Identify if machine learning is the right solution (MLCOST-03) - Always ask if AI or ML is right for your workload. There is no need to use computationally intensive AI when a simpler, more sustainable approach might be just as successful. For example, using ML to route Internet of Things (IoT) messages might be unwarranted. Instead, you might be able to express the logic with a rules engine.
