A great number of AI use cases can be achieved with off-the-shelf AI tools, some of which may already be built into the software your organization uses on the day-to-day. Building more custom AI solutions is a big undertaking — and not a one and done undertaking at that; like any digital system, they require maintenance. Whenever possible, organizations should explore how to leverage what already exists, only embarking on a custom solution when tackling something truly unique to your organization and its mission. This module will shed light on how to make that decision between building vs. buying an off-the-shelf solution.
