No broad industry trend, not client/server computing, not affordable hardware, not even the cloud itself, promises to so completely reshape the enterprise than artificial intelligence (AI). Melding decades-old mathematical principles with cutting edge algorithms and readily available, high performance hardware, AI is creating a seismic shift in the way companies across all industries build, maintain, and understand their core and departmental business operations.

Data is the most important asset businesses have. As the world has become increasingly digital, data has grown in volume and value. In fact, this most valuable resource of modern society doubles in volume every year and that growth rate is likely to accelerate even further. Of course, this creates a challenge: how to store data securely and how to be sure that every operation with data is secured? Today loss of data means loss of everything: business, identity, future, and even life in some cases.

High-profile examples of harm associated with algorithm failure and misuse have garnered significant public concern (e.g. manipulation of the democratic process, discriminatory practice in criminal justice sentencing, and bias against racial and gender categories in the labour market). The field of AI ethics refers to the literature and to the community of people interested in this space. One high-profile manifestation of this is the formation of specialist ethics councils and teams to deliberate on conundrums regarding the use, access and openness of platforms and technologies (such as social media and messaging apps, etc.). For instance, the banning of particular public figures as well as lay users for use of the services in a manner that is not acceptable has been a constant theme in the public debate.

Machine learning, one of the key building blocks of AI, has been a part of the technological world since the 1950s, when the earliest programmers asked computers to make sense of large sets of data. Programmers have increasingly refined the ability of machines to study data in order to detect patterns that allow computers to then organise information, identify relationships, make predictions and detect anomalies. Today, modern applications of AI have already given us self-driving cars and virtual assistants and have helped us detect fraud and manage resources like electricity more efficiently. Sectors as diverse as retail, sports, banking, manufacturing and healthcare have all found applications for machine learning and AI.

The pandemic has brought about significant economic disruption, thereby increasing the need for banks and financial institutions to be more agile. However, Covid-19 is not the only factor that drives automation and digitalization in the credit and lending process in credit institutions. Incumbent banks are increasingly facing pressure from neobanks, these having the strategic advantage of being “born digital”. In addition, customers demand fully digitalized processes with regard to the ease of use and fast turnaround times.

The future of AI is hybrid. As generative AI adoption grows at record-setting speeds1 and drives higher demand for compute,2 AI processing must be distributed between the cloud and devices for AI to scale and reach its full potential – just like traditional computing evolved from mainframes and thin clients to today’s mix of cloud and edge devices. A hybrid AI architecture distributes and coordinates AI workloads among cloud and edge devices, rather than processing in the cloud alone. The cloud and edge devices, such as smartphones, vehicles, PCs, and IoT devices, work together to deliver more powerful, efficient, and highly optimized AI.
