The document discusses trends in applying artificial intelligence (AI) to IT service management (ITSM). It defines AI and discusses how AI can interact with and improve the IT service desk through chatbots, recommendations, and prioritizing knowledge bases. The document outlines use cases for AI in ITSM like improving self-service, decision making, and services. It also covers benefits like better user experience and time to insight but challenges like resistance to change and lack of trust. Industry experts provide opinions on using AI to augment rather than replace humans. In conclusion, AI is poised to be a boon for ITSM by complementing human agents.

AI refers to a set of computer science techniques that
enable system to perform task normally requiring human
intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition,
decision making and language translation.
Machine Learning and deep learning are branches of AI
which, based on algorithms and powerful data analysis,
enable computers to learn and adapt independently.

Tools to Accelerate Resolution
AI can compare current tickets against past ones and
generate smart suggestions for every field, keeping
service desk operations one step ahead.
Rated Recommendations
Each comes with a rating that estimates its accuracy,
along with a handful of other options to choose from.
if first option isn’t right one then The Service desk AI
will learn and apply that toward future decision.
Knowledge Library
AI will prioritize knowledgebase materials according
to historical data by this ITSM workers see only the
resource they need.

Implementing AI will require
Organizational Change
Management, which can be very
difficult. Between changed
responsibilities and learning to
work with new technologies, the
IT department, even IT leaders
may be slow to adapt to new
workflows.
AI will be a boon to IT staff but
fear of lost jobs is still rampant.
What we found out is, that the
work is shifting, not disappearing.
Tech Staff has increased in almost
12 percent of organizations, and
decreased in only about 8
percent."
Unaware of benefits involved in automation Atkinson says "Trust in the AI tools must be established. Too
often, business decisions are made despite what the data says. Service managers and executives must learn to
trust what the AI says, and act accordingly."

“Goal is to use machine learning
capabilities to better predict
and drive system utilization and
provisioning. The user
experience can be improved
using tools like chat bots.”
Thomas Reuner
Senior VP at HfS Research Ltd
“Most Organizations look at
those technologies as
augmenting, rather than
replacing human agents”
14. Celebrities & their views on AI

Mark ZuckerbergAlan Perlis
“A year spent in artificial
intelligence is enough to make
one believe in God”
Stephen Hawking
“AI would take off on its own and redesign
itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans who
are slow biological evolution, couldn’t
compete and would be superseded”
“Whenever I hear people saying AI is
going to hurt people in the future I think,
yeah, technology can generally always be
used for good and bad and you need to
be careful about how you build it
15. The world of AI – is the future changing?
Conclusion 15
What we feel !
ITSM is moving towards the next phase of automation and ITSM trends such as AI, ML, and
voice assistants complement human agents, thereby increasing the overall efficiency.
01
What percentage do you think would be impacted if machine learning is
being used with the IT help desk in terms of support capacity by 2019 ?
”According to Gartner By 2019, IT service desks utilizing machine learning enhanced
technologies will free up to 30% of support capacity."
02 After going through the presentation, what are your thoughts on AI in
collaboration with ITSM ? Do you agree it is a boon or bane ?
Adopting these technologies within ITSM pose a huge opportunity for businesses to
deliver exceptional end user experience. These technologies will complement human
support in real-time to meet the high demands of customers and increase productivity. If
you haven't adopted this trend already, you might lose the big game! Review the current
system, devise the right strategies and embrace these technologies to create a connected
ITSM environment that works.

So I see that you guys can clearly understand what ai is and we all can relate with how ai is coming to our world however we also want to mention how Ai will integrate it self to ITSM and I would say get prepared
This can range from resource planning, through deflecting work from the service desk, to using AI to make service desk agents smarter.
This could be something as minimum as the automated routing and workflow of new issues, based on the AI, understanding the meaning and context of the issue, past successes (with similar issues), and the availability of different support resources.
Starting with more obvious elements such as intelligent search, where the meaning and context, plus the learning from previous search successes, can be employed to offer more accurate search results. Then self-service can be taken to the end user, rather than the end user needing to visit a self-service portal. This could be the use of virtual personal assistants, such as Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa, in the workplace.
This could either be the improvement of the services end users consume or the services offered by the IT service desk. For instance, predictive analytics can identify common IT issues or future high-impact issues that are yet to be felt.
Amazon Go – No manual intervention , 100% accuracy, no employee on leave, no sick leave , 24/7 support
Chatbot - You dont need to go to the helpdesk agent , instant response from the Chatbot
Biiling convinience at Amazon Go – money deducted from the App directly – hassle free environment
Machine learning and deep learning – learns itslef and is continuosly improving
Artificial intelligence will significantly improve Incident Management, from discovering and logging issues to fixing the root cause. The result? Automation will “stabilize the IT environment and give businesses a better foundation for digital transformation
