For decades, scientists and tech visionaries have envisioned a day when computers become so powerful that they become smarter than the human race. There is no shortage of science fiction stories and movies about robot uprisings. We are very far from that scary scenario, but at the same time artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer sci-fi. Many applications of AI abound today in business, and it is even being used in creative professions.

After talking to machine learning and infrastructure engineers at major Internet companies across the US, Europe, and China, two groups of companies emerged. One group has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into infrastructure to allow real-time machine learning and has already seen returns on their investments. The other group still wonders if there’s value in real-time machine learning.

The attacks cybercriminals are using grow more complex and sophisticated by the day. However, with the help of big data analytics, you aren’t left defenseless. You can use big data analytics to fortify your cyber defenses and reduce your vulnerabilities. 1. Analytics can help you uncover suspicious patterns. Big data analytics protects your business data and strengthens your cybersecurity by providing valuable cybersecurity intelligence to your data analytics experts.

Knowing what business problem you want to address will help you know which data mining technique will produce the best results. Each of the data mining strategies listed below addresses a different business challenge and yields a different result. We are surrounded by big data in today’s digital world, which is expected to rise at a rate of 40% per year over the next decade. The irony is that we are awash in data yet deficient in knowledge. Why?

The FinTech revolution is truly transforming the way that we manage our money, bringing new online banks, new models for insurance provision, new ways to access loans, and much more. It rests on a number of pillars, but one of the most important is that of big data.

Social media conglomerate Meta is the latest tech company to build an “AI supercomputer” — a high-speed computer designed specifically to train machine learning systems. The company says its new AI Research SuperCluster, or RSC, is already among the fastest machines of its type and, when complete in mid-2022, will be the world’s fastest. “Meta has developed what we believe is the world’s fastest AI supercomputer,” said Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a statement.

If 2021 was the soft launch of the Decade of the Internet of Things (IoT), 2022 is set to accelerate IoT-related technologies and investments, addressing societal and economic issues. The rollout of 5G, maturing of artificial intelligence algorithms for streaming IoT data, increased computing power at the edge and cheaper/better sensor technology is the “convergence” that has supercharged IoT adoption.

The term “Industry 4.0” originated from a committee of German technocrats who wanted to make predictions about where technology was headed next. And certainly, it fits nicely in the storyline of the initial Industrial revolution with the rise of machines powered by steam and water, the second revolution sparked by the use of electricity, and the third revolution of automated production with robots.

Over the years, this biweekly letter has provided me with the opportunity to fully and fairly document just how much free time college students can have if they try. My college roommates tried really hard.

In today’s world, data is collected at mind-boggling rates. People of all ages and backgrounds are almost constantly interacting with technology, allowing access to their names, ages, locations, content preferences and more.
