As AI becomes more accessible, a growing question is: should machine learning experts always be the ones training models, or is there a better way to leverage other subject matter experts in the business who know the use-case best? What if getting started building AI apps required no coding skills? As businesses look to implement AI at scale, what part can no-code AI apps play in getting projects off the ground, and how feasible are smaller, tailored solutions for department specific use-cases?
