… the ”Big Data” (at low latency) is required for real time decisioning, AI, ML, AR and VR

• Definitions: AI = communicate, plan, reason, take action. Learn with Machine Learning (AI cognition)• Dec ’15 - Silicon Valley leaders

commit $1billion to create Artificial Intelligence fund (not for profit) – OpenAI Inc - Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Sam Altman

• Google has invested heavily to train computers to learn from data and adapt with no human intervention

In order for analytic platforms to respond in synaptic speed both

structured and unstructured data will need to be available in microseconds

VR, MR, AI and some ML will need very fast access to data and queriesIn order to generate interactive responses. It is very early days in many of these Platforms (V0.n).

Examples abound where faster query speed will change the game :-

• GPS• Locale based Marketing & Advertising • IOT solutions like Sidewalk Labs / Soofa.co et al (e.g. Public data ownership)• Indexing /query speed on images, video, audio, PowerPoint and so on

Many (older) companies have not yet become consumer oriented/obsessed andThey will continue to be beaten by the new generation of AI and ML companies

Who can act at the speed of thought!
