Ask HN: Is it worth the investment to have AI/ML at production level?

2 points by GroupsOne ↗ HN
Lots of AI/ML floating across the world. Is it really worth to invest in AI/ML technologies at the level of production ? Does the ROI and effort worth it ? Any real world examples would help me out.

I don't understand this question. There's nowhere near eough information to even begin giving any kind of meaningful answer. With a question this vague, all you're going to get are platitudes, random anecdotes, etc.

What kind of problem are you trying to solve? In what kind of organization? What do you mean by "AI" and "ML" respectively? What is "production level" to you? And so on.

For some people, production level machine learning is doing linear regression in OpenOffice Calc. For others it's hand-written C code using MPI on a 1000 node cluster with Infiniband interconnects, and the works. What makes sense for you would depend on the problem, the potential value of solving that problem, and the available resources.
