Scaling AI – The shift to accessible intelligence and implications on businesses
AI has long been associated with complex algorithms, exorbitant costs, and exclusive access. The emergence of low-cost AI platforms is fundamentally shifting this paradigm, where the power of intelligent systems becomes accessible to more businesses. This session explores this transformative shift and the rise of affordable AI platforms, open-source initiatives, and the increasing availability of pre-trained models, and what they mean for industry implementation.
