Key Challenges at the Initial Phase

"In many companies, people either underestimate or overestimate AI/ML usage. Because of that, they are not able to get quick and true benefits of AI within organizational constraints.

At the same time, young and newly AI educated community blindly use Machine Learning APIs without understanding the core business problems, expectations, and effectiveness of a particular algorithm", Ram Dayal elaborates.

"In Non-IT companies, the availability of relevant data was a big problem because sensors' and other important data was rarely stored" he added.

Ram Dayal and his team handled the above problems by educating people about collecting data, fundamental capabilities, constraints and efficient implementation of AI/ML in an easier way so that they can feel well connected with engineering teams. This has caused a big gain to clients' confidence and overall speed of progress in innovation. 

Clientele

Currently, the target audience includes startups, mid and large size organization for its consulting service described in the following way

IT companies:

 The company calls them information processing organizations. RNS Labs caters its consultancy for the efficient and effective realization of AI/ML algorithms for intelligent data clustering, classification, search, deduplication, mining, etc. for their respective business needs

A Glimpse in Artificial Intelligence

Ram Dayal describes, "AI is the capability of a machine to assist human-being at least as much as a normally trained human-assistant."

Further, he says, "Artificial Intelligence is way beyond just calling training/validation API of Python libraries. It depends on how we perceive a problem and solve it. In other words – it is just another 'Computational Paradigm' and not magic".

Developing Factors of AI 

Artificial Intelligence has been there since early 1950, it has extensively been used across all high applications worldwide since then. But an explosive growth happened in the last couple of years due to the following factors:

• The explosion in the online source of related educational content with free access

• Open source and free libraries related to AI computations

• Cheap computing power

• Disruptive innovations in organizations

• Availability and easy management of large data

People's Perspective about AI

A class of people takes it to the fancy and imaginary realm of science fiction. But Ram Dayal talks about the community thinking in true realization within constraints:

• Breaking language bars of hundreds of languages across the world

• Automation of all mundane and dangerous tasks

• Advancement in Computer Vision – a human level scene interpretation – applied mostly in autonomous driving and manufacturing

• A very fast and proactive prediction of business outcome across all domains

Future Plans

In the product aspect, the team is planning to focus on real core research on the products at present. Besides, the company will develop a few home-grown AI tools which will help while consulting the clients in a better and faster way to reap the fruits of AI.

Feathers in the Hat of RNS Labs
