Intelligent Automation

Definition

The combination of artificial intelligence and automation technologies to handle complex processes that require learning, reasoning, and decision-making.

Overview

Intelligent Automation (IA) combines RPA with AI technologies like machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision to automate more complex processes. While RPA handles rule-based tasks, intelligent automation can learn from data, understand unstructured content, and make decisions. This enables automation of processes that previously required human judgment, such as document classification, sentiment analysis, and exception handling.

Why It Matters

Traditional automation hits a ceiling with unstructured data and complex decisions—the tasks that consume the most human effort. Intelligent automation breaks through this ceiling, enabling organizations to automate 60-80% of knowledge work that was previously impossible to digitize.
