Single or Multi Service.

What is AI?


Capabilities that allow software to emulate human abilities. These can include:

  • Vision and recognition
  • Speech and language
  • Decision making
  • Conversation
  • Generating text and images

Machine Learning is not AI. Machine Learning focuses on the training and use of predictive models.

AI builds on machine learning to emulate an aspect of human intelligence.

Labeled data -> Model Training -> Testing data -> Trained model -> Validate the label

Publish the validated model, not the trained model.

AI Solutions are tightly coupled to data. Many roles including software engineers, data analysts and others care about AI.

Note: Responsibility of using AI must be understood by all.
