Enhanced Scalability
Efficient systems are inherently more scalable, allowing AI models to handle larger datasets
and more complex computations without a proportional increase in resource consumption.
This scalability is essential for deploying generative AI solutions in dynamic environments,
where data and processing demands grow continuously, such as cloud-based services and
edge computing.

The pursuit of efficiency in AI is not merely a technical goal but a critical enabler of progress
in both research and real-world applications. Efficient systems ensure that the potential of AI
technologies is fully realized while addressing practical constraints of time, cost, and
scalability.
 Role of Data Structures in AI/ML
