Deep Learning, is a more evolved branch of machine learning, and uses layers of algorithms to process data, and imitate the thinking process, or to develop abstractions. It is often used to visually recognize objects and understand human speech. Information is passed through each layer, with the output of the previous layer providing input for […]
What to Expect from AI in 2022
These past two years have ushered in major changes to how we navigate work, human interactions, and information. These shifts have coincided with the increased maturity of AI as a field. As AI has become more widespread, accessible, and acceptable, it’s stepped in to fill gaps in the economic, social, institutional, and political realms – […]
A Brief History of Artificial Intelligence
In 1950, a man named Alan Turing wrote a paper suggesting how to test a “thinking” machine. He believed if a machine could carry on a conversation by way of a teleprinter, imitating a human with no noticeable differences, the machine could be described as thinking. His paper was followed in 1952 by the Hodgkin-Huxley […]
Will AI Become the Real Deal in 2022?
Despite extraordinary advancements in the field, machine learning (ML) and deep learning have seen slow adoption in the enterprise. It’s reported that nearly 80% of enterprises fail to scale AI deployments across the organization. However, in 2022 AI will evolve to better deliver on its promise. There will be a new wave of technological advancements that will […]

The new year will bring us many exciting developments in data-enabling technologies including the merging of artificial intelligence with quantum computing and graph neural networks, which will power extremely complex, next-generation algorithms. Knowledge graphs will become lego-like with the ability to be plugged into diverse applications. With mounting concern over social media sites using personal data, expect […]
Deep Learning: When Data Gets Smart
Deep learning has advanced data storage to the point where, as more data hits it, the storage platform gets smarter and faster over time. This represents a smarter approach to help enterprises and managed service providers implement a sustainable process for their business amid the exponential growth of data and the evolving challenges for data […]
A Beginner’s Guide to AI and Machine Learning in Web Scraping
With uses spanning personalized medicine to the creation of social media clickbait, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is expected to transform industries from health care to manufacturing. Web scraping is no exception – and while its use is definitely not the answer to every data collection challenge, simple applications of AI/ML can enhance the process and increase […]
Data vs. Disaster: 5 Ways Analytics Is Helping Tackle Climate Change
With the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) report painting a worrying picture of our battle against climate change, we will explore five ways analytics can help turn the tide. The UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, called the report “a code red for humanity,” adding that “the alarm bells are deafening and evidence irrefutable.” U.S. President Joe […]
How AI Is Paving the Way for Improved Surveillance and Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is increasingly leaning towards artificial intelligence (AI) to help mitigate threats because of the innate ability AI has to turn big data into actionable insights. Rightly so, because the threat to data security is real, and across all industries. For instance, while there were fewer than 50 million unique malware cases in 2010, the number had […]
A Brief History of Neural Networks
In the last few decades, neural networks have evolved from an academic curiosity into a vast “deep learning” industry. Deep learning uses neural networks, a data structure design loosely inspired by the layout of biological neurons. These neural networks are constructed in layers, and the inputs from one layer are connected to the outputs of […]
