In the previous blogs, we have listed a series of behaviors that we expect AI solutions to demonstrate. We have also discussed a use case – last mile delivery prediction/optimization.
In the final blog of the series, we share a checklist that can help determine if a solution can be considered an AI solution.
- Behavioral Traits: Evaluate whether the solution exhibits key behavioral traits associated with AI, such as pattern recognition, adaptability, learnability, communication, decision-making, sensing, credibility, memorization, scalability, interpretation, rationality, and problem-solving. Assess if the solution demonstrates capabilities aligned with these traits.
- Data-Driven Approach: Does the solution rely on data analysis and processing to generate insights, make predictions, or optimize outcomes? AI solutions typically leverage large volumes of data and employ algorithms to extract meaningful information.
- Automation and Autonomy: Can it operate autonomously or with minimal human intervention? AI solutions are designed to perform tasks and make decisions without constant human guidance.
- Learning and Improvement: Assess whether it can learn from experience or feedback to improve its performance over time. AI systems often have the ability to refine their models or algorithms based on new data or user interactions.
- Adaptation to New Scenarios: Will it adapt and handle novel or changing situations? AI solutions should demonstrate the capability to adjust their behavior or strategies in response to new challenges or environments.
- Expertise Integration: Evaluate if the solution can incorporate expert knowledge or domain-specific expertise. AI solutions often have the capacity to leverage human expertise to enhance their capabilities or decision-making processes.
- Complexity Handling: Can it handle complex problems or tasks that would typically require human intelligence? AI solutions are designed to tackle intricate tasks, process vast amounts of information, and generate insights beyond traditional computing capabilities.
- Performance Comparison: Compare the solution’s performance with traditional approaches or non-AI methods. AI solutions often outperform or offer distinct advantages over conventional approaches in terms of accuracy, efficiency, or flexibility.
- Industry Recognition: Is it recognized and categorized as an AI solution by industry experts, researchers, or practitioners. Review how the solution is described or classified in relevant literature, conferences, or industry reports.
- AI Techniques and Algorithms: Can the solution employ AI-specific techniques, algorithms, or methodologies such as machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, or reinforcement learning? These techniques are often associated with AI solutions.
It is essential to bear in mind that this checklist serves as a set of broad guidelines, and the criteria may vary based on the specific domain, context, and level of AI sophistication required. When evaluating whether a solution qualifies as an AI solution, it is highly recommended to consult domain experts. At Cognida.ai we can provide valuable insights and ensure an accurate assessment of the solution.
