 DATA

Infrastructure
Framework

Faced by AI Researchers
& Startups
20
 It’s all about data
• Where to get useful, accurate and curated data?
• Data ownership and privacy
• How to differentiate your AI technology, products and applications in the
market place?

21
• Choosing the right AI infrastructure framework
• How would future applications be affected?
• Impact on application flexibility, e.g. new AI engines, data platforms,
cloud services, etc.
• What if the services are discontinued?
• Can growth be affected by trade restriction? E.g. Android

22
• Quick development vs intellectual properties development
• Research needs freedom to continue their research
• Startups needs to convince investor that they have useful IP assets

23
• How to convince users to trust your AI application?
• How much trust can you put on your AI prediction?
• Responsibility , liability and Regulatory
