Evolve: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Technologies to Enable Superhuman Capabilities

Embracing the Future of Shared Intelligence

Many people fear that robots are coming. Spoiler alert: they’re already here! Technology has brought innovations to our world for decades and is now moving faster than ever. By demystifying artificial intelligence and shedding light on how technology can empower people to do more and be more, we understand that as technology advances, humanity also advances. The key is to embrace change, not fear it.

Using the history of language as a backdrop, CEO of Arria NLG, Sharon Daniels, offers readers a greater understanding of how technology and humans have a symbiotic relationship that can empower us—if we let it.

For the first time in human history, the Power of Language, the very thing that defines humanity, has now been captured in software—has been digitized, moving it outside of the human mind to the machine—to the digital mind. The technology powering this revolution in communication is known as Natural Language Generation (NLG), a form of Artificial Intelligence specializing in extracting insights from complex data sources and communicating that information in natural language.

In Evolve, Daniels brings together 30+ years of global strategic business development and her understanding of natural language technologies to shed light on the future of technology. She provides readers with an understanding of how bringing human (Hu) knowledge and skills together with artificial intelligence’s (AI) speed and scale offers us “superhuman” capabilities.

Humanity is defined by language. By understanding language’s role in human history, we can better understand how the intersection of language and technology holds the potential to aid human evolution. Daniels’ vision is to ensure, through natural language technologies, that humanity remains at the heart of AI. Evolve shares a fresh perspective on how adding the Power of Language to the datasphere can ignite a global revolution in communication—freeing us to dream, think, create, discover, build, heal, help, relax, live and love.
