Intelligent automation
term_id: intelligent_automation
Category: basic_concepts
Definition
Intelligent automation integrates traditional Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with advanced AI technologies like machine learning and natural language processing. While RPA handles rule-based, structured tasks, intelligent automation enables systems to interpret unstructured data, make decisions, and adapt to variations. This synergy significantly enhances efficiency by automating end-to-end workflows that previously required human judgment or intervention.
Summary
The combination of artificial intelligence with robotic process automation to handle complex, unstructured business processes.
