COLLECTION 04 / 4 RELATED ARTICLES
AI, Machine Learning & Data Science
AI architecture, engineering, evaluation and the data behind useful automation.

An illustrative Inland Empire workflow
In an illustrative Riverside service desk, AI could draft a ticket summary for a technician. Measure whether it preserves the reported symptoms and avoids invented actions before expanding its role. The same evaluation discipline applies to a Yucaipa team organizing customer inquiries.
UNDERSTAND THE RESPONSIBILITIES
The roles behind the work.
Titles vary between organizations, and one person may cover several responsibilities. Use these perspectives to understand the handoffs and ask more precise questions.
AI engineer
Connects models to applications, implements retrieval or tool use when needed, and measures behavior in the working system.
Machine learning engineer
Builds and operates model training or inference workflows, including deployment, monitoring and changes in data or performance.
Data scientist
Uses statistical analysis and experiments to investigate questions and evaluate whether a model or finding is useful.
AWS distinguishes scientific analysis from the engineering needed to make data usable. In a business application, those responsibilities meet at data quality, evaluation and repeatable operation. AWS: data science and its relationship to data engineering ↗
