25. When Humans *ARE* the Artificial Intelligence
In the 1770s, a Hungarian inventor named Wolfgang von Kempelen developed a machine he called the Mechanical Turk, a mechanical skeleton dressed in traditional Ottoman garb that had the ability to play chess. It was the artificial intelligence of its day.
But the Mechanical Turk had a secret. It used the ultimate neural net — the human brain. There was actually a human chess player hidden inside the contraption. The whole thing was an illusion. What does the Mechanical Turk tell us about RPA and the deployment of AI today?
On this episode of Generation Digital Workforce, Paul Nerger, Vice President of Digital Exchange at Blue Prism, discusses artificial artificial intelligence.
Here's what we talked with Paul about:
* What we can do with a digital worker and AI combined * What trends impact the deployment of the digital workforce inside companies today* What types of jobs digital workers will take on in the next 24 months* What skills our digital counterparts need to continue learning for us to get there

24. Perspectives on RPA from the Identity Management Side of the Coin
Human beings have roles beyond their activities. They need performance reviews and access to buildings, for instance. They have careers. Humans have a complex identity. What about robots?
Robots are created and destroyed far more quickly and far more simply than an individual's employment is created and destroyed. Which leads to questions: How is this entity being created? How is it achieving what it's been created to achieve? And what do we do with it when it no longer achieves what it's supposed to?
On this episode of Generation Digital Workforce, Alan Radford, Regional CTO at One Identity, discusses his perspective on RPA from the identity management side of the coin.
Here's what we talked with Alan about:
* What is RPA and how identity management customers leverage it
* The lifespan of a digital worker
* The three key pillars to an identity access governance program
* Mitigating risk in a virtual world
* Future developments as digital workforces become more ubiquitous across enterprises

21. Using Digital Workers for Data-Driven Healthcare Outcomes
Healthcare provider organizations are under huge pressures to support a pandemic as well as the standard load of health-related issues presented by patients. With information privacy requirements, provider credentialing validation, and revenue-cycle claim issues, clinics are struggling to keep up with the overwhelming demand that corresponds to delivering high-quality healthcare.
Kevin Dunnahoo from Protiviti discusses ways to leverage automation through a digital workforce to support the compliance aspects of delivering care, while integrating the massive flow of data from this delivery of care to offer insights into improving patient outcomes.
Here’s what we talked with Kevin about:
* Hospital systems are being overwhelmed with COVID patients which may not provide the same revenue stream that elective care options would for the providers, increasing the financial strain
* Digital workers can offer a way to bridge the gaps across many EHR systems and other platforms to get more insight into the data
* Compliance and healthcare claims push the limits of the healthcare provider organizations which require increasing levels of reviews
* Gathering patient data across many platforms in a secure and private way can offer ways to offer more personalized care
