ITU partners with IBM Watson's XPRIZE to promote AI innovation

Data volumes are soaring to previously unimaginable heights. More data has been created in the past two years than in the entire history of humanity. It is predicted that, by 2020, each person on the planet will account for the creation of an average of 1.7 megabytes of new data every second. Scalable AI solutions could help address humanity's biggest challenges. Drawing meaningful insight from such vast amounts data is beyond our capabilities as humans, but perhaps not those of machines.
