How AIaaS Helps You Address the Challenges of Implementing AI

The implementation of AI presents challenges for many companies According to a representative survey by the digital association BITKOM, two-thirds of the surveyed companies consider AI to be the most important future technology. However, only 8 percent of companies currently use AI applications—largely due to a lack of funds, personnel, and time. While a quarter of respondents plan to invest in AI, smaller and medium-sized enterprises particularly hesitate with such initiatives. Many companies face significant challenges when utilizing AI. Several factors limit the ability to reach the full potential of AI. Often, there is little know-how regarding the deployment and configuration of AI models. The lack of IT resources and capacity for complex projects is exacerbated by a shortage of AI experts. These efforts also depend on high data quality to achieve the desired success. AIaaS Addresses AI Challenges and Enables a Lightweight Entry AIaaS (Artificial Intelligence as a Service) allows companies to adopt and implement AI solutions without significant investment and with reduced risk. Similar to SaaS (Software as a Service), AI models are provided via the cloud. Companies, regardless of size and budget, gain quick and easy access to AI, allowing them to focus on their core business while the AIaaS provider ensures operation and continuous development. The use of AIaaS offers significant advantages. The cloud-based approach increases the flexibility and scalability of AI projects. Additionally, budgeting and planning become easier due to absolute transparency regarding the actual usage of the services. Besides a quick and easy setup, increased speed and adaptability also help unlock the full potential of the underlying data. However, some risks should also be considered—cloud provision raises data protection and security factors that can lead to a so-called “black box.” The efficiency of AI models should also be carefully monitored, as the high computational power required can potentially lead to increased costs. Leftshift One Offers Turnkey AI Models for Quick and Customized AI Benefits To support companies in the rapid and straightforward implementation of AI projects, we offer AIaaS for a lightweight entry. With over 80 AI models, you can get started immediately and integrate them into your existing systems via APIs. We ensure smooth operation around the clock to relieve you of operational burdens. The provided models continuously learn and evolve over time. AIaaS at Leftshift One means full control over the deployed AI models without handing them over to a hyperscaler. You can minimize the risk of creating a “black box” when deploying AI models via the cloud through our AI TRiSM approach. To enhance the trustworthiness of AI applications, governance, fairness, reliability, efficiency, security, and data protection of AI models are prioritized.

In addition, our approach provides you with the following further advantages:

• Rightsizing in der Cloud: To ensure high efficiency in the cloud-based approach, we analyze the utilization and performance metrics of the deployed resources based on actual needs. This helps avoid unused computational capacity and leads to significant cost savings.
• AI Model Cost Optimization: DThe lightweight nature of our AI models allows for efficient and resource-saving operations. With low costs, there are no compromises on service performance.
• Transparentes Preismodell: One advantage of our AIaaS is the straightforward billing of dynamically scalable AI services. This enables you to maintain full cost transparency at all times.
