Artificial intelligence (AI) augmentation, which involves people and AI working together to enhance cognitive performance, will create business value worth $2.9 trillion and 6.2 billion hours of worker productivity globally in about two years, according to technology research firm Gartner.

Augmented intelligence, according to Gartner, includes tasks such as learning, decision making and new experiences.
