Simulation: The key to powerful artificial intelligence

When it comes to crunching huge amounts of data, technology will always reign supreme, and the future of the data centre most certainly lies in the machine rather than the man. But are we ready to put so much faith in technology? Mark Fenton, product manager at Future Facilities explores the role simulation has to play in getting AI right without the risk. Whether we like it or not, the future will be completely defined, supported and optimised by data. As networks of smart devices and vehicles grow from conception to a mass-produced reality, data remains the driving force behind next generation technology. However, alongside this rise in demand comes a significant influx in the amount of data that needs to be managed.
