AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) belongs to the fields of artificial intelligence, digital transformation and automation. The term describes the possibility of using artificial intelligence easily via the internet without having to buy expensive software or hardware. Companies therefore rent artificial intelligence in a similar way to an online service.
With AI-as-a-Service, for example, companies can access ready-made AI tools to automatically analyse texts, recognise images or evaluate customer data. This lowers the barriers to entry, saves costs and also allows small companies to benefit from modern AI technologies.
An illustrative example: an online shop wants to improve customer satisfaction by automatically checking product reviews for positive or negative sentiment. Instead of developing its own AI, the shop uses an AIaaS provider that provides this service around the clock. The provider takes care of maintenance, updates and computing power - the shop only pays a monthly fee.
AI-as-a-Service makes modern artificial intelligence accessible to many companies, supports efficient processes and promotes digital transformation.
