The fully managed AI Feature Store platform allows users to enroll, store, update, discover, use, and share within highly curated, authenticated, and model-ready AT&T historical and real-time features (attributes derived from raw data that predict an outcome such as disruption, purchase probability, expected demand, etc.) Collected from across AT&T.
Conventional wisdom suggests that data scientists and machine learning (ML) experts spend about 80% of their time creating, preparing, and classifying data. This leaves only 20% of their time for the important tasks of analyzing and interacting with data to solve real-world business problems. The AI feature store reverses this time collapse.
In its first year of launch, the co-developed AI Feature Store addressed the complexity of data quality requirements by providing a central repository that bridges information across disparate systems to bring all of an enterprise’s data assets together in one place. The AI Feature Store plays a key role in AI governance by ensuring that the right kind of data is only accessible to the right people and taking care of sensitive data such as PII or SPI with encryption, data masking and other technologies.
“The offshore version we developed with H2O.ai can help other companies embark on their own AI transformations, even as the challenges they face accelerate,” Marcus said. Accelerating speed to market gives AT&T some of the most advanced AI and CDO departments in the entire country. The team was awarded first place by H2O.ai during the conference, which indicated their strong AI programme.
