Artificial Intelligence in Industry
The first few decades of the information age have been marked by a significant increase in data storage andprocessing capabilities. In conjunction with this increase, the quantity of data has increased as well. The result is that most industries are now buried under mountains of data. Companies in these industries have come to recognize that there is value to be found in analyzing the data. Up until this decade, it has been difficult for companies to find and exploit this value because the tools needed to analyze the data were too primitive or expensive to be effective. Breakthroughs in machine learning algorithms and increases in parallelism in processing have come together to offer an affordable solution. Today artificial intelligence (AI) is being used in many different industries to improve lives.
