What to consider: AI & Machine Learning

  • Start with a ready-made model or API before training your own; it is faster and usually cheaper.
  • Keep personal and confidential data out of prompts unless your setup guarantees how it is stored and used.
  • Measure quality on your own examples and set usage limits so costs cannot run away.
