Journey of Artificial Intelligence:
"Artificial intelligence (AI) is the
simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer
systems."
In
the 50s, we started to see SQL databases with only one type of format. Then
moving along, larger databases such as Oracle
and Informix appeared. I started to use Database as a relevant tool in the
early 80s. Today the variety of formats like pictures, videos, texts,
engineering data, spreadsheets, mobile data, social media and emails require a
different database format. This is why NoSQL started to exist (not only SQL).
Data and the amount of data are more and more available. The intensity of data
also started to become clear in the mid of 50s. However, at that time we did
not know how to gather data and more importantly how to use data. Today, data
has great value to all companies. Until recently, we had never thought of
putting together all the different types of data. Over time companies have
started to realize that they could use more and more their data to answer many
questions throughout the company. Financial, sales, marketing, customer support
questions were answered in a coherent way. Say, when does a customer tend to
order? What is the profile of our customers? When do they pay? How have we
approached them, etc.? Marketing departments would try to answer this, but it
was not precise enough for salespeople to optimize. When an employee would
leave the company, they would take away with them a lot of know-how and
sometimes companies would struggle. Then the idea of real time operating
systems based on data came into play. Robots
were created and used historical data to progress and behave more and more like
an animal for some or like a human for others. These robots created data like
no other. Anything they saw or heard, any movement they made and any
interaction they had were recorded and reused to ensure the robot would
continually develop. In parallel, research around data and organization of data
developed.
