Research Question- How Artificial Intelligence and Neural networks are motivating the business culture in the digital business platform ecosystem and how it responds on the business model framework to accomplish continuous value formation.
In this paper we are trying to explore the solutions of these questions which is the need of the times.
Most of the work has been done in business model and its associate applications but there is very less work has been done in the area of AI business model framework. We are trying to fill the gap of the issues in this article. The most recent start-ups and digital platform like Google, Ola, Airbnb, BYJU’S, Uber, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, eBay, Alibaba, Escty, PayPal, Myntraetc have the AI business technology for their business [88, 90, 101]. They are all platforms’ businesses! The success of these envied companies has made the platform business model the sanctified grail of AI business models [88, 94, 122].Before probing how artificial intelligence technologies are affecting the business ecosphere, it's important to define the term. "Artificial intelligence" is a broad and general term that states to any type of computer software that involves in humanlike activities, including learning, planning and problem-solving. Calling specific applications "artificial intelligence" is like calling a 2013 Honda Accord a "vehicle" – it's technically correct, but it doesn't cover any of the specifics. The artificial intelligence is predominant in business, for better understanding we have to think deeper inside [116].
We understand that businesses need to craft evocative understandings for their consumers. Experiences that are enjoyable and amalgamated across all the networks [95]. A digital platform strategy and its business model with applied intelligence aims to enter the online business market by focusing and consenting one section of contributors to help from the incidence or communication and collaboration of others. Conventionally, it is made-up that customers can regulate their inclination to pay for a service or creation self-sufficiently [4]. Nevertheless, Artificial Intelligence Business Platforms (AIPM) model can breakdown this assumption as the participation of a user segment on the platform is interdependent on user choices and its dynamics of data [89, 123]. Recently, Google patented his business marketing as Pay-per-gaze [67, 89, 91]. In this patented AI business model Google plans for eye tracking sensor technology [90]. It gives the idea to reveal some far-reaching plans for the eye-tracking sensor that involves charging advertisers if the user looks at an ad — online or offline — while wearing Google Glass [89]. It exists in the Google business model — but currently isn’t formally used — on Google Glass [94]. In the patent, Google is calling it “pay-per-gaze” advertising. Pay per gaze advertising need not be restricted to on-line advertisements, but rather can be stretched to conventional advertisement media including billboards, magazines, newspapers, and other forms of conventional print media. Thus, the gaze tracking system labelled herein offers a mechanism to track and bill offline advertisements in the manner similar to popular online advertisement schemes. Advertisers could be charged based on whether the user observed directly at the ad and, if so, for how long. The patent also says Google could accumulate (and charge advertisers for) analytical data such as how long an ad held the user’s gaze and what emotional comeback it produced. Emotional response would be determined, in part, on the user’s pupil dilation while looking at the ad. The patent explicitly covers a gaze-tracking technique that uses an eye-tracking sensor to regulate what the wearer is looking at. But what’s interesting is what Google says that it might do with a gaze-tracking system in place. This eye tracking sensor technology dynamics of data predict the future growth of business and suggest the probable solutions as per the requirement of business. Formulating a platform strategy for business requires somewhat different products to help entrepreneurs and managers to create and seizure interactive values. The AI platform business model is apropos for housestartups, fledgling trades and growing predictablecreations. For business startups, itsinsolences the break to capture a segment of recognized sooqs and cultivate hefty reckless. But established companies too can use it with vast success [2, 55, 90]. We can take the example of Apple which is one of the great business systems [88]. A portion of their iPods and iPhone’s success is based on the fact that they have used the platform business model [86]. Preceding to these two products the company was struggling for more than a decade.Tom Johnson, chief digital officer at WPP Mindshare argued that:"Alphabet has benefited from the general return of ad spend to the market and especially the balance of that return, which is more focused on digital channels than pre-pandemic"[60, 81]. Alphabet said revenue from Google advertising rose nearly 70% to $50.44 billion during the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 [89]. Retail brands were the biggest contributor to the ad’s business' growth, said Philipp Schindler, Google's chief business …[122].
