It\u2019s an advanced computer science which evolved after various research and studies on how human brain functions.<\/p>\n<p>AI is the next step in ever changing and growing technology field. Even though the AI applications are being developed for specific industries now but the scope is very wide and will reach out to all domains.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>What is the Impact of AI in IT &amp; BPO industries? <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The BPO industry itself was considered a threat and people feared job cuts when it evolved as a new line of business 15 years ago. There are mixed feelings, some say it\u2019s a threat but some say it\u2019s an opportunity to BPO to create support services like creating algorithms for the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the reports predict impact only to repetitive and low skilled jobs. A recent survey predicts a 14% dip only on low level work force by 2021.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>How to survive? <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The recent technological change of AI is already available. IT and BPO companies should gear up to cope up with the change by enriching their low skilled work force to be able to perform medium level skilled work by training and investing on technologies.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Interesting Facts<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please check the recent survey conducted with attendees of Intelligent Automation, Chicago, 2017.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>56% attendees had confirmed that they plan to partially automate 21-40% of their business processes using AI.<\/li>\n<li>Over 40% of attendees had confirmed that the major challenge in implementing IA is Standardization of processes before implementation.<\/li>\n<li>One more interesting finding is 68% of attendees confirmed that the FTEs will be redeployed in to more value-added work and 8% felt no impact on FTEs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The findings are a real console to the IT and BPO industry. In fact there will be new opportunities in form of process standardization related jobs. There are jobs already created by micro tasks websites like Amazon\u2019s Mturk, Crowdflower etc. There will be huge demands for content moderation type of jobs in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Conclusion <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Change is the only constant. This is being proved time and again. The technological development of AI will not plunder the jobs but will only create new opportunities and improve the skills of the work force. Let us welcome the change for a better world.<\/p>\n<div id=\"blogcontact\"><div role=\"form\" class=\"wpcf7\" id=\"wpcf7-f1005-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/bpo-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1073#wpcf7-f1005-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<div style=\"display: none;\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"1005\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"5.5.6.1\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f1005-o1\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_recaptcha_response\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Contact Us<\/h2>\n<p><label> Your Name (required)<br \/>\n    <span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap your-name\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"your-name\" value=\"\" size=\"40\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" \/><\/span> <\/label><\/p>\n<p><label> Your Email (required)<br \/>\n    <span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap your-email\"><input type=\"email\" name=\"your-email\" value=\"\" size=\"40\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-email wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-validates-as-email\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" \/><\/span> <\/label><\/p>\n<p><label> Your Phone number(required)<br \/>\n    <span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap tel-692\"><input type=\"tel\" name=\"tel-692\" value=\"\" size=\"40\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-tel wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-validates-as-tel\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" \/><\/span> <\/label><\/p>\n<p><label> Subject<br \/>\n    <span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap your-subject\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"your-subject\" value=\"\" size=\"40\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text\" aria-invalid=\"false\" \/><\/span> <\/label><\/p>\n<p><label> Your Message<br \/>\n    <span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap your-message\"><textarea name=\"your-message\" cols=\"40\" rows=\"10\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-textarea\" aria-invalid=\"false\"><\/textarea><\/span> <\/label><\/p>\n<p><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control has-spinner wpcf7-submit\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"display: none !important;\"><label>&#916;<textarea name=\"_wpcf7_ak_hp_textarea\" cols=\"45\" rows=\"8\" maxlength=\"100\"><\/textarea><\/label><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"ak_js_1\" name=\"_wpcf7_ak_js\" value=\"244\"\/><script>document.getElementById( \"ak_js_1\" ).setAttribute( \"value\", ( new Date() ).getTime() );<\/script><\/p><div class=\"wpcf7-response-output\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><\/form><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest buzzword is Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine learning.
