Intelligent Augmentation
Augmentation – the act of augmenting, i.e.
to understand, support, enhance, improve,
increase, facilitate;
discovering and responding to needs.
What to augment – broad range:
people (improve knowledge/skills/awareness)
tasks (complex tasks, common tasks)
practices (better working together, individual vs
community, organisational practice)
processes (individual & organisational processes)
Flipping the AI
Artificial Intelligence – making intelligent machines
which can perform tasks humans perform
Intelligent Augmentation – use intelligent
techniques to understand and support people,
tasks, processes, and practices
Change of Focus –
not replace humans but augment their work;
what can we augment, how can we be sure that
the augmentation has happened

Initial Feedback:
Points for Discussion
What is the step change brought by IA?
How can we justify and proof this?
Why now?
What can we do now which we could not do before?
What impact can it make?
Why is IA important, why the existing approaches do
not offer the expected impact (what is missing in
them which we are offering here)?
