Implications of AI in Cloud Provider Marketplaces

AI and machine learning (ML) have become common offerings in cloud provider marketplaces, providing an accessible and cost-effective solution for businesses. Cloud providers offer their own native AI services, but cross-cloud solutions are preferred for their ability to operate across different providers. This trend benefits cloud providers immensely as they see increased consumption of storage, compute, and AI services. However, the misapplication of AI technology remains a concern. There is a tendency to overemphasize the value of AI without considering its correct application and business viability.
