Predictions for 2019 in data, analytics, and AI ZDNet

Before you open up the presents under the tree, I've got some geekier gifts. In response to execs and luminaries from across the world of data and analytics sharing their predictions for the next year, I've dutifully compiled and stitched them together. Gather round, and soak up this year's batch, which focus on artificial intelligence, data regulation, data governance, the state of the Hadoop market, open source and "the edge." Predictions about artificial intelligence (AI) are all over the map. They range from optimistic and starry-eyed to a bit more skeptical and jaded.
