An Introduction to Supporting AI Workloads in the Cloud: Hardware Infrastructure and Other Complexities in the Cloud Environment
Building and managing hardware infrastructure in the Cloud plays a critical role in the development of AI training models. It provides the essential resources needed to handle the complexity, scale, and computational demands of these workloads.
In this session, we will provide an overview on the hardware infrastructure that powers AI training models and the challenges that arise within the Cloud environment. The discussion will begin from building the infrastructure to generating the model, and finally, to the creation of business value.
The complimentary series on AI will be recorded for on demand access. Please register (to attend or to get link to recorded version)

Overall series
The IEEE AI Coalition has organized a series of live webinars centered around the various topics of AI. Each webinar is composed of expert speakers that may cover both the technical aspects of AI as well as socio-economic, ethical, legal, and other implications with AI.
The IEEE AI Coalition is a collective of representatives from across IEEE who have come together with a shared purpose: to consolidate all of IEEE’s AI content into a cohesive platform and foster a robust network for AI-related resources. Our mission encompasses three key objectives:
Classify and Index AI Work: We diligently organize and categorize AI-related work from across IEEE, ensuring that it is accessible in one centralized area. By doing so, we aim to bridge any gaps and facilitate seamless exploration of AI research, applications, and insights.
Enhancing IEEE Services with AI: We explore how artificial intelligence can enhance the services provided by IEEE. Whether it’s optimizing processes, improving member experiences, or advancing technical publications, we strive to leverage AI effectively.
Long-Term Vision: The AI Coalition is committed to developing a forward-thinking, long-term vision for the integration of AI within IEEE. We envision a future where AI-driven innovations empower our members, drive societal progress, and shape the technological landscape.
Join us on this transformative journey as we unlock the potential of AI within IEEE and the world!
