In previous articles, we talked about developing concrete AI use cases for your organization and how to kick off your first AI pilot project. The next step? Evolving your artificial intelligence (AI) experiment from a science project into a full-fledged production AI application.

There are a lot of factors to consider in this process, but it's important to remember that all this AI stuff is still software. The skills and disciplines you and your teams have developed over the years will all come to bear in this new era of AI, with a few new factors thrown in to keep things exciting.

It's also important to remember that the strengths that open source brings to software development also apply to AI. At Red Hat we believe that open source is critical to the future of AI for reasons of speed, safety, security, inclusion, democratization, flexibility and more.

With that in mind, here we've collected 11 resources that can help you build a solid foundation for your existing and future generative AI (gen AI) applications and experiments.

1. Get started with AI for enterprise: A beginner’s guide

Whether you’re just getting started with your AI journey, looking to understand more about the impact AI will have on your business or figuring out how to scale your existing AI implementations, this e-book aims to answer many of the questions you may have about AI today.

In it you'll discover:

  • The differences between predictive AI and gen AI
  • A variety of concrete use cases for AI in your organization
  • How to choose the right AI model for different applications
  • Why model tuning can often be more effective (and efficient!) than model building
  • A step-by-step methodology for getting started with AI
  • How Red Hat can help you along the way

2. Top considerations for building a foundation for generative AI

We all recognize that gen AI is enabling new forms of innovation and optimization, reshaping human-machine collaboration and inspiring new approaches to problem solving and knowledge generation. Of course, as with all new technologies, there are emerging concerns that need to be understood and addressed, including issues related to data privacy, data ownership, biases, explainability and more.

This e-book discusses many of these topics, and includes chapters about:

  • Exploring new possibilities for business innovation
  • Considerations for building a foundation for gen AI
  • Innovating more quickly with a flexible open foundation

It also outlines some of the things you should look for in an AI platform to help mitigate potential issues and to simplify AI adoption and development.

3. Why open source is critical to the future of AI

At Red Hat we believe that since everyone can benefit from AI, everyone should also be able to contribute to its development and direction. AI shouldn't be owned and controlled exclusively by a small number of powerful corporations—it needs to be open, accessible and democratized.

To help make this vision a reality, we are applying our decades of open source experience to the development of AI tools and frameworks that will allow everyone to contribute to—and benefit from—AI while also helping shape its future and evolution. In this article we go over the many reasons why we believe open source is absolutely fundamental to the future of AI.

In this e-book you'll explore Red Hat OpenShift AI from a developer's perspective, including essential open source tools like Jupyter Notebooks, PyTorch and advanced monitoring and observability features. MLOps, CI/CD workflows, and building generative and predictive AI applications are also covered, followed by some real-world AI use cases.

Chapters include:

  • Open source and AI: A transformative combination
  • Plan your development journey
  • Build innovative AI-based applications
  • Adopt advanced tools and technologies for AI
  • Ready, set, develop: Start building AI-enabled applications

5. Simplify AI adoption for faster time to value

While it's increasingly easy for organizations to start experimenting with the power of AI, turning those experiments into business value remains challenging, and the separation between AI teams, developers and IT can create additional delays. Success demands treating AI development as a continuous process, seamlessly integrating machine learning operations (MLOps) with existing developer operations (DevOps) practices.

Learn how Red Hat can help your organization achieve its AI goals with Red Hat AI -- our modular, composable AI platform for building, training, tuning, serving, deploying, monitoring and managing your AI workloads.

7. Operationalizing AI with containerized environments, CI pipelines, and model servers

AI is everywhere these days, rapidly changing the future of technology. But behind the scenes, these powerful tools come with challenges—especially when it comes to developing and deploying AI models, integrating them into real-world systems and managing the infrastructure needed to train and run them. Even veteran developers and data scientists can hit roadblocks when moving from experimentation to production.

That’s where MLOps comes in. In this presentation, Jaime Ramírez Castillo breaks down how applying DevOps principles to AI can streamline machine learning workflows, making them more efficient, scalable and reliable. He demonstrates how OpenShift AI provides a hybrid cloud-enabled platform you can use to automate, optimize, manage and deploy your AI models and applications.

Here’s what Castillo covers:

  • Model training made simple—Use pre-configured, containerized environments to get started quickly
  • Automation at its best—Leverage data science pipelines to streamline the training process
  • Streamlined deployment—Move from model development to production with confidence

If you want to take your AI/ML projects to the next level—faster, smarter and with less hassle—this session is for you!
