Until now, artificial Intelligence has largely relied on cloud computing, which offers virtually unlimited computational power: this is advantageous when it comes to training data-heavy AI models in a reasonable amount of time and making inferences with reduced latency.
The AIaaS-Business models also guarantee a maximum cost-effectiveness: all power is only paid according to its specific use. Together with very high availability or minimum downtimes, these characteristics have made the cloud a natural choice for AI services.
