Artificial Intelligence and the future of energy – WePower – Medium

With the rise of cloud computing and the ever-decreasing costs associated with computations, now and in the future this technology will be more and more widely available. One of the most process heavy steps in AI systems is model training and validation. Being able to pay per minute or even second for the use of computing power removes the need for large upfront investment and data centre maintenance costs. With Google Cloud, IBM Bluemix and Amazon Cloud the power to perform highly complex computations is readily available for everyone today [11]. The systems architecture for machine learning which underpins artificial intelligence is also seamlessly provided by cloud solutions.
