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.
