following AI trends without a strategic, long-term focus on value creation.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Companies must understand their realistic, viable use cases for deploying AI applications and ensure access to clean, quality data to avoid exorbitant computing costs.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">To cut wasteful AI spending, businesses should prioritize initiatives offering higher ROI, utilize cloud cost management tools, leverage open-source components, and explore pricing models beyond traditional pay-as-you-go.<\/li>\n<li

Powerful AI hardware.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of this are advanced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/24862\/graphics-processing-unit-gpu\">Graphical Processing Units<\/a> (GPUs), which have become the go-to hardware for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/33181\/training-data\">training and running AI models<\/a>. The GPU market has witnessed remarkable growth, with key players like Nvidia, Intel, and AMD leading the charge. Nvidia has seen its stock price skyrocket in the past year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/nvidia-earnings-analyst-nvda-stock-forecasts\">going from around $200 to $853 per share<\/a> at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>This rise is a testament to the insatiable demand for AI chips, which are used by AI chatbots like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/34933\/chatgpt\">ChatGPT<\/a> and major tech firms such as Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>However, industry experts caution that the hype around AI hardware may be outpacing the reality.

Limiting data sprawl and ensuring that models are being trained on clean data is paramount to avoid astronomical computing costs.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The above sentiment aligned with <b>Arthur Delerue, founder and CEO at <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/kwatch.io\" target=\"_blank\"><b>KWatch.io<\/b><\/a>, who discussed cloud and AI investment challenges with Techopedia.<\/p>\n<p>He said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/34633\/generative-ai\">generative AI<\/a> in our product, and we are extremely careful about the infrastructure costs.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt is tempting to go \u2018all-in\u2019 in generative AI as it is easy to come up with impressive proofs of concepts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBut then scaling up an AI-based application from a couple of requests to millions of requests can be extremely challenging from a cost standpoint.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo our advice is this: do the math at the very beginning of your project in order to understand if your AI-based product can be profitable.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"how_can_businesses_strategize_their_ai_spending_to_stop_waste\">How Can Businesses Strategize Their AI Spending to Stop Waste?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To cut waste on AI spending, <b>Alok Shankar,<\/b> <b>Software Development Manager at <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Oracle<\/b><\/a>, calls on businesses to place higher premium on AI initiatives that can yield higher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/return-on-investment-roi\">returns on investment<\/a> (ROI).<\/p>\n<p>He told Techopedia:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBusinesses can prioritize initiatives that offer higher ROI. There should be clear focus on business needs and metrics definitions to measure success. Cloud cost management tools and strategies that use cheaper spot instances for less power-hungry applications can be helpful. Using open-source tools and components can also be useful for cost-saving measures.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Shankar also noted the need for businesses to explore pricing methods beyond the traditional pricing models.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCloud vendors are usually open to negotiating prices for larger customers with compute-intensive workloads. However, newer cloud pricing models beyond traditional pay-as-you-go structures could be beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTypically reserved instances work well for such needs. Edge AI cloud infrastructures that do not move a lot of data can be priced differently and cheaper,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Chief AI Officer at <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/complycontrol.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Comply Control<\/b><\/a><b>, Mikhail Dunaev<\/b>, chides businesses against skimping on servers for AI.<\/p>\n<p>He told Techopedia:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn today&#8217;s technological race, being current is critical, and falling behind is all too easy. You should focus all your efforts on development, anticipating that cloud prices for generative AI will gradually decrease.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFor smaller companies, it&#8217;s often more practical to use available models via API rather than maintaining heavy models on their own clouds. Here, you pay for the use of AI resources (pay-per-resource) rather than for powerful servers. This approach makes cost prediction easier and eliminates concerns about updates.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"the_bottom_line\">The Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While heavy investments in AI-driven cloud infrastructure have fueled innovation and propelled AI capabilities, it has also pointed out the need for more strategic and sustainable approaches to AI investments.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to avoid following trends blindly or making hasty decisions driven by fear of missing out. Instead, emphasize the importance of aligning investments with long-term business objectives, carefully evaluating the true return on investment.<\/p>\n<p>This will require a critical assessment of AI needs, identifying areas of overspending and potential cost savings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tech industry is still abuzz with the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), and it&#8217;s not just the technology itself that&#8217;s making waves.
