Motivation

Enterprise grade hardware (including Graphical Processing Units) for Artificial Intelligence operations are scarce.  Significant effort and capital seek to expand access.  However, even when access expands significantly, a variety of use cases will constrain AI activities to less powerful hardware.  For example:

Companies grow nonlinearly and respond to disruption primarily through innovative efforts.  Innovative efforts require diverse resources--primarily talent and various types of funding.  An innovative effort lacking any one required resource will fail.  When companies divide management of those required resources among various managers, any one manager can stop any particular innovative effort.  And if all innovative efforts receive all but one necessary resource, even if each effort fails to obtain something different, no innovation will take place.
