Many existing social innovation projects and organizations can be analyzed based on their evolution stage, from early visioning and experimentation to proven solutions operating at larger scales. For social innovation to succeed and grow, key factors include attracting talented individuals, measuring social impact, collaboration across sectors, and government support through dedicated policies and funding.

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?

On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
