I think it&#x27;s about machines learning how to do things and improve at them rather than the decision parameters being hard coded. Most process automation is completely deterministic, the computer isn&#x27;t being smart itself because all the smarts were pre-determined by humans.<p>Neural nets and learning algorithms that are trained to do things are different and can cope with decision spaces involving a numerous variables where deterministically working out all the possible values and corresponding expected outputs isn&#x27;t viable.
