Data to analytics to AI: From descriptive to predictive analytics ZDNet

Last week saw a number of interesting events in Europe, including Big Data Spain in Madrid and GOTO in Berlin. Both had presence from key industry figures and organizations, were well-attended (in the range of 1000 participants give or take), well-organized, and forward-looking. The Internet of Things is creating serious new security risks. We examine the possibilities and the dangers. And both highlighted in a very real way the advent of AI in the lives of everyday technical and business people, reflected in the program of the events and the interest AI-related topics attracted. For most however, AI remains elusive and/or misunderstood.
