If you are a manager, you may have once tried to write down what you do. How did you write it down? In the form of a list of activities? A Gantt schedule or a critical path drawing?

When can a robot be called intelligent, and when is it simply programmed to react in a certain way in certain situations? Today I will tell you about the 3 elements of artificial intelligence that must occur for a machine to have a chance (not a certainty, but a chance) of winning the Turing test. So let’s make a smart kettle instead of the one you

The same is true for software to do anything in management, and more broadly in organizational reality. I will describe today, based on the literature, why ontology is so important. An ontology is a formal, predetermined description of phenomena in a given slice of reality, whose characteristics are describable by certain variables or
