There are a variety of technology stacks for Artificial intelligence (AI), Machine learning (ML) and data analytics applications. However, the ideal programming language for AI must be powerful, scalable and readable. All three conditions are met by the Python programming language. With outstanding libraries, tools and frameworks for AI, ML and data analytics, Python has proven success leveraging all three technologies.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a focus for research for decades, but has only recently become truly viable. The availability and maturity of automated data collection and analysis systems is making it possible for businesses to implement AI across their entire operations to boost efficiency and agility. AI has the potential to transform operations by improving three fundamental business requirements: process automation, decision-making based on data insights, and customer interaction.
You’ve heard the saying “if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life,” right? Well, I hate to say it, but that’s me. I never dreamed that I would wind up in a field that combined all of my interests, but somehow that happened. Through my research at the MIT Media Lab I get to apply my legal and social sciences background to human-robot interaction. Which yes, does mean that I mostly get to play with robots all day.
If someone had told my 15-years-ago self that I’d become a DevOps engineer, I’d have scratched my head and asked them to repeat that. Back then, of course, applications were either maintained on a dedicated server or (sigh!) installed on end-user machines with little control or flexibility. Today, these paradigms are essentially obsolete; cloud computing is ubiquitous and successful.
The term “AI-first” has received its share of attention lately, especially in the boardroom where strategies to gain a competitive advantage are always welcome. But before a company embarks on an AI-first strategy, it pays to understand what it is and how it will transform the organization.
Welcome to the Spring 2022 Edition of the Modern Data Stack Ecosystem. In this article, we’ll provide an in-depth look at the Modern Data Stack (MDS) ecosystem, updated from our Fall 2021 edition. We also highly recommended our article, The Future of the Modern Data Stack, to anyone who is new to the MDS and wants to learn about its history.
