Buy or Build AI?

How do you decide whether to buy a ready-made AI solution or build one from the ground up? The choice is more than just a technical decision; it’s about aligning AI with your business goals. In this episode, Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham are joined by Principal Instructor Yunus Mohammed to examine the critical factors influencing the buy vs. build debate. They explore real-world examples where businesses must weigh speed, customization, and long-term strategy. From a startup using a SaaS chatbot to a bank developing a custom fraud detection model, Yunus provides practical insights on when to choose one approach over the other.
