Is Artificial Intelligence for Infrastructure and Operations really just Intelligent Automation?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools have the potential to revolutionize IT infrastructure and operations (ITOps) by automating routine tasks, enhancing system reliability, and improving efficiency. However, the term “Artificial Intelligence” can sometimes be misleading in this context. A more accurate description might be “Automated Intelligence” because these tools often automate predefined tasks and processes rather than exhibit true cognitive intelligence.

The Third Principle of AI by Design: Transparency and Trust

This is the 3rd article in our Orange Matter series on AI by Design IT professionals must trust their tools. When it comes to artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, trust is built on several factors, such as the adoption of privacy and security practices and safeguards against algorithmic bias. In this article, we explore the third principle of our AI by Design framework and discuss how SolarWinds navigates transparency challenges to cultivate user trust in our AI systems.
