Two key factors are driving the evolution and diversification of the vendor landscape for Artificial Intelligence (AI). Firstly, AI technologies, and the market overall, are at a relatively early stage of development. Meanwhile the development, deployment and operation of AI-enabled solutions is a complex endeavour in which niche specialist capabilities can significantly enhance outcomes, or efficiency. As a result, the market for products, services, and solutions that incorporate artificial AI capabilities has grown in complexity in recent years.
Transforma Insights has developed an ‘AI Market Framework’ which captures the different types of vendors present in today’s AI market. The framework spans three main aspects of AI: Services, Hardware, and Context. Each of these aspects is further divided into a number of functions, which are themselves split into vendor types.
This report presents the Transforma Insights AI Market Framework and provides a definition of each vendor type included within it, along with examples of leading vendors for each vendor type.
