How massive data growth is good for AI (and a problem)

Ninety percent of all the data available online today has accumulated over the last couple of years. This pool of data is projected to grow exponentially as we all contribute to it each day through 500 million tweets, 4.3 billion Facebook posts, 5.75 billion "likes," and 6 billion daily Google searches. The Ridacati Group reports that 205 billion emails were sent each day in 2015, and it estimates that by 2019 that number will increase 20 percent to reach 246 billion emails. This data growth is inextricably linked to the development of AI. Deep learning models have become routine in almost every area that deals with data.
