Global Bigdata Conference

For many people, the word "digital" is synonymous with modern, technologically advanced programs or devices capable of performing complex processes in a fraction of the time that it would take a manual or analog system to do the same thing. Analog, on the other hand, is generally thought of as old-fashioned and something that needs to be converted to digital in order to be in line with the modern technology, even though much of what we take for granted in terms of technology actually runs on analog components. In fact, one of the most transformative trends in technology today relies heavily on analog technology. When you think of artificial intelligence, you probably think of robots or at least high-powered computers like IBM's Watson-- the epitome of modern technology -- you probably don't think analog, with its reliance on capturing real-time data and measuring the changes in the signals put out by physical phenomena. The Executive Office of the President recently said that advances in AI will make it easier than ever to search public records and streamline healthcare.
