AI & Machine learning
The key difference between AI and other forms of technology, is that AI is probabilistic.
It operates more like how humans operates, in terms of how it formulates conclusions. It’s not deterministic like traditional software, where you have formulaic problems that are answered in a deterministic way; If this, then that.
AI really relies more on training, and it relies on probabilistic computing techniques, including machine learning.
AI business efficiency
It is very strategic for companies to use AI ML for business processes. The main issues with these processes over time has been inefficient; You have people who were part of the processes, that leave companies, and what AI ML can do is that it can allow you to be in a place where you don’t need to scale your business with people. For example, if 50 requests comes in, and next month you get 20’000 requests that come in. The process is still the same even if each case is unique.
Artificial intelligence will take as input, anything that is repetitive in nature, and automate it.
It will enable an organization to redeploy their capital on areas in where it would position them to be more competitive. New processes will emerge, hence new opportunities will be discovered with Artificial intelligence.
New Opportunities for Businesses in AI
The best strategies for companies to adopt AI by thinking of solutions to problems that don’t require extremely high accuracy.
Where engineers & data scientists have failed in the past, is using AI technologies for problems that are completely replacing humans. The problem there is that the variables are too high. In voice recognition for example, there are too many accents for AI to recognize.
It does require a deep understanding of the initial data collected, prior to modelling a solution.
The adoption by companies are only limited by the ability to change.
Accessing this intelligence is as simple as accessing APIs, owing to various AI platforms that are leading the way. You can foster the potential that these services provide if you’re a business.
If you have your own models and wish to produce predictions on new data, Google provides a dedicated prediction service for it. It’s also feasible to add own code if you want to go for something out of the ordinary or experimental. The Prediction service is part of a larger product known as the AI Platform.
If you’ve been paying attention to the AI area, you’ve probably noticed the advent of GPT-3. It’s a sophisticated machine learning model for working with natural languages. OpenAI, an organisation founded to foster study and cooperation in the AI area — all in the open, which is unusual in today’s world — is the driving force behind GPT-3.
Underlabs has access to use OpenAI since it has been available last year. Get in touch with us to learn more how to can help solve your business processes.
