Basically, artificial intelligence has been developed to replicate human intelligence—the aim is to emulate the human brain, make informed human decisions & predict outcomes, based on data.
So, if AI is patterned on the human brain, why do we need it, why can’t we simply employ humans to do the tasks? The reason is that many decisions, responses & reactions in business, health, education & many other fields, rely on very large sets of data or information, which is far easier for a machine to “memorize” than it is for a human. That being said, the reactions & capabilities of AI are not, at least at this point in time, human-like. AI is still in its infancy but machine learning, natural language processing & other subsets of AI are producing phenomenal results.
The thing is that not all AI models are created equal. Some are better than others, so it’s difficult for consumers to identify the best product for their needs. Modzy, a company based in the US, aims to offer answers to consumers’ needs—it has set up an AI marketplace which allows potential users to find the best fit for their needs. Modzy has launched an enterprise software product that offers choice, speed, scale, & security to accelerate AI adoption.
Modzy features 2 main components: a secure platform & repository that allows you to store, run & govern your own AI models or access ready-to-deploy mode AI models.
One of the biggest issues with AI is what is known as the “Black Box Problem”. This refers to the lack of trust humans have in the inner workings of certain AI models—basically we can see the ‘question’ or input data feed to the model, & the ‘answer’ or output, but the ‘reasoning’ remains obscure causing instant distrust. Modzy, being aware of this fallibility, insures that all the models on their platform adhere to the ‘Explainable’ or transparent type, rather than the Black Box type, which offers consumers peace of mind, & a product that their customers will, at least ultimately, trust.
All AI models in the Modzy AI Market Place have been vetted by the company before addition. Each tool has its own page, informing potential users about the intricacies of the model so that potential consumers can choose the best product for their needs. Modzy provides pre-trained & retrainable AI models from leading machine learning companies & open source communities across a range of AI functions such as computer vision, natural language processing, etc.
Modzy offers built in security, explainability, opportunity to scale, Adversarial Defense (patent-pending technology that detects data poisoning & efforts to tamper with models), model retraining (pre-trained models might not provide the correct solution so users can retrain models in the marketplace to work as expected) & governance (logging & auditing to track users as well as centralized model management).
Modzy is aimed at developers, analysts & data scientists from all spheres of business. They offer a demo of their product, so if this looks like something your company could use successfully, check out its Website.
