As a trending technology, AI has become a crucial part of various business organizations and industries. According to statistics, the global AI market value will likely reach $190.61 billion by 2025. This alone shows the immense reach of this technology throughout the globe. However, with the cloud, AI is setting the stage for higher efficiency, flexibility, and strategic insight for enterprises.

Often termed as AI Cloud or Cloud AI, it combines machine learning capabilities of artificial intelligence with already established cloud-based computing environments. In 2020, the Cloud AI Market was valued at $5.2 billion, which is expected to reach $13.1 billion by 2026. Moreover, Gartner predicts that by 2023, cloud-based AI will increase 5X from 2019, making AI one of the top cloud services.

With so much happening already in the AI Cloud space, let’s look at some of the major ways AI will influence the cloud landscape in the coming year.

AI Cloud Trends for Businesses to Look Out for in 2022

The Rise in AI-Powered Cloud Apps

  • Cloud’s affordability will make it possible to democratize AI and enable businesses of all sizes to create supercomputer-powered apps.

Intelligent Virtual Assistants

  • By leveraging AI in the cloud, virtual assistants will become better at deciphering human language.
  • More businesses will use these automated chatbots for customer service conversations.

Artificial Intelligence Meets IoT: AIOT

  • Since the cloud facilitates processing power and data bandwidth for machine learning models, IoT devices will leverage AI to become truly intelligent machines capable of intelligent decision-making.
