Artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing are two booming technologies seeing more and more innovation and adoption across industries in recent years. So, it should come as no surprise that these technologies can be used in tandem to elevate your business. Read on to learn more about how these two technologies influence each other and support your business.
The term “AI” brings to mind images of countless futuristic sci-fi movies, but in fact, it is very much a part of our present. Machine learning is used in tools and applications that you probably interact with on a daily basis, from virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa to social media algorithms. Other AI services can also be used to cut down on your operating costs and increase the efficiency of your business. Many companies are outsourcing tasks like data management to AI for instantaneous results free of human error. AI is also very commonly used to process large volumes of data and extract useful information from it. For instance, personalized, targeted digital ads are powered by machine learning.
But how does cloud computing power AI and vice versa? Well, many of the key benefits of cloud computing generally also apply to AI development and machine learning programs.
Cost efficiency. Machine learning programs are complicated and rely on some advanced hardware. Cloud services have helped make these tools accessible for small and medium businesses by offering a drastically cheaper means of tapping into the power of AI.
Agility. Because cloud computing can enable operations unhindered by on-premises hardware, integrating AI and cloud computing improves their agility and scalability. It can also allow easy and efficient development and deployment of solutions and updates to make your programs run with maximum efficiency and minimal worry of errors.
Data, data, data. The combination of the powers of AI with the extensive storage capacity of the cloud offers the ability to store, access, and interpret unfathomable amounts of data. More data means greater capability for machine learning, which means more useful and insightful results for businesses. And in turn, AI can be used to help manage the vast troves of data that clouds can house. AI tools can analyze this data and provide meaningful information from it which companies can then leverage.
