A brief history of AI democratization

‍The AI world is like a game of Tetris, you never know what's coming next. But these days, it's more likely to be a solid block than a gap. Thanks to advances in machine and deep learning algorithms, the availability of oceans of data, and the high computing power offered by cloud services like Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services, AI has come a long way, baby.

AI recipe = data + algorithms + computing power

Gone are the days of AI models that were as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Today's AI models are like a Transformer toys, they can do just about anything. They can process natural language like pro, identify objects in images and videos like they're playing a game of "Where's Waldo", and even generate realistic-looking images or videos themselves, it's like they're the next Monet.

The progress of AI can be attributed to the development of advanced machine learning algorithms, like deep learning, which has enabled the creation of neural networks that can learn and improve on their own. This has led to the development of models that can process and analyze vast amounts of data, making it possible to identify patterns and insights previously impossible to uncover.

The availability of data has also played a crucial role in the progress of AI. With the rise of the internet and the proliferation of connected devices, data is being generated at an unprecedented rate. This data, when properly collected and labeled, can be used to train AI models and make them even more accurate and valuable.

However, despite the progress of AI, it remained only accessible to big companies and people highly skilled in Machine Learning and statistics who had the resources and knowledge to master the intricacies of AI. But thanks to AI APIs, everyone can now use advanced AI models.

APIs or application programming interfaces make AI easy as pie. They act as gatekeepers, simplifying the complex processes of building and training AI models so that even those with minimal technical knowledge can utilize them. But with so many different AI APIs out there to choose from, it can be overwhelming for the average person to navigate, like trying to find your way out of a maze.

AI of the people, by the people, for the people

That's where Eden AI comes in. Eden AI has done the legwork of aggregating all the best AI APIs out there, so you don't have to, like having a GPS for your AI journey. With Eden AI, you can easily access a wide range of AI models, from natural language processing to image recognition, with just a few clicks, like ordering takeout from your favorite restaurant.

And that's not all, Eden AI also works on AI accessibility by providing multiple connectors on different platforms, as the No Code platform Make. This means that even if you don't have any coding skills, you can still harness the power of AI and automate tasks, or get insights from your data, by using a simple drag-and-drop interface.
