3.Artificial Intelligence as a Service

Artificial Intelligence as a service (AIaaS) is defined as a service that outsources AI to enable individuals and companies to explore and scale AI techniques at a minimal cost. Artificial intelligence benefits businesses in numerous ways, right from improving customer experiences to automating redundant tasks. However, developing in-house AI-based solutions is a complex process that requires huge capital investment. That’s why businesses are openly embracing AIaaS, where third-party providers offer ready-to-use AI services.

Artificial intelligence as a service refers to out-of-box AI services rendered by companies to potential subscribers. AI refers to a paradigm where computer systems perform human-like tasks by reasoning, picking up cues from past experiences, learning, and solving problems. Broadly, disparate technologies such as machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and robotics come under the AI roof.

Like software as a service (SaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS), AIaaS provides an ‘as a service’ package that a third-party provider hosts. This is a cost-effective and reliable alternative to software developed by an in-house team. As such, AI becomes accessible to everyone in the corporate ecosystem. With AIaaS, end users can harness the capabilities of AI through application programming interfaces (APIs) and tools without having to write any complex codes.

Like any other ‘as a service’ solution, AIaaS uses cloud computing models effectively to leverage AI. It adds substantial flexibility in overall organizational operations and enhances efficiency, thereby driving productivity levels. AIaaS is highly dynamic and adaptable. It is primarily effective in optimizing the outcomes of big data analytics projects. These readily available AI services allow companies to extract the key benefits of AI without making huge capital investments (or even bearing the related risks) to build and execute their cloud platforms.

Global businesses continue to adopt AIaaS as they see the great value it has to offer. According to a June 2021 report by Technavio, the global AIaaS market is expected to grow by $14.70 billion from 2021 to 2025 at a CAGR of 40.73%. Overall, AIaaS offers several benefits, including ease of setup, which can even be accomplished within weeks. However, initial research is essential for any organization to understand its requirements for AIaaS adoption better.

4. Speech recognition

Speech recognition is another important subset of artificial intelligence that converts human speech into a useful and understandable format by computers. Speech recognition is a bridge between human and computer interactions. The technology recognizes and converts human speech in several languages. Siri of iPhone is a classic example of speech recognition.

5. Virtual agents

Virtual agents have become valuable tools for instructional designers. A virtual agent is a computer application that interacts with humans. Web and mobile applications provide chatbots as their customer service agents to interact with humans to answer their queries. Google Assistant helps to organize meetings, and Alexia from Amazon helps to make your shopping easy. A virtual assistant also acts like a language assistant, which picks cues from your choice and preference. The IBM Watson understands the typical customer service queries which are asked in several ways. Virtual agents act as software-as-a-service too.

6. Decision management

Modern organizations are implementing decision management systems for data conversion and interpretation into predictive models. Enterprise-level applications implement decision management systems to receive up-to-date information to perform business data analysis to aid in organizational decision-making. Decision management helps in making quick decisions, avoidance of risks, and in automation the process. The decision management system is widely implemented in the financial sector, the healthcare sector, trading, the insurance sector, e-commerce, etc.

7. Biometrics

Deep learning is another branch of artificial intelligence that functions based on artificial neural networks. This technique teaches computers and machines to learn by example just the way humans do. The term “deep” is coined because it has hidden layers in neural networks. Typically, a neural network has 2-3 hidden layers and can have a maximum of 150 hidden layers. Deep learning is effective on huge data to train a model and a graphic processing unit. The algorithms work in a hierarchy to automate predictive analytics. Deep learning has spread its wings in many domains like aerospace and military to detect objects from satellites, help in improving worker safety by identifying risk incidents when a worker gets close to a machine, help to detect cancer cells, etc.

8. Machine learning

Machine learning is a division of artificial intelligence that empowers machines to make sense of data sets without being actually programmed. Machine learning technique helps businesses to make informed decisions with data analytics performed using algorithms and statistical models. Enterprises are investing heavily in machine learning to reap the benefits of its application in diverse domains. Healthcare and the medical profession need machine learning techniques to analyze patient data for the prediction of diseases and effective treatment. The banking and financial sector needs machine learning for customer data analysis to identify and suggest investment options to customers and for risk and fraud prevention. Retailers utilize machine learning for predicting changing customer preferences, and consumer behavior, by analyzing customer data.

9. Robotic process automation

Robotic process automation is an application of artificial intelligence that configures a robot (software application) to interpret, communicate and analyze data. This discipline of artificial intelligence helps to automate partially or fully manual operations that are repetitive and rule-based.

10. Peer-to-peer network

The peer-to-peer network helps to connect different systems and computers for data sharing without the data transmitting via a server. Peer-to-peer networks have the ability to solve the most complex problems. This technology is used in cryptocurrencies.
