The document discusses how human and AI collaboration can reimagine businesses. It provides examples of companies that are using AI to enhance human work rather than replace it. Volkswagen partnered with Autodesk to use generative design tools in a collaborative process to redesign the Volkswagen Microbus. Adobe is transforming its creative suite with Adobe Sensei, using AI to provide intelligent collaborations for users. The document advocates that companies determine how AI can build new workforces with humans and AI working together, and find ways to pilot collaborative AI initiatives.

The true potential of AI doesn’t come from automation alone, but from how it can become a symbiotic part of the workflow, enhancing—not replacing—the output of people.

Volkswagen (VW) and Autodesk reimagined the VW Microbus with generative design. VW decided to reconceptualize their Microbus, andpartnered with Autodesk to experiment with generative design tools. These tools enabled a collaborative partnership between human and machine. The humans set cleaner and greener design requirements, and the machine generated ideas that fit those constraints. From there, the parties continued to iterate, with the machine generating ideas and human co- workers curating and refining them. With this approach, VW created lighter parts and reduced the time from development to manufacturing from 1.5 years to just months. The designers credited generative design and their AI collaboration with creating structures they could never have created on their own.

- 8. 8 For humans to understand machines, they need explanations that can be understood and trusted. TD Bank is using AI to help approve or deny loans, and introduced a tool that explains the reasoning behind their AI's decisions. As algorithms assume more responsibility, this kind of explainability will help employees trust new AI systems as their decision-making partners. This will also help them establish trust with customers and demonstrate ethical- decision-making processes to regulators. And machines need to comprehend what they are sensing in a more human way to extend collaboration. Technology advances are allowing AI systems to better understand natural language in context, similar to the way humans learn reading comprehension in school. And this growing comprehension isn’t limited to language. Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 mixed reality headset uses image recognition and machine learning to identify objects and understand what they are: for instance, that a couch is not just a series of pixels, but something that can be sat on and belongs in a living room. #TECHVISION2020 Technology Vision 2020 | accenture.com/technologyvision AI and ME

Lemonadeisexploringanewapproachtoinsurance,usinganAI-first model. The company infused AI across their workflows from onboarding customers, to policy changes, to internal engineering team development, to their claims process. Their claims process utilizes an intelligent agent and anti-fraud algorithms to immediately pay out simple claims to customers. For claims requiring further investigation, the intelligent agent gathers relevant contextual information and then introduces the customer to a human specialist. But the company's approach doesn't just offer a collaborative AI partner to their customers and employees, it also means that each new system change could introduce a new way to transform their business with AI.

Think beyond which tasks could be replaced and imagine how you can build a new kind of workforce with humans and AI collaborating side by side. ⎮ Determine what tools are available internally to introduce the AI solutions needed to move your organization in this direction. If none are available, evaluate if employees have the skills to build the solutions, or engage partners to generate the necessary capabilities. Is your company thinking collaboratively?

- 15. #TECHVISION2020 Technology Vision 2020 | accenture.com/technologyvision AI and ME 15 ⎮ Evaluate where your industry is headed. Where are partners or competitors finding success in deploying AI? ⎮ To ensure transparency and trust, gather workforce perspectives into the design and implementation of AI systems. Ultimately, these employees will be the ones who determine the success of your AI investments. ⎮ If you’re not already using AI in the company, find an area to begin piloting the technology, such as co-designing a new product, coaching or training employees or reinventing customer engagement strategies. How will you roll out collaborative AI initiatives acrossthe organization?
- 16. #TECHVISION2020 Technology Vision 2020 | accenture.com/technologyvision AI and ME 16 ⎮ Evaluate the scope of decision-making that AI is being given in your organization. Identify sensitive areas where additional oversight may be needed and prioritize post-implementation explainability solutions, such as counterfactual explanations, for those systems. ⎮ For all future AI projects, plan for explainability by design. Develop policies and principles that will guide the development, building and implementation of new AI systems. How will you address explainability?
