Hi Pawan,

Difference between AI and RPA are follow:

RPA in short – involves the production of automation with the help of  
software. Robotic process automation differs from artificial  
intelligence in the sense that software robots must always be provided  
with instructions, because they themselves are not intelligent — at  
least, not yet.

Artificial intelligence (AI), on the other hand, is an umbrella term for a machine’s ability to imitate a human’s way of sensing things, make deductions and communicate. An example of this is machine vision,which allows for real-time traffic counting from the feed of a traffic camera, the anticipation of congestion, and alerts concerning potential emergencies. Machine vision and image recognition enable the automation of control room work and preventive intervention in situations.

Thanks,  
Snehal.
