The Importance of Picking the Right Use Case
Greg Nudelman, Daria Kempka · 2025
This chapter provides a detailed guide for picking the right use case for our artificial intelligence (AI)-driven project—the foundation of our success. The right use cases on which to focus the power of AI were the ones that kept our customers up at night. That key research insight about the right use case made AI-based precision irrigation a viable play for the client and their customers. It is essential to have someone who understands the handful of core AI/machine language (ML) problem settings (classification, regression, etc.) think deeply about the specific customer use case and figure out how to frame the issue as a well-posed AI/ML problem. An exciting development for AI/ML applications is the rise of social science research on how users perceive the outputs of algorithm or model-driven software systems.