AI and deep neural network can be used for anything,everything andanywhere [127]. The business model framework finds real agents contributing in artificial intelligenceplatform business model framework [94]. These agents embrace not onlyplatform proprietor, operators, users, API developer, and AI application developers.In the framework of AI platforms, it is likely that otheragents and actors have a vivacioustitle role to play as well [86]. Businesscommunity and its subsidiaryis an important agent, as artificial intelligence researchdynamics initiatives are mainly focusing on business advancement-based technology.Unlike for other digital platforms, it gives the impression thatbusiness and ventures take also much more active role in driving business research [123]. There are three lenses for AI business model framework [91, 125]:
Lens-1: Intelligent Product
Lense-2: Intelligent Service
Lense-3: Intelligent Processes which includes Marketing, Process, Operation, HR
Mapping of input and output for business using AI technology is based in data driven approach [21]. Machine learns with the existing data and produce the output based on previous data for better decision and profits.Automated data collection and labeling isa unique to AI platforms.
Moreover, AI platforms are interweaved with otherNeural network based digital platforms, often controlled by the same agent.
Current technological trends of platformbusiness model
The platform businessmodel frameworkalong with artificial and deep neural network algorithms is developing very fast which unsurprisinglyinfluence the business culture, business modeling, platform scaling, load balancing, selling and buying behavior, patternanalysis and even the communication trend for business [41]. Thus, range of actors with important roles for AI platform vitality might be wider than for other digital platforms [37]. What constitutes core and periphery of an AI platform? A wide range of technologies is used in the AI application technology stack [37, 45]. Both, software and hardware can be considered as a part of platform core. Outlying modules might include a bigger spectrumthan for other types of digital platforms [44]. For example, iOS apps or Airbnb presentrestricted to their explicit context – Apple creation use real estate hiring respectively[49, 78]. Applied intelligencetechnologies and methods are not close-fitting to any framework and their use is not constrained in the same manner [29, 42]. But the question is what is the global AI platform framework?Framework of a platform is “a conceptual proposal that describes how the ecosystem is partitioned into a relatively stable platform and a harmonizing set of modules that are reinvigorated to vary, and the innovativeness rules binding on both” [48, 62]. Although, it is not clear whether a single AI platform framework dominates or whether each AI platform is substantially distinct in this respect [36, 65, 125]. Also, comparison of AI platform framework with that of other types of digital platforms could reveal new insights[26, 40, 66]. Furthermore, the presence of complementarities has been considered as one of the key characteristics of platforms [34, 68, 124]. A business framework is a procedure and central base of what functioning policies control a business or institution [22, 64, 78]. The optimalselection of a business framework hangs on the business, the executive structure, the tacticalscheduling and systemsdesign [38, 122]. One of the informal ways to evoke the difference between a framework and platform is that, despite both including toolkits for mobile growth, frameworks operate as software-only frames for building applications, and platforms operate as hardware and software systems that support run applications [33, 70].
A Global Study: What Consumers Really Think About AI
In a recent comprehensive study tells that while consumers are optimistic about the benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning Neural Network (DLNN)-based business model, they also express anxiety and misunderstanding about how businesses use AI, ML and Deep learning model to engage them efficiently in complex situations and if have misleading data [75].AI is composed to renovate everyday business life, together with how consumers interrelateand networked with businessesaffairs [ 69, 119]. While the positive aspect of that is mammoth for both parties, there are educational and emotional sprints to be cleared before consumers feel comfortable enough to use AI and ML to its burstinglatent[35, 50]. A survey of 6,000 consumers across six countries showed a wide range in understanding, attitudes, and receptiveness towards AI and ML [36, 50, 66, 89, 98, 127].According to a World Economic Forum’s (WEF) report, AI-enabled automation will produce 133 million new trades globally by 2022[14, 67,89,91,101,128]. Following Fig-1shows the consumers insight about the AI in business [43].
And in India itself, the demand for AI and ML talent pool is expected to rise steeply with the government’s steps towards digitization, and multiple system of government accelerating their digital transformation initiatives [47, 74]. We have to ready to drive the wave.
The AI and ML Stepping stone to the future is elaborated in the Fig-2: as below
AI Platform Framework,Strategy and Governance
AI-enabled platform framework is much needed in business diaspora [2, 14, 96]. It creates value creation and business growth in all dimensions but it is not clear whether and how some AI platform framework create superior complementarities [2, 28, 56].Digitization, Personalization and Interaction & Engagement is a sequential path of the strategy, governance and framework [13, 30, 120]. The work flow may be defined as below fig-3 [42, 72, 121].
