The Business Intelligence Group today announced the winners of its inaugural Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards program. This business awards program sets out to recognize those organizations, products and people who bring Artificial Intelligence (AI) to life and apply it to solve real problems. Nominations were received and winners were chosen in all four of the categories of AI including Reactive Machines, Limited Memory, Theory of Mind, and Self-Awareness.

“As evidenced by all of the nominations, Artificial Intelligence is set to transform nearly every aspect of our lives and culture,” said Maria Jimenez, chief nominations officer for Business Intelligence Group. “As more and more companies build new tools, launch new services or deploy the AI of strategic vendors, it is important to recognize the truly unique solutions and how they impact the market. We are so proud that such an incredible group of companies won this year’s program. Congratulations to all of them.”

Capgemini was chosen as the overall winner for its “Cash Collections Assistant,” a human-like voice collector that responds quickly to customers in 24 languages. The AI speech generation engine is trained and backed by natural language processing (NLP) to fit finance models and semantic topic understanding. The solution is implemented using cognitive NLP, live voice transcription, autonomous micro-services, and modern web frameworks. All of its elements operate in the cloud, enabling key enterprise features such as scalability, multi-tenancy, leading market security compliance, and continuous deployment.

“Capgemini's Perform AI portfolio of solutions moves organizations beyond a proof of concept to pragmatic delivery at scale for real business impact,” said Adam Bujak, global head of Intelligent Automation Practice, Capgemini’s Business Services. “Capgemini's Business Services team delivers Intelligent Process Automation to transform our clients' operations by assisting, augmenting, and automating them – with a human team member at the center executing higher value tasks.
