Rolling out artificial intelligence for

the benefit of

businesses people society

The future of artificial intelligence resides in

people!

Beneficial

because it’s revolutionary

So what is artificial intelligence?

Artificial intelligence allows software applications and machines to copy human intelligence in order to perform complex tasks. AI draws on multiple branches of science and uses various techniques and approaches.
Basically, any business can use AI to optimise its data-driven computing to obtain better performance and insights. AI can also help make giant leaps in science, ecology and for society as a whole. The term AI refers to different realities ranging from the automisation of repetitive and tedious tasks to optimising a patient care pathway or making a city smarter. That’s the revolution!

The aim of DIVA is to support you in seizing the many opportunities that AI offers.

Beneficial

because it’s within easy reach

If you think AI is only for the elite, then think again!

It can help you to automate tasks like invoicing on Excel, streamlining production flows with smart robotics or boosting the efficiency of care pathways. AI lends itself to a whole range of tasks and applications.

DIVA is designed to facilitate the widespread rollout of AI so that everyone can benefit.

Beneficial

because it’s responsible

So what about ethics and AI?

Artificial intelligence will produce added value and offer huge benefits to society if it is used properly. Transparency and privacy are key to rolling out an artificial intelligence that is both responsible and far-reaching. These principles guide our action.

DIVA will always put people first.
That’s where the future of AI lies.
