Episode notes
Cloud Versus On-Prem AI
- Choosing cloud versus on-prem for AI depends mainly on data sensitivity and business speed needs.
- Cloud suits fast innovation with risks and costs; on-prem suits sensitive data with more control.
Costs and Speed Trade-offs
- On-premises AI infrastructure involves fixed capital costs but typically slower model training.
- Cloud offers infinite resources and latest models but incurs ongoing operational expense.
Enforce Governance Triad
- Establish a governance triad: security, privacy, and AI teams must collaborate closely.
- Start every AI project with an ethics review, using frameworks like the EU AI Ethics Framework.
