Applied Artificial Intelligence: An Introduction For Business Leaders

by Mariya Yao

A key milestone in the corporate digital transformation is the development of a centralized data and technology infrastructure. These two elements connect consumer applications, enterprise systems, and third-party partners and provide access to a single source of truth that contains relevant, up-to-date, and accurate information for all parties. Designing and implementing the infrastructure needed for enterprise-scale AI requires a strong and dedicated technology team that can develop internal application programming interfaces (APIs) to standardize access to both data and your company’s internal business technology. Doing so will enable your company to streamline enterprise-wide data analysis, accelerate product development, and respond more quickly in evolving markets. Internal APIs will also reduce the communication overhead needed to hunt down specific data, negotiate access, and interpret variations. You will also avoid duplicating software development work across different departments that have overlapping needs and goals.
