"Verma (IBM Watson Research Center) aims to explain federated AI from the perspective of the business analyst who is neither programmer nor statistician, yet faces real-world system requirements in planning an AI implementation. Verma defines the federated AI method as a way of determining business processes through AI models derived by software-driven analyses of pertinent data, where the analyzed data is siloed across disparate systems. He recommends a LEARN > INFER > ACT cycle to the practitioner and distinguishes between federated learning and federated inference, as the actual federation step may occur during either the LEARN or INFER modules of the cycle. Verma is thorough in describing the problem-solving issues which may arise when planning a federated AI implementation."
