Private vs public AI: Which should your business use in 2025?

Chris Folkerd, our Director of Core Infrastructure explores the differences between private and public AI, the key benefits and downsides of private AI, future trends, and how to get started with a hybrid AI approach. 

AI is not a one size fits all solution – there are different types of AI to consider, and steps to take to lay the groundwork for successful AI adoption. In fact, the AI industry value is projected to increase by over 13 times over the next six years due to the ever increasing advancements in this space. Two of these variations are private and public AI – both with their own set of capabilities and drawbacks.  

Public AI operates on hyper scale cloud-based platforms and tends to be accessible to multiple users and businesses. Private AI, on the other hand, is tailored and confined to a specific organisation. 

Another option is a hybrid approach to AI, which could offer the best of both worlds for businesses -enabling them to effectively leverage AI technologies, harnessing the power of both private and public AI to drive innovation, enhance performance, and maintain a competitive edge.