Hybrid platform framework and its services through cloud SaaS model, on-premises platform-in-a-box with syndicates storage, compute, networking and software is a part of AI platform framework [9, 45].The AI work flow for business platform is defined as below in fig -4[7, 127].
As the diagram indicates, AI Platform can manage the following stages in the ML workflow:
Step-1 Train your ML business model on your data:
Step-2 Train model
Step-3 Evaluate model accuracy
Step-4 Tune hyperparameters
Step-5 Deploy your trained model.
Step-6 Send prediction requests to your model:
Step-7 Online prediction
Step-8 Batch prediction
Step-9 Monitor the predictions on an ongoing basis.
Step-10 Manage your models and model versions.
Digital Platform Business Framework
A digital platform business framework is a comprehensive reliant plan of action that a business uses to accomplish its goal line in the marketplace [8, 97]. It lists out the innumerable possible state of affairs. Business is expected to find itself in and postulates the set of actions that it should take in each of the situations in order to attain its goals in the market [50, 54].
The digital platformframework is pictorially illustrated in below Fig 5.
A platform business strategy allows business proprietors to make best decisions connected to business, operations, and business finances [6, 53]. It also supports the business risks effectively [15, 65, 103]. It is also concerned with choosing specific business tools like AI and ML with platform strategy and framework. The following figure-6 shows the workflow for AI-platform strategy framework.
AI Platform is a managed service that enables to easily build machine learning business models, that work on any type of data, of any size [51, 104]. Create model with the powerful TensorFlow framework that powers many Google products, from Google Photos to Google Cloud Speech on business framework [1, 87, 89, 118]. The platform strategy in pictorial way is defined by rossdawson.com as below in fig -7.
Platform strategy is also very much pertinent with Explainable AI (XAI) in business ecosphere. Explainable AI is a set of tools and frameworks to assist and interpret predictions made by machine learning business models [6, 61, 73]. It can debug and improve business model performance, and assist others understand business models' behavior and pattern. It also generates feature attributions for model predictions in AutoML Tables and AI Platform, and visually investigate model behavior using the What-If Tool. Reduce model monitoring efforts by 35% to 50%. Increase model accuracy by 15% to 30% [88, 114]. Increase net profits on a data and AI platform.The structure of platform design and governance is depicted as below in fig-8 [71, 112, 127].

Application of Artificial Intelligence in Business Framework
Artificial intelligence (AI) is progressivelyfleeting into everyday business use[119]. From workflow management to trend predictions. AI has many different uses in business [52].Artificial Intelligence (AI)also delivers new business openings [117].Many societies still subordinate artificial intelligence with science fiction dystopias, but that classification is diminishing as artificial intelligence advances and becomes more usual in our day-to-daybreathes. Today, artificial intelligence is a domestic name (and sometimes even a home presence – hi, Alexa!, OK Google, Hi Siri, etc)[88, 119].In commercial and business organizations, artificial intelligence has a vast range of applications and uses[29, 113]. In fact, most of us interrelate with artificial intelligence in some form or another on a regular basis. From the commonplace to the spectacular, artificial intelligence is already unsettlingeffectively every business process in every manufacturing. As artificial intelligence technologies flourish, they are becoming an imperious for businesses that famine to sustain a modest edge[24, 55, 89].
Benefits of AI platform Strategy
- Optimize AI and cloud economics
Put multi-cloud AI to work for business. Use flexible consumption models. Build and deploy AI anywhere [22, 91].
- Predict outcomes and prescribe actions
Optimize schedules, plans and resource allocations using predictions. Simplify optimization modeling with a natural language interface [25].
Unite and cross-train developers and data scientists. Push models through REST API across any cloud. Save time and cost managing disparate tools [67].
- Unify tools and increase productivity for Model
Operationalize enterprise AI across clouds. Govern and secure data science projects at scale [23].
- Deliver fair, explainable AI (XAI)
The business benefits of AI depict through the following figure as it was surveyed on 250 executives who were familiar with their companies use of technologies to learn about third goals for AI initiatives [98]. More than half said their primary goals was to make existing products better[7, 28, 86, 115]. Reducing head count was mentioned by only 22%. The following figure-9 show the percentage of executives who cite the benefits of AI.
