OCR has been around for quite a long time, but without the ability to understand, it is mostly useless for tasks of this nature. The ability for a machine to learn, and to thereby understand, gives the opportunity for thousands of documents to be processed by a tireless machine that doesn’t make mistakes in the same way that a human might. The AI industry is prone to calling these algorithms “robots”, as the dictionary definition of a robot includes “…that are able to replicate certain human movements and functions automatically” – by reading and understanding, they are replicating what a human could do.
