Artificial intelligence is one of those concepts that was hot in the 80s, kind of went away, and now is red hot. Most point to AI’s new features and functions to explain its growing popularity, but it’s actually because public cloud computing has made it affordable.

However, integrating AI with applications, such as banking, medical, manufacturing, and other systems, is actually not where we’re finding the value of cloud-based AI.
