The AI Hierarchy of Needs meets the Minimum Viable Product

Two of my favourite pyramids are the Data Science Hierarchy of Needs and the Minimum Viable Product. Combining them helps us build effective artificial intelligence (AI) proof of concepts in businesses. It also supports building AI competency at the same time as demonstrating Return on Investment (ROI). Monica Rogati introduced the Data Science Hierarchy of Needs in the 2017 Hacker Noon article, The AI Hierarchy of Needs. Rogati uses the pyramid to explain that like in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the essentials are required before you can move towards the ultimate goal.
