Data is coming at us faster than ever. Texts, social media status updates, news feeds, podcasts, and videos are all being posted by the always-on, always-connected culture. Even cars and refrigerators and doorbells are data generators. The new Ford GT not only tops out at 216 miles per hour, it also has 50 IoT sensors and 28 microprocessors that can generate up to 100GB of data per hour.

And because it’s coming at us faster, it must be processed faster. A decade ago, it wasn’t uncommon to talk about batch processing data overnight. For a self-driving car, even a half-second delay is too slow.

When AI was just starting out, data was scarce. Consequently, the quality of information generated was of limited value. With the advent of big data, the quality of the information to be harvested is unprecedented, as is the value to the enterprise of modern AI initiatives.
