What is process mining?

A trend in data processing and representation that involves analyzing and improving business processes.

What is the difference between robotic process automation and autonomation?

Robotic process automation refers to the automation of individual repetitive tasks, while autonomation involves autonomous pattern recognition and direct communication with management.

What is the role of controllers evolving towards in the context of automation?

Towards data scientists.

What is the main difference between robotic process automation and robotic desktop automation?

Robotic process automation is platform-based and has higher efficiency, while robotic desktop automation is decentralized and used on individual desktops.

Where can you find more information about AI support in decision-making?

In the section 'AI support in decision-making'.

What are the five levels of automation in decision-making, and what conditions determine the level of automation?

The five levels of automation in decision-making are: Level 0 - Humans decide, Level 1 - Assisted decision-making, Level 2 - Partial decision-making, Level 3 - Verified decision-making, and Level 4 - Delegated decision-making, and Level 5 - Autonomous decision-making. The level of automation is determined by the structuredness of the decisions to be taken and the acceptance of machine-based decision-making.

What is an expert system, and what is its primary function?

An expert system is a computer-based system that mimics problem-solving and decision-making of human experts, mostly in narrowly defined domains. Its primary function is to provide expert-level advice and guidance in specific areas.

What is the primary function of a recommendation system?

The primary function of a recommendation system is to predict the importance or rating a user will attach to a product or service, and to provide personalized product or service recommendations based on these preferences.

What is a chatbot, and how does it interact with humans?

A chatbot is a computerized service that enables easy conversations between humans and humanlike computerized robots, through writing, voice, or images. It uses natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to extract knowledge from data and learn from accumulated experience.

What is the primary difference between Level 1 and Level 2 automation in decision-making?

The primary difference is that Level 1 - Assisted decision-making provides suggestions or recommendations to humans, while Level 2 - Partial decision-making takes over certain decision-making tasks from humans.

What is the primary function of AI-based knowledge systems?

The primary function of AI-based knowledge systems is to mimic human problem-solving and decision-making capabilities in specific domains, providing expert-level advice and guidance.
