Implementing AI applications in business

Incorporating artificial intelligence technologies into a business isn’t much different than the process a business would have gone through when it incorporated any other new technology of its time. Such as, the internet, social media, e-commerce, smart phones, and cloud computing.

Here is a high-level overview of how any business can implement AI applications into their business operations today:

Assess Your Business Needs

The first step in AI implementation is to assess your business needs and identify the areas where AI can add value. Check out this article with practical use cases for where AI applications can be implemented across many common business departments like accounting, human resources and marketing.

Data Collection and Preparation

AI relies on high-quality data to generate accurate insights and predictions. Your data may need to be cleaned, processed, and labeled to ensure it is suitable for AI model training.

Model Development and Training

AI models are the core components of AI systems. And if you do not have someone in your organization with development experience, you should definitely consider partnering with an AI Consultant to help you design and develop AI models using appropriate algorithms and techniques.

Integration and Deployment

Once your AI models are trained and validated, they need to be integrated into your existing systems or applications.

Monitoring and Evaluation

After AI deployment, it is crucial to monitor the performance of your AI systems and evaluate their impact on your business.

Continuous Improvement

Like any other technology, AI is an iterative process that requires continuous improvement and optimization. Your AI applications will require updates to ensure they remain effective and secure. And as your business needs evolve, your systems will need to evolve with them.

AI should be governed by humans and critical outputs monitored to ensure accuracy and ethics, especially for critical or customer facing workloads.

In our vision of AI your people will be happier, you will outperform your market, and your bottom line will grow.

Still Strategizing?

Here is a bit of practical information to help think about AI in your organization.

There are countless ways in which artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can enhance businesses. The current capabilities of AI will fall into the following general categories:

Classification

Sometimes the lines are a bit blurred between machine learning and AI especially in this category of AI capability.

Classification in general can be defined as the systematic grouping of observations into categories. 

Some examples are:

  • SPAM/bulk email detection
  • Quality control
  • Dynamic content categorization

Prediction

There really isn’t much need to redefine prediction. Asking AI to predict an outcome with either a little or a lot of information is the heart of the concept.

Some examples are:

  • Credit risk/rating
  • Insurance actuarial
  • Mechanical or machine failure

Sense

Systems designed to interpret and understand inputs from the external environment in a way that mimics human sensory functions. 

Some examples are:

  • Computer Vision
  • Speech Recognition
  • Olfactory and Gustatory Sensors

Language

The language capability of AI has been responsible for a lot of the recent AI hype.  The term GPT, generative pre-trained transformer, is essentially a family of large language models (LLMs).

Some examples are:

  • Answering questions
  • Writing content
  • Changing tone of text

Intelligent Agents

Intelligent agents can be given actual tasks and can be expected to complete them. In most cases you are probably building on top of other AI capabilities. 

Some examples are:

  • an AI agent that can book corporate travel
  • A chatbot that can sell you a product
  • An agent that calls prospects and sets up meetings

Questions & Answers

How does AI work?

In its most simplest form, AI programming is centered around three key cognitive abilities: learning, reasoning, and self-correction.

The learning aspect of AI programming centers on the acquisition of data and the development of rules for transforming that data into actionable insights. These rules, known as algorithms, provide a step-by-step guide for computing systems to follow when executing a specific task.

The reasoning aspect involves AI’s capacity to select the most suitable algorithm from a pool of options based on the context at hand.

The self-correction aspect focuses on the ability of AI technology to continuously adjust and refine its output until it successfully achieves the desired objective.

Is there a difference between AI and ML?

Yes. While Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are often used interchangeably, they are not the same. 

AI is a broad concept that refers to machines or software mimicking human intelligence. It’s about creating systems that can perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence. These tasks include learning from experience, understanding natural language, recognizing patterns, and making decisions.

On the other hand, ML is a subset of artificial intelligence. It’s a method of training machines to improve their performance on a specific task over time, without being explicitly programmed to do so. In ML, an algorithm learns from data. The more data it processes, the better it gets at the task it’s designed for.

So, in essence, while AI is about making machines intelligent, ML is one of the ways we’re achieving it.

Will AI replace human labor?

It is highly unlikely that AI will completely replace humans. It is more likely to complement and enhance human work, automating routine tasks and allowing humans to focus on more valuable activities. Additionally, developing and maintaining AI systems requires specialized knowledge, creating new job opportunities in fields like computer science and machine learning technology.

How much does AI cost?

Just like with any other development project, the costs associated with designing and developing your AI solution will vary. Depending on your project, that range can be anywhere from a few thousand to millions of dollars. Available data, current infrastructure, software, project objectives, etc. will all impact the complexity and thus cost of the project. 

The only way to accurately estimate a development project is to look at the specifics of what you want to achieve. Atlantic BT accomplishes this through an AI Discovery, which is very similar to the Discovery Phase of Our Process when developing any other type of application. During this process, we’ll be able to rapidly determine functional requirements and build a plan that will ensure success within an established budget. Atlantic BT will then provide you with a comprehensive breakdown of the timeline, cost and any additional resources needed for your project.

I don’t know much about AI, where do I even begin?

“Fear of the unknown” shouldn’t paralyze you from considering how new technology may positively impact your business. A valuable starting point to enhance your knowledge of AI and ML is with Atlantic BT’s blog. This section of our website offers a wealth of valuable resources, including insights into the history, use cases across various departments, and a comprehensive roadmap for getting started with any AI implementation project.

The goal of our AI Discovery is to help you to identify systems and business workflows that can be improved with this sophisticated technology. Reach out today to get started.

Is AI safe?

Artificial Intelligence is a tool, and like any tool, its safety depends on how it’s used. When designed, developed, and deployed responsibly, AI can be safe and extremely beneficial. However, there are valid concerns about its misuse. Issues such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the fear of job displacement are often discussed in the context of its safe use. It’s important for organizations to address these concerns by implementing ethical guidelines, prioritizing transparency, and ensuring that AI systems are auditable.

At Atlantic BT, we’re committed to the responsible use of AI. We adhere to best practices in development and deployment, ensuring that the AI solutions that we work with are not only effective but also respectful of user privacy and fairness. We believe that with the right approach, AI can be both safe and transformative for your business.

How does AI impact cybersecurity?

AI plays a dual role in cybersecurity, as both a defender and a potential threat. As a defender, AI tools can enhance cybersecurity measures through more sophisticated threat detection and predictive capabilities. However, it can also pose threats to cybersecurity. Cybercriminals can use AI to carry out more sophisticated attacks. For example, they can automate their attack processes or use the technology to better hide their activities. Businesses must also be aware of the potential harm of AI Bias. If a system is trained on biased data, it could lead to unfair outcomes, which could be exploited by malicious actors.

At Atlantic BT, we understand the complexities of AI in cybersecurity. Our goal is to ensure that our use of any technology provides the maximum benefit to your business while minimizing potential threats.
