BoF: "Artificial Intelligence as a Service: Using external APIs or deploying in-house models?"

Session Room
Room 5 (BoF)
Time Slot
Duration
40 min

Speaker: Panagiotis Kaddas (Indigital)

Artificial Intelligence as a Service (AIaaS) offers businesses two primary paths: leveraging external APIs from providers like OpenAI or AWS, or building and deploying proprietary in-house models. External APIs provide rapid integration, lower upfront costs, and scalable infrastructure, while in-house models offer greater customization, data privacy, and long-term control. The right choice depends on factors such as budget, technical expertise, data sensitivity, and the specific use case at hand. Many organizations adopt a hybrid approach, using external APIs for general tasks and in-house models where competitive advantage or compliance demands it.
