A recent Wipro report found that cloud infrastructure is crucial for AI innovation, as it provides access to advanced capabilities required for AI models. The report surveyed 500 senior executives and decision-makers across North America and Europe, finding that 65% are implementing AI capabilities through a combination of public cloud and on-premises infrastructure. However, using the cloud might not be possible for real-time use cases like autonomous driving, where edge computing is required.
The report highlights the importance of building a high-performance infrastructure centered on cloud services, as AI requires significant data management and processing power. While a hybrid environment provides flexibility, it can also cause complexity, with 70% of leaders surveyed saying that orchestrating AI technology across a mix of infrastructure is a challenge.
The report also notes that infrastructure costs are a significant concern for many enterprises, with 28% of leaders not confident that they can measure the ROI of their AI implementation. Wipro suggests that organizations should think strategically and measure returns beyond a three-year timeframe. Overall, the report emphasizes the need for enterprises to rethink their infrastructure to be AI-ready.
