What are AI services?
AI services are pre-built fully managed services that perform a particular set of ML tasks out of the box, such as facial analysis or text analysis. The primary target users for AI services are application developers who want to build AI applications without the need to build ML models from scratch. In contrast, the target audiences for ML platforms are data scientists and ML engineers, who need to go through the full ML lifecycle to build and deploy ML models.
For an organization, AI services mainly solve the following key challenges:
- Lack of high-quality training data for ML model development: To train high-quality models, you need a large amount of high-quality curated data. For many organizations, data poses many challenges in data sourcing, data engineering, and data labeling.
- Lack of data science skills for building and deploying custom ML models: Data science and ML engineering skills are scarce in the market and expensive to acquire...
