    The theoretical, practical, and application foundations of AI and Data Science have matured well now with a wide variety of learning paradigms, well understood data-to-decision process, cloud and edge-enabled infrastructures and platforms for training and inferencing, and applications across a wide variety of domains and data types. While we have mastered the art of building and deploying a “collection of models” well, the complex ecosystems of the future - Telecom, Retail, Manufacturing, Smart Cities, etc. - will require us to think systematically about a whole “Ecosystem of models” – where models are connected to each other.  In this talk, we will explore the eight (Ashtaang = eight parts) different types of AI capabilities needed to complete an end-to-end AI Stack. Components from such an AI stack form the building blocks of an “AI Architecture of the future” for such next generation complex ecosystem products.
