Artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing can be combined to provide intelligence capabilities in the cloud. AI involves activities like speech recognition, learning, and problem solving by learning from data. Machine learning algorithms are used for tasks like detecting spam emails and recommending apps. Cloud computing provides on-demand access to virtual computing resources like storage, networking, and software via models like Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). When combined, AI and cloud computing allow for remote access to intelligence through examples like IBM Watson's SaaS offering and the large AI framework TensorFlow.
