9.3.3. Scalability and Real-Time Performance

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does scalability refer to in AI?

   Hint

   Think about how systems manage growth.

2. 2.

   Why is real-time processing critical for AI applications?

   Hint

   Consider examples like autonomous vehicles.

3. 3.

   What is the primary purpose of distributed AI systems?

   • To increase data quality
   • To manage larger workloads
   • To decrease costs

   Hint

   Think about why we use multiple servers.

4. 4.

   True or False? Real-time performance does not require specialized hardware.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Recall examples of hardware used in time-sensitive tasks.

5. 5.

   Design a concept for a distributed AI system to help manage traffic flow in a city. What hardware would you choose, and how would you ensure real-time processing?

   Hint

   Think about how data flows and what delays might occur.

6. 6.

   Analyze the trade-offs involved in implementing specialized hardware for a newly developed AI diagnostic tool in healthcare. Discuss costs vs. accuracy.

   Hint

   Consider the impact on patient outcomes versus budget limitations.
