Support for all stages on your AI journey
AI adoption support framework
The AI Adoption Framework is designed to assist you in navigating the complex journey of adopting AI. Based on extensive research, it identifies four key phases, helping you align resources and find the right support within the BridgeAI community. This framework will help you pinpoint where you are in the AI adoption process and connect you with the best resources and tools to succeed.
Strategy
The initial stage for deployers to consider their AI solution objectives and strategy, including to reflect whether AI is the right solution for their needs.
Data
For both developers and deployers to start collating the necessary data to train and test an AI model. This stage covers a host of data challenges.
Build
Understanding how to develop safe, secure & trustworthy models with a focus on using testing and training data, and managing bias and transparency.
Implement
Model deployment and maintenance, to ensure ongoing confidence in the outcomes. Looking at necessary model improvements and to enable scaling up.
