AI Is Late: 3 Things To Accelerate It - InformationWeek

Today's data watchers estimate that we create at least 2.7 million terabytes of data per day -- enough to double the digital universe every two years.

But the reality is that, beyond some specialized exceptions, AI as a broad discipline has been largely stagnant for decades.
