The major impact made by artificial intelligence (AI) this past year is still leaving people like me in awe. I finally feel where I’m in the position of thinking: “Well, here we are—the future is now.”
A roomsize computer equipped with a new type of circuitry, the Perceptron, was introduced to the world in 1958 in a brief news story buried deep in The New York Times. The story cited the U.S. Navy as saying that the Perceptron would lead to machines that “will be able to walk, talk, see, write, reproduce itself and be conscious of its existence.” More than six decades later, similar claims are being made about current artificial intelligence. So, what’s changed in the intervening years? In some ways, not much.
Many organizations around the world are using intelligent document processing (IDP) software to accelerate information onboarding and take document intelligence to higher levels of automation, accuracy, and efficiency.
