Communities

As well as online blogs and infrastructure to support our local Chapters, Full Members can also host or access topic and knowledge communities with others by invitation.

Repeatability

AI should not be treated as a “build it and forget it” solution. Architectures in AI are a holistic fusion between what an organization does well, and how probabilistic technical solutions can benefit their end users and customers. We have accomplished our vision if organizations of all sizes and various industries are able to adapt the same frameworks to their particular needs successfully.

Scalability

Organizations should be able to build off of small, iterative successes in AI architectures with more projects that fit an unfilled niche. Only if these architectures are seen as a sustainable and intrinsic advantage to the Enterprise Architecture will their true potential be realized.
