The Difference Between Assisted Augmented and Autonomous AI

Authors

What are the differences between assisted AI, augmented AI and autonomous AI?

Use case is driving a car:

Assisted AI

A driving system might provide a lane departure warning.

Augmented AI

Would provide lane centering assistance to keep the vehichle in the lane. Like my wife's Explorer. The system can be overridden by using the turn signals or by turning the wheel through the resistance of the system.

Autonomous AI

Fully autonomous driving requiring no feedback from the driver or engagement at all from the driver.

Use case in healthcare:

Assisted AI

Wearables that track indicators and alert the user of health risks.

Augmented AI

Prediction of adverse drug events.

Autonomous AI

Algorithmic pancreas that regulates glucose for diabetics. Shout out to the Elixir Nerves Project.

Use case is customer service:

Assisted AI

Routing call center requests to human agents.

Augmented AI

Making script recommendations to the agent based on customer data.

Autonomous AI

Automatically processing customer requests conversationally.
