• Research and Technology Evaluation: Research emerging AI technologies, models, frameworks, and tools relevant to internal business use. Evaluate and recommend AI platforms, services, and vendors based on capability, security, cost, and maintainability. Balance innovation with operational stability and long-term support considerations.
• Cost Management and Forecasting: Track and analyze costs associated with AI tools and platforms, including usage-based services, infrastructure, and third-party solutions.
