There’s a ton of momentum around machine learning and AI today, but there are important logistics to be worked out.
Despite fears and bold proclamations that AI will replace humans, its best application today is in serving people, to make them more productive.
Today’s AI platforms need to support that use case, but how well do they do so?
Next is the overwhelming fragmentation of AI tools and technologies. There are a range of machine learning and deep learning frameworks and libraries with which to build models.

Reasons to use AI
The result is that companies are getting distracted by these disparate technologies, diluting their focus on the pragmatic adoption of AI.
There is also the decision point around using trained models from the public cloud providers: which platforms should you be on, and is there any way to mix, match and compare them?
Abstraction layers help here, not just across libraries or cloud-based cognitive services, but for using them in combination, and testing which is most effective.
Plus, once that’s done, and the models are built and/or selected, there’s the issue of deploying them to, and using them in, production.
What’s the best way to achieve that operationalization?
There are a lot of questions here. Join us for this free 1-hour webinar from GigaOm Research to get to some of the answers.
