The application of AI to a vast variety of practical applications is transforming the enterprises across every industry. However, only a small proportion of businesses have the skills and experience needed to build and manage latest machine learning and deep learning models from scratch, and the demand for such skills far exceeds the supply.

Ruchir Puri discusses the next revolution in automating AI, which strives to deploy AI to automate the task of building, deploying, and managing AI tasks, accelerating enterprises’ journey to AI.
