of the coin. The vision of the former "machine replacing human" is a long-term goal, and the instant application of the latter "improving human capabilities" has become an evolutionary means. In the process of achieving the ultimate goal, many AI projects are practicing the transition in the form of enhancement

in many products, projects and solutions, there is even no difference in the application of artificial intelligence and enhanced intelligence. For example, the main goal of enhancing intelligence is to enhance human-computer interaction ability to improve the efficiency of human-computer collaboration, but AI enterprises are also studying human-computer interaction to provide better solutions for customers

in specific business applications, AI aims to replace manual intervention and interaction involving repetitive tasks, so as to reduce human errors and operating costs, and improve efficiency and productivity. The purpose of enhancing intelligence is to help people complete their cognitive tasks and play a complementary role in the decision-making process

in addition, few people discuss the issue of "Ai or ia" in the specific projects involved. As far as a business solution is concerned, the technology that can integrate intelligence into business and solve problems for the organization is a good technology

in this case, it is of little significance to discuss the difference between artificial intelligence and enhanced intelligence. The distinction between the two has also changed from the past "well water does not invade the river" to the only difference: the purpose of manufacturing increasingly powerful computers, software and robots is to design with human users as the core, or to replace human beings. The key point is whether it is technology that benefits mankind or technology as the goal itself

in terms of autonomous driving, level L5 in the five level classification (Level 6 in China) is the ultimate goal of autonomous driving. Obviously, level L1-L4 belong to the stage of enhancing intelligence. The core goal of enhancing autonomous driving under intelligence is still people. What we consider is how to use intelligent technology to enhance people's ability to control cars

level L5 already belongs to the category of artificial intelligence without human intervention. Autonomous driving under artificial intelligence can have its own cognitive consciousness. You only need to say where to go, and the processes of driving, safety, traffic rules and so on in the middle are completed by artificial intelligence, which can solve the travel problem without people's participation in the driving process

practical application of enhanced intelligence

like the enhanced intelligence of automatic driving, it is now widely used in artificial intelligence in medical, education, health and other fields, which belongs to enhanced intelligence to a certain extent. In short, tools with greatly increased functions and efficiency after integrating intelligent technology can be regarded as enhancing intelligence

for example, wearable hardware devices such as cognitive robots, bionic human bodies and exoskeletons, which are becoming a reality and gradually applied to human beings, are all enhanced intelligence tools

in addition to these high-tech hardware, there are many software systems with cognitive technology, which are also enhanced intelligence tools. For example, RPA, which has become popular in the past two years, was a pure software function in the past. Now, after the introduction of AI technologies such as NLP and OCR, it can not only recognize characters but also understand semantics, but also has a stronger ability to process data, which can make human employees work more efficiently and truly become an enhanced intelligent tool for human-computer cooperation

don't think that enhancing intelligence is far away from us. In fact, many tools have been widely used. For example, the manipulator in the manufacturing workshop, the stacking robot and sorting robot commonly used in the logistics industry, the exoskeleton for loading and unloading goods provided by JD logistics for employees, the intelligent auxiliary equipment that medical institutions have begun to provide for disabled patients, and the automation kit, data analysis system and process mining software widely used in the intelligent business system, although they are labeled with artificial intelligence, In fact, they are all enhancing the scope of intelligence, because these tools are all enhancing the ability of employees, but at this stage, they can not completely replace employees

▲ in logistics warehousing business, employees cooperate with sorting robots

at the same time, enhanced intelligent devices have also appeared in a large number of people's daily life. Just like the speaker we use to listen to songs, the intelligent speaker with AI module realizes human-computer interaction, and can dial and control intelligent appliances, which has become a typical enhanced intelligent device. Just like intelligent speakers, human-computer interaction can play a major role in a large number of intelligent hardware after artificial intelligence modules are implanted or connected to cloud AI algorithms. These intelligent hardware can be regarded as enhanced intelligent devices

enhance the integration of intelligence and artificial intelligence

in fact, on the way to achieve the goal of "making machines think and deal with problems like people", the development of artificial intelligence has encountered many theoretical and practical obstacles, resulting in the slow progress of artificial intelligence. During this period, many technologies have been used to enhance artificial intelligence, which has made great progress in enhancing intelligence. If we follow the concept of artificial intelligence "using computers, robots and other autonomous technology systems to build projects similar to human intelligence", before artificial intelligence completely replaces human beings, many AI technology practices in use actually belong to enhanced intelligence

especially human-computer interaction, as an important part of enhancing intelligence, after years of development, the relationship between human-computer interaction and artificial intelligence has developed from one to another and become mutual promotion. Typical applications based on the deep integration of the two are also emerging in many fields such as education, medical treatment and so on. On the one hand, human-computer interaction is manual
