Meeting Notes

3 Challenges for LF AI

  • Control the « AI Economics » (ROI optimization & Risk management when introducing AI Model)
  • Speed-up the development of end to end AI tools and the interoperability with Enterprise Data Lake
  • Setting up guidelines for Trusted & Fairness «AI»


Several types of barriers were highlighted by the panelists

  • Why to introduce AI - Difficulty to describe an AI use case and translate business benefit, not clear ROI.
    -> Supporting customers in their strategy to introduce AI and build ROI can tackle this issue
  • Project Technical or HR (skills) issues - Multiple environment/tools constrain End to End Solution, lack of talent/skills in companies, difficulty to deploy and scale.
    -> Open source solutions, in particular LF AI and Acumos AI project will facilitate mutualized approaches and multi-skills collaboration to workaround
  • Readiness (technical or mindset) - Data supply chain not ready, lack of trust
    -> trustful AI approaches and better awareness in AI capabilities (also avoiding “overselling” AI) are potential solutions to tackle this.
