Critics and competitors have time and again raised various questions on the ability of ChatGPT as they highlighted its risks and limits. But awestruck by the marvel, some in their reports have even proven its “intelligent behavior”—beyond just being a stochastic parrot—with the responses they were given.
While we wait to see how ChatGPT overcomes and delivers what people have been looking for from it, its demand is on the rise worldwide. Also at the same time, competitors who have already announced its alternatives and substitutes are making sure their products do not face the same hurdles and challenges ChatGPT faces.
Unavailable, highly risky!
The Guardian recently reported that searches for ChatGPT on Chinese platforms no longer returned results, and it quoted the South China Morning Post saying the workaround programs had been suspended for “violating relevant laws and regulations.”
While there is now an unanswered demand in China, Heise reported that at the European Union level, in a recently leaked draft (of the AI Act), the list of so-called “high-risk applications” was expanded. Even though initially there is no threat of a general ban on ChatGPT, the expansion includes text-generating AIs. If the generated text could be mistaken for authentic human-made text, the AI is considered a high-risk application.
The limitless AI tools
By the time the hype bubble bursts, a number of AI tools is moving the workforce across industries toward an age of intelligence amplification (IA) or cognitive augmentation or the popular usage augmented intelligence—a design pattern for a human-centered partnership model of AI and people working together to enhance cognitive performance, including learning, decision-making and new experiences.

The concept of IA
It mainly focuses on using AI-ML in an assistive role to enhance cognitive performance. It improves human decision-making, saves time, drives business and sales by predicting right patterns, and removes human error and bias in interpretation. In doing this, IA increases the range of human capabilities such as making more accurate decisions in real time.
How it works
Besides ML, it uses logical reasoning, spatial navigation, natural language processing (NLP), machine vision and pattern recognition to understand and analyze old data; interpret and identify new data; reason that defines results; learn and adjust the system from the human feedback on the output; and ensure compliance and security for risk management.
Where it is used
Virtual assistants Siri, Alexa, and Google Home are some examples in exists today. IA is used across industries, including retail and online shopping; sales and marketing, finance and investment companies; health care; manufacturing and factories; airline and airplane autopilot systems; political think tanks; and mobile gaming.
Another example of its usage is how social media places ads on user profiles based on the patterns of their searches.
Data & Analytics and IA
Data is the main player when IA comes into use as augmented intelligence analyzes this data to provide a prediction that helps in decision-making.
The combination of big data and augmented analytics help closes the decision gap to help organizations achieve immediate and measurable business value through real-time, contextual recommendations.
Take for example HCLTech’s Data & Analytics that helped create the pandemic analytics in the early days of Covid-19, using statistics, control theory, simulation modeling and NLP. Besides enhancing situational awareness, it developed creative and pragmatic insights for more informed decision-making with predictive analytics.
Also, the Intelligent Secure Edge for smart cities, built by HCLTech IoT WoRKS™ using Intel technologies, is a collaborative platform that brings together citizens, communities and authorities as a virtual network, powered by AI, Edge, Wi-Fi 6, 5G and other next-gen technologies, to drive proactive responses powered by real-time insights.
The global augmented intelligence market size that was valued at $11.73 billion in 2020, is projected to reach $121.57 billion by 2030, with a 26.4% CAGR growth from 2021 to 2030.
