How In-Memory Computing Powers Artificial Intelligence Hazelcast

Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a concept has been around since the development of computational devices, as early as the creation of Turing machines during World War II. The term itself was first coined by University of Washington professor John McCarthy in 1956, and now, 60 years later we see the actual commercialization of AI. Why now, and what has finally enabled this? AI is designed to process and interpret vast sums of data (aka Big Data), and while humanity has always generated a lot of data, the volumes in the last few years have spiked sharply. Right now we are generating 2.5 quintillion bytes of data, per day, and this number is just a preview.
