The commercial use of Artificial Intelligence offers tremendous potential to businesses of any shape and size. According to PwC, AI is estimated to add $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. This is too much to ignore - whether you are a small business or not. However, many people – from corporate executives to small business owners – have very little, if any, in-house knowledge to build their own AI applications.
We cannot disregard the technology underneath the hood: Proper AI systems require extensive skill not only in data science but particularly in software engineering and cloud computing. But fear not - there is some good news: A few companies have realized that much of this can be neatly moved into a user-friendly frontend for non-technical people.
We want to give you a small taste of what is already possible today and how it can be realized, without the technical noise that often surrounds this matter.
You don't need to know how to code to build an AI model
Most of us are already using AI in some form every day. Be it a search engine, newsfeed, or your phone's Face ID: There is some degree of intelligence in it and the majority of it is certainly artificial. But although we are all getting used to these interactions, creating a system that uses AI is something that still happens on paper (or PowerPoint slides for that matter).
In a similar fashion, websites could be visited long before the general public could create their own websites. Today, any person can build their own website without a single line of code. Companies like Wix, Jimdo, and WordPress provide users with design templates and guidelines. Instead of writing code, people have to shift around boxes, insert pictures, and write text.
These above-mentioned companies have enabled people to leverage the full potential of technology without extensive technical knowledge. Building websites became available to the masses. Local artisans now operate online shops, and the small hairdresser from around the corner offers online bookings.
What works for websites begins to work for Artificial Intelligence systems as well. Similar to website builders, specialized firms allow people to build their own AI models without code.
What used to be a domain for skilled software developers and hobbyists is starting to become mainstream. And in the same way, as not all websites are built with website builders, we don't claim that all AI systems can be built without code. But we are more than happy to give it a shot!
If you want to get your hands dirty, you can do one of two things: Either directly get started on our platform or dive deeper into the matter first. The following three steps are a good starting point for the latter. Get your data ready for an expository session on the gains of Artificial Intelligence.
