In recent times, computation has become both pervasive and less constrained by Moore's Law. This is due in large part to the emergence of cloud computing and the rise of massive parallelism. The former has benefited from network improvements and ever increasing connectedness, the latter from the appropriation of hardware like Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) for general purpose computing. This computational leap, coupled with the process of disintermediation [1] taking place around the globe will continue to support revolutions like artificial intelligence (AI), as many have remarked. AI has a long and interesting history.
