AI Agents in Business Process Modelling
Overview:
The latest episode of Die Prozess Philosophen features August-Wilhelm Scheer discussing the implications of AI agents on process modelling. The conversation highlights the need to rethink traditional methods due to the autonomy of AI agents in executing tasks and achieving outcomes.
Core content:
- AI agents operate autonomously, making independent decisions to achieve set goals and potentially changing how we approach process modelling.
- The traditional role of defining activities and drafting work instructions may shift as AI agents handle tasks without clear documentation.
- Process models may become more abstract, focusing on outcomes rather than individual tasks, leading to fewer required models.
- Industries like travel and healthcare may see early adoption of AI agents due to their inherent complexity and case management characteristics.
Learnings:
- Understanding AI agents’ role can lead to a paradigm shift in business process modelling, reducing the need for detailed work instructions.
- The concept of black boxes in process models may redefine how alignment between activities is perceived.
- The future documentation of processes may require new conventions to accurately incorporate AI agent functionality.
- AI agents could potentially streamline some documentation tasks, raising questions about the future role of human documenters.
