Getting a quick AI project pilot from an external IT company can be deceptive and short-term oriented. Applied AI is NOT a piece of software that you install and run like an Excel spreadsheet.
Often the main issue at hand is to gather relevant data, and a huge volume of it. Your data may be currently in various databases or issued from various sensors. They need to be gathered and engineered (we say "data cleaning") with the right
statistical analysis to find where improvements can be made.
A deep functional analysis of your business needs as
well as the availability of the right amount of relevant data is required before jumping in the AI wagon and profiting from it.
