10 TIPS FOR WORKING WITH AI

AI has re-emerged in the enterprise. Are you ready?

With all the hype around artificial intelligence (AI), it can be difficult to sort fact from fiction. Narrative Science is here to help you prepare for the future and reassure you that

no, robots will not take over the world

Here are 10 tips to get started:

Remember your goal is to solve real business problems, not simply to put in place an “AI strategy” or “cognitive

computing” work plan

1.

Be aware of the landscape, but do your homework and understand the length and breadth of the systems that are

available.

2.

You probably don’t want a system that is really good at finding thenearest gas station to do your medical diagnostics.

Focus on your data

3.

but no system canthink beyond the data

that you give it.

You may very well have the data

to support inference or prediction,

Know how your systems work, at least at the level of the core intuition behind

a system

4.

Don’t confuse machine learning with other forms of reasoning

5.

What is the system learning and how does it

use the information it learns?

Always remember the trade-off between depth and

breadth

6.

Any system that is broad is proportionallyshallow. If a system understands all language, it

doesn’t understand it deeply.

Understand how a system will fit into your workflow and who will

use it

7.

Remain mindful that you are entering into a human-computer

partnership

8.

Always think about how your systems are going to communicate with you and anyone else who uses

them – internally or externally

9.

Remember the story of the emperor’s new clothes

10.

You get to say that you don’t understand how asystem works. Your vendors, IT team, and data scientists

are tasked with making sure you understand whatyour systems are doing.
