In plain English
Cloud AI comes in three kinds: ready-made services, managed foundation models and build-your-own platforms. Pick the easiest kind that does the job. AWS, Azure and Google Cloud each offer all three, under different names. Security is shared with the provider.
- Foundation model
- A large model that can do many tasks, used through a service.
- Ready-made service
- A service that does one job with no AI skills needed.
- Shared responsibility
- The provider secures the platform and you secure your data and settings.
