Opportunity Knocks! Three Types of AI Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) Weak AI Focused on single task Imitates result of brain Fast, efficient, effective Everywhere now Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Strong AI Hypothetical as smart as human Reason, Plan, Solve, think Abstractly, Learn Doesn't actually exist Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) Intellect smarter than the best human brains in all ways Creativity, Wisdom, Social (see also immortality and extinction) Key Trend - AI Analyst Social User Interface Artificial Intelligence End User Chat User Interface Bots Automation Voice User Interface Knowledge Business Productivity
Gartner Says What is AI? Technologies that learn on their own and can produce unanticipated results There are three key requirements for AI: 1.Adapting behavior based on experience. 2.Not being totally dependent on instructions from people (they learn on their own). 3.Being able to come up with unanticipated results. What is Algorithmic ITOps AIOps platforms utilize big data, modern machine learning and other advanced analytics technologies to directly and indirectly enhance IT operations (monitoring, automation and service desk) functions with proactive, personal and dynamic insight. IT is 24.7.365. Support desks are not Source HDI survey 2016
AI Comes Into The Enterprise In Two Connected Waves Wave 1 Conversational UI Conversational AI Knowledge Automation End User Transformational Service Experience Save Time Save Money Let s call it Bots for now Wave 2 Decision Support AIOps Recommendations IT Operational Transformation Learned outcomes Applied change based on outcomes Powered by DATA and AUTOMATION
Chatbot Virtual Assistant Virtual Support Agent
Chatbots Now Benefits in efficiency and ease of interaction. Chatbots make a complex sequence into a simple request. The chatbot can be part of a workflow Text to speech means voice-based requests will become pervasive. Chatbots will migrate to being virtual personal assistants with the ability to act on behalf of the user.
VOICE UI builds on BOTS All of the above AI/Bots behaviour can be driven by VOICE - Siri, Alexa etc Search, Find, Report etc What s the current status of our Cloud Services? Who is next on my workload queue? Deploy Adobe to Max
Why is this so important for ITSM? Why does ITSM have the ability to take the greatest advantage from AI? What has ITSM got already that nothing else has really got? KNOWLEDGE

The new consumer experience IS CONVERSATIONAL IS AI Two types of Enterprise AI (Bots and Ops) Bots (Bot, VA, VSA) benefit IT, The Business, The End User Save Time and Money Improve Productivity and Satisfaction Transform Self-Service Position IT as an Innovator Key Takeways! 1. Artificial Intelligence is just about to impact ITSM very significantly 2. Self Service is the area of greatest immediate positive benefit, look for Bots and Conversational-UI 3. Look for AI opportunities to transform ITSM in your organization and with your ITSM tool vendors
