Part 4/9:
The RPA Misconception
One subject Dr. Ratman addressed was the frequent conflation of RPA (Robotic Process Automation) with AI. He pointed out that while RPA is a beneficial technology, it lacks the capability to manage real ambiguity. RPA mimics human processes but does not possess genuine intelligence or judgment. Unfortunately, he noted, many organizations misunderstand the difference, often treating both as synonymous when they are fundamentally distinct.
Enlightenment Through Experience
The conversation turned to the impactful realization of AI's capabilities Dr. Ratman had experienced firsthand. He shared an anecdote of engaging with AI platforms and how they could interpret emotional signals in everyday interactions—something that would have seemed impossible a few years ago.
