Artificial Intelligence as a Service – AI off the shelf - Dataconomy

In recent years, tech giants such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and IBM (along with a slew of startups) have all begun to offer what's known as Artificial Intelligence as a service (AIaaS). These services, in a nutshell, make a wide range of AI algorithms available to the public. Examples for this are algorithms for classification, regression, and Deep Learning – a modern learning algorithm that relies on Artificial Deep Neural Nets. As more and more companies begin to make use of AlaaS, a better understanding of how it can be best integrated into your own business is the difference between having a massive cost-saver and a massive headache. Companies once had to spend a lot of time producing their own AI applications, and did so at great expenditure.
