Customer Journeys to AI Success
The AI Uses Cases Taking the World by Storm
For all of its complexity and the deep data science that makes AI possible, seeing it in action can feel like magic. Some of the industries and use cases to watch:
- Video surveillance analysis can require tons of man hours—or, with AI, tons of data. In our recent webinar, a commenter shared how AI is leveraged for their security camera platform to save time and effort. With Pure Storage, this kind of AI-powered analysis of unstructured images can help reduce crime and response time for emergency services.
- Virtual assistants, chatbots, and other improvements to digital accessibility are examples of AI putting people first with enhanced customer experiences. It’s making waves in traditional customer service call center operations, among others.
- AI is improving healthcare and even saving lives by revolutionizing productivity, reducing error, and fast-tracking tedious manual tasks to give providers more time to focus on patients and their care.
- Entertainment has been an early adopter of AI, especially when it comes to video game graphics, sports, XR/VR/AR, animation and VFX, and how digital artists are able to multiply their output with generative AI.
- AI is improving efficiency in organizations—from preventing cyberattacks with rapid anomaly detection to more efficient inventory management, predictive maintenance, and improved demand forecasting. One example: Manufacturer HOPAX embraced artificial intelligence to improve production line systems and quality.
“Pure Storage provides HOPAX with a faster and simpler IT environment, which allows us to invest in an innovative and sustainable digital transformation.” –AARON WANG, CIO, HOPAX CHEMICAL INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD
Considering the Future of AI—and the Responsibility We Carry
AI Appreciation Day is also “a chance to delve into discussions about ethics, privacy, and the responsible use of AI technologies.” By fostering a healthy, informed dialogue and educating both developers and end users, we can ensure that the future of AI will be developed and utilized in an ethical way.
As organizations prepare for the forthcoming EU AI Act, the following resources are helpful starting points to learn more about these issues and how a data storage platform can play an important role:
- Synthetic data is on the rise and could help to de-risk AI by simulating reality and leapfrogging challenges with anonymizing data to avoid privacy concerns.
- Explainable AI (XAI) is a way of designing and building AI systems to provide transparency, interpretability, and explainability along with the desired results, side-stepping the “black box” problem.
- Data ethics is a concept that encompasses all implementations of data, including AI, covering the use of “data in all its phases, including the generation, collection, analysis, and dissemination of it.” Today’s organizations face complex ethical considerations related to the collection, disclosure, and analysis of data, and Pure Storage offers several solutions and capabilities to support an ethical data framework.
- Data retention and deletion policies address what happens to data after it’s been used, including how long it can be stored and how it’s disposed of. Even if you’re using data ethically and responsibly, retention can put your organization at risk. Learn how to create retention and deletion schedules and how Pure Storage can help.
- Data privacy compliance is another big issue, with GDPR compliance transforming how organizations approach data management, storage, governance, and security compliance. Storage platforms can play an important role in compliance.
- AI ethics concerns the biased outcomes that AI can deliver and that there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
