Aperte and her partners have a considerable degree of expertise in the area of artificial intelligence.

But what is AI exactly and does it apply to your situation?

The area of artificial intelligence is aimed at replicating animal and human intelligence in computer software. Even though AI has been an up-and-coming area for 60 years, these goals are far from obtained. However, more methods and possibilities are arising that are potentially interesting within practical products and environments. Speach- and handwriting recognition for instance, or the use of automated chat agents that can hold a simple conversation on a specific topic. The poster-child of modern day AI is undoubtedly Google with the artificial intelligence behind their massive search database. But every day more and more is possible using cutting-edge techniques.

Some examples of exotic applications within AI: self-learning systems, self-organizing simulations, semantic networks, datamining, robotics and agent-based systems, the list goes on and on.

Enough research-speak. What kinds of concrete problems is AI now able to solve?

• Recommendation-systems: A customer gets a list of similar products after placing an order, based on the behavior of other customers who buy similar products.
• Complicated simulations with many variables in the case of the evacuation of buildings or areas.
• Automatic extraction of information from large amounts of data in order to focus marketing on a specific segment of the population.
• The generation of rosters and schedules.

Aperte is the first to agree that artificial intelligence is not useful for every project, however it does offer possibilities that don’t come into view with ‘normal’ IT solutions. Artificial Intelligence lets you think outside the box.
