Problem Scoping
The first stage of an AI project cycle is problem scoping, to identify the problem and have a vision to solve it.
Problem scoping means selecting a problem and finding a solution for it using AI technology.
It focuses on identifying and understanding problems using 4Ws— Who, What, Where and Why.
It is the analytic approach that involves taking steps to solve the problems and setting up goals that we want our
project to achieve.
Scoping a problem is not that easy as we need to have a deeper understanding around it so that we have a clear
vision as to what we want our project to achieve while we are working to solve it. Hence, we use the 4Ws Problem
Canvas to help us out.
Understanding of Problem
The project identifies the area in which AI can be used to provide a solution. Many times we are unable to observe
any problem in our surroundings. In that case, we can take a look at the Sustainable Development Goals.
Sustainable Development Goals
We are surrounded by problems. We are so used to these problems around us that they seem to be part of
our lives. When we cannot observe a problem around us then we should refer to the 17 goals that have been
announced by the United Nations as the Sustainable Development Goals. These goals are to be achieved by 2030
as pledged by member nations of the UN. Artificial Intelligence supported solutions are suggested to assist the
society and government to achieve these goals that would work to improve the lives of the people living in the
society all across the nations.
