Artificial Intelligence Applications: Revolutionizing Data Management - DATAVERSITY

The Smart Machine Age is upon us and is likely to disrupt many different human processes, tasks, and activities over the next 10 years and far longer as the key technologies continue to develop. In the last decade, Data Management personnel solved business problems with data; in the next decade, highly capable machines using Artificial Intelligence Applications will solve problems with available data in a scale unheard before. Some of the by-products of this Smart Machine Age that we need to prepare for are Smart Workspace, Smart Data Discovery, Virtual Personal Assistants, Interactive User Interfaces, Cognitive Expert Advisors, and Smart Robots, to name just a few. Stephen Hawking has warned that the full growth of the "artificial intellect" could spell the doomsday for humanity. On the other end of the spectrum, many optimists believe that with full preparation, human society can look forward to a highly fruitful era of alliance between the human and the machine.
