49. Human-Digital Collaboration
RPA is all about automation, and most digital workers are great at automated tasks. If you want to get into something more interesting and more valuable, however, let's talk about machine learning.
You could train a digital worker to have a bit of machine learning in it. Over time, your worker would learn to understand information, not just repeat tasks. Eventually, it could communicate its opinion to a human being and then learn from that human's opinion.
That puts digital and human workers in a closer relationship than ever.
In this episode of Generation Digital Workforce, we talk with Eric Tyree, Head of AI and Research at Blue Prism, Eric discusses human-digital interaction.
Specifically, Eric talks about:
* How AI can tangibly benefit RPA
* The ways AI can support commerce, not just technology
* ...And what Eric believes the future of work looks like

44. How Technology Can Help Improve Medicaid Claims Responses
Since the outbreak of COVID 19, countless state and local agencies are bending under mounting pressure to serve their constituents. Most notably, a surge in Medicaid claims has followed a drastic uptick in unemployment across America. States are struggling to keep up with this influx of claims as they try to address backlogs caused by antiquated backend systems. It's a vicious cycle to verify an applicant’s eligibility to meet federal guidelines for claims processing.
There is hope, however. In this episode, Anna Twomey, Senior Solutions Advisor, Americas Healthcare, and Deb Rossi, Sales Director, Public Sector SLED, explore how technology can help break the backlog, improve claims response, and reduce approval time from weeks or months to hours or days.
What we discussed with Anna and Deb:
* Why states are experiencing a surge in Medicaid claims
* The single largest trend in states moving through the new Medicaid challenge
* How technology can help solve the current conundrum and avoid this situation in the future

43. US Cares Act and Digital Workers
Legislation around workforce protection during the pandemic continues to evolve, and more changes are coming in September.
The first impact was felt in processing applications and reacting to customer demands. Humans and digital workers inside banks were processing and activating the loans and forbearance programs. It was a huge undertaking, and it isn't behind us yet.
Five million loan recipients will soon become seven million. So it's time to move from being reactive to being proactive. We need to use data and analytics to drive improved customer service and experience.
In this episode of Generation Digital Workforce, we talk with Richard Olivieri, Vice President, Solutions and Professional Services at Lateetud, and Bruce Mazza, Global VP Technology Alliances / ISVs at Blue Prism. Richard and Bruce discussed the U.S. Cares Act and digital workers.

42. Is Digital Transformation a Technological Innovation or a Culture Shift?
A lot of us are drawn into technology careers, because it's easier to work with machines than it is to work with humans. But if you want to lead people, you have to meet them face to face, work beside them, and communicate with them. All of that is hard to do digitally.

Here is what we discussed with Walt:
* What kicked off digital transformation?
* How will being digital and working remotely will impact our workplaces?
