That Artificial Intelligence is advancing day by day is a fact, but that one day the machine will replace the human is pure fantasy. Technology evolves and, therefore, AI is becoming more and more adapted to human needs.trying to look like the people themselves.

For example, these technological advances can be seen in language, in the form of voice technology, or voice tech.

It is not surprising, therefore, that tests such as the Turing test are more in demand. Although we will always have to take into account the premise that AI will never be fully human.

In this post, we delve into the Hybrid Artificial Intelligence, what it is, how it works and its main advantages of this synergy between machines and humans.

Hybrid Artificial Intelligence: definition

To begin with, it should be noted that there are different types of Artificial Intelligence. Machine learning and deep learning or machine learning and deep learning; as well as symbolic and non-symbolic Artificial Intelligence. Symbolic AI is that which employs the use of symbols as a means of representing human knowledge, as well as rules that allow the use of these symbols.

That said, hybrid AI is a mix of all of them... including that of people themselves. That is, it is based on the principle of using the most advanced AI but always under human supervision.

The ideal symbiosis between machine and human. Hybrid Artificial Intelligence sustains the coexistence between the two and, therefore, rejects the fictitious idea - so recurrent in books, series and films - that machines will replace human work. 

Consequently, the primary goal of AI is none other than to simplify and facilitate people's daily tasks.This translates as evolution in society.

What is needed for Hybrid Machine Learning (HML) to work?

For the correct functioning of hybrid Artificial Intelligence it is necessary, first of all, understand the problems to be solved by AI. If there is one thing that characterises Artificial Intelligence, it is its precision, but for this it must have a lot of structured information at its disposal.

In addition, in order to implement hybrid AI well, it is essential to have the necessary technological toolsThese will enable data analysis in less time, cost and effort.

Finally, human support is essentialbased on experience and intuition (qualities that are impossible to obtain in a machine). 

Thus, it is the combination of AI plus human skills that will enable hybrid Artificial Intelligence to function properly.

Advantages of hybrid Artificial Intelligence

What are the benefits of hybrid AI? Quite simply: all the advantages of Artificial Intelligence itself, but with the guarantee of human supervision.

Companies that make use of human knowledge, but with all these smart solutions, will be able to drive their businesses forward to success.

And it is that Artificial Intelligence allows for improved decision making as well as process improvement, which in turn means a better way of meeting users' needs. 

Different algorithms and mathematical logic provide much needed accuracy in predicting future business actions. However, Artificial Intelligence is based on logical patterns, so that the more qualitative part must depend on human action. 

Hence, for an efficient implementation of AI, a hybrid AI strategy is necessary.
