The big leap from your initial AI pilot: Advice and expertise not to miss

[Hande_Sahin_Bah]

AI awareness and curiosity beyond IT community is surprisingly high. It is no wonder key decision-makers and budget owners of initial AI projects are business and functional teams vs. IT organisations. There are hundreds of possibilities, use cases that can be tackled with the power of AI applications. Here are some key ones our AI experts from HPE Pointnext Services engage in:

• Vision—Image recognition to detect fraud, defects.
• Voice—Text-to-voice interfaces, natural language processing for deciphering human language
• Decision-making- AI algorithms, models and machine learning applied to automate analytics and decisions such as prescriptive analytics

It is great to see increasing number of AI pilots that mostly apply machine-learning for specific business scenarios. This narrow and deep application of AI makes it real for businesses. Yet, there are very few organisations that rely on AI to transform their business broadly. Applying AI at a scale in an enterprise environment takes more than a technology pilot. Trust in AI builds in time and only after testing and improving the model with a feedback loop. There are other key considerations as well. Do you have the right data, enough data, AI governance and security in place?  Is your organisation ready with skills and trust? Will your initial AI pilot scale economically and in a predictive way? In a recent whitepaper from Futurum ‘Exploring the Artificial Intelligence Journey for the data-driven Enterprise’ you can read how to overcome the challenges in 5 key areas of a typical AI journey of an enterprise:

• Data preparation
• Infrastructure readiness
• Organisational planning and change management
• Roles, skills and expertise
• Data management and security
