How Sitefinity Harnesses Cognitive AI Services to Deliver High Web Performance

In the recent years, the scope and recognition of Artificial intelligence and related technologies such as- Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Speech Recognition, Text Mining, Neural Network and Cognitive Computing has grown to a substantial extent.

The possible applications for Artificial Intelligence are quite extensive and are already included in our daily routine. From Siri/Alexa/Cortana/Google Voice Assistant to Netflix videos recommendations, based on our viewing pattern, all are based on applications of AI.

AI and Cognitive computing are the words often used interchangeably, but there are obvious distinctions in the approaches and objectives of these two. Although, both indicate their promising and imperative role in the coming future, both the technologies hold different meaning when brought to the practical use.

AI can be defined as- “The simulation of human intelligence processed by machines, especially computer systems.

These processes include learning, reasoning, and self-correction.” But, when it comes to Cognitive computing, it is difficult to define it explicitly. Tech experts describe it as- cognitive computing systems actually intend to simulate human thought processes.

Cognitive computing is the individual technology that performs a specific task that facilitates human intelligence.

On the other hand, AI empowers a computer to be smart to an extent of being smarter than humans.

The good news is, now you can integrate Cognitive services with Sitefinity WCMS for content generation, content analysis, providing sentiments, hashtags, categories, and auto generated summaries.

This integration can boost the quality of the content and can save a significant amount of time and efforts. In this blog, we will explain how it can be done in Sitefinity.
