This includes learning, decision making and new experiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAugmented intelligence is all about people taking advantage of AI,\u201d said Svetlana Sicular, research vice president at Gartner. \u201cAs AI technology evolves, the combined human and AI capabilities that augmented intelligence allows will deliver the greatest benefits to enterprises.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Business Value of Augmented Intelligence<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Gartner\u2019s AI business value forecast highlights decision support\/augmentation as the largest type of AI by business value-add with the fewest early barriers to adoption (see Figure 1).
