#1.
AI-Powered Automation
and the Future of Work

7
● It involves leveraging technology, software, or machinery to carry out tasks.
● It minimizes or eliminates the need for constant human intervention.
● It allows processes to run smoothly and efficiently.
Recap ― What is Automation?

8
Here are FOUR reasons why Automation can be a game-changer for you:
Recap ― How Can Automation Help Me?
Reduced Stress
Enhanced
Opportunities
Skill
Development
Job Satisfaction

9
The main benefits of Automation adoption to a Business are:
Recap ― How Can Automation Help My
Organization?
Enhanced
Compliance
Improved
Scalability
Increased
Efficiency
Improved
Accuracy
Saved Cost

10
Processes that are logically structured can be easily mimicked by a bot.
Recap ― Processes Best Suited for RPA
Rule-based Structured
Repetitive

11
AI, or artificial intelligence, refers to the simulation of human intelligence in
machines that are programmed to think and learn like humans.
● The goal is to create systems that can perform tasks that'd normally require
human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-
making, and translation between languages.
● With machine learning, we can give a computer algorithm tons of data to learn
from. It uses this data to create its own rules and instructions, building on the
initial guidance provided by humans. This helps it achieve the results we want.
What is AI?

12
This is Automation and AI working hand in hand to transform a complex, time-
consuming process into a streamlined, efficient one.
● Automation takes care of routine tasks and critical processes, while AI empowers
robots to tackle more intricate challenges.
● With AI-powered automation, we can extract relevant information from
documents and communications quickly and accurately, including the underlying
emotions and intentions.
● AI without automation is like a brain without a body—full of potential but unable to
perform. Conversely, automation without AI is like a body without a brain—
capable but directionless.
What is AI-powered Automation?

13
Specialized AI is designed to excel at specific tasks or domains, delivering
highly accurate results. However, it doesn't carry the broad cognitive abilities of
humans and can't easily adapt to tasks outside its training without further
adjustments.
● UiPath leverages Specialized AI for enterprise automation, enhancing the
automation of documents, screens, tasks, and processes.

14
Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can create new content, such as
text, images, or music, by learning patterns from existing data.
● It has various business applications, including content creation (e.g., marketing
campaign ideas, interview questions, email responses), content understanding
(e.g., deciphering communication intent), and code comprehension, among
others.
● UiPath leverages LLMs (Large Language Models) a type of Generative AI that has
been trained on huge amounts of text, like books, articles, and websites, to
understand and generate human-like text. LLMs can help us with tasks like
answering questions, writing essays, translating languages, and even chatting
with us.
Generative AI

15
Let's see some products.
● UiPath Communications Mining leverages AI and plays a crucial role by
classifying incoming emails as loan applications and marking them as urgent.
● UiPath Document Understanding utilizes both Generative and Specialized AI to
extract information from various attachments, including ID cards, structured loan
applications, and unstructured documents like employment letters.
● Clipboard AI is a standalone application which helps in data entry, acting as an
intelligent copy-paste assistant. By understanding the structures of your content,
Clipboard AI transfers data between documents, spreadsheets, and applications,
etc., and automatically inserts the data into the right places.
● Action Center is used to utilize the Human-in-the-Loop collaboration model, we
can involve humans who ensure governance and compliance with organizational
policies, harmonizing AI and human collaboration for efficient processes.
