Artificial Intelligence--from experiments to everywhere

Artificial Intelligence is most powerful when it draws from a multitude of devices, data sources and advanced analytics. Imagine the rapid creation of an anti-virus based on the simultaneous analysis of data from early cases of flu in Europe, and clinical trials in the US, and lab tests in Japan. This is data that will be drawn from multiple devices, operating systems and data bases across the globe. This scale of information processing will also demand a new era of computational power. Even a relatively simple AI computation will need to draw at will from tens of thousands of computers and servers across the globe.
