For data to qualify as high-quality, it has to be accurate, complete, consistent, and reliable. They are essential for training high-performance AI models that yield accurate results.
This step can include automation components to streamline data collection, processing, and labeling, all of which are essential for obtaining high-quality data. Automation not only speeds up the process but also reduces human errors and bias.
High-quality data can be collected from reliable sources such as:
- Automated pipelines
- IoT devices
- Customer interactions
3. Ensuring Data Privacy and Compliance with Regulations
Adhering to Saudi guidelines and regulations, such as the ones set by SDAIA, NDB, and the National Data Management Office (NDMO), is essential. Not just from a legal standpoint as well as a business standpoint in terms of mitigating data loss and data leaks, as well as building trust with customers and stakeholders.
The main requirements for adhering to these standards are:
- Implementing safeguards on data transfers
- Registering as data controllers
- Minimizing data collection by necessity
- Appointing Data Protection Officers where appropriate
AI Solution Design and Implementation
To maximize business impact, AI solution design starts by identifying high-value use cases. This depends on the business industry, existing operations, target market, and specific goals for its AI enablement initiative.
After the first use case is identified, AI enablement companies start designing a customized AI solution.
This process includes:
- Assessing data readiness and technical feasibility to make sure the required data and infrastructure are available and ready for deployment.
- Launch early-stage pilot projects to validate the design concept and estimate the expected ROI by measuring clear metrics and KPIs.
- The first model is refined to maximize ROI and optimized for cost and resources even after deployment through a feedback loop from users and performance data.
- Scaling AI across the organization by going through the list of predetermined use cases and repeating the same process until AI is embedded into core workflows.
