Our take
Faculty work with companies such as Samsung, the BBC, and Just Eat to figure out what they could do with AI, and then help them to do it through implementing the right skills, strategy and software.
The team have developed a platform with large cloud computing space for accessing large amounts of data usable to design and test AI models. As businesses realise the importance of using data to drive growth and stay competitive, Faculty have focused on making AI real through real world deployments and aim provide data to organisations so that they can make better decisions.
Faculty has worked with clients in a range of different industries, including healthcare, retail, government and energy. They are just one of the many companies utilising AI, but it’s their ability to work alongside organisations and apply the findings that will really help them to succeed.
