| Criteria | Robotic Process Automation | Artificial Intelligence |
|---|---|---|
| Use | It is used to mimic repetitive and rule-based human actions. | It is the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans. |
| Implementation | It provides a smooth implementation. It can be set up within a few weeks. | It does not provide the smooth implementation. It requires a lot of work to set up and run. |
| Concept | It is based on pre-defined rules that help software bots to mimic human actions. | It is based on 'thinking' and 'learning'. It can learn from human actions and make decisions on specific cases. |
