Digital data is expected to grow 50-fold from 2010 to 2020, according to insideBIGDATA. Thanks to improved computing power and the ubiquitous cloud, AI models are now able to analyze massive amounts of data, extracting value in the process. As data continues to accumulate and more companies utilize AI, the value they’ll be able to extract will also continue to grow.
