What is Artificial Intelligence? How is it connected to Cloud Computing?

IBM states that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is “any human-like intelligence exhibited by a computer, robot, or other machine. In popular usage, artificial intelligence refers to the ability of a computer or machine to mimic the capabilities of the human mind”. (What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?) Siri, and Amazon’s Alexa are examples of AI and cloud computing combined. 

The endless and powerful entity of the cloud has been integrated with the advancement of AI technology and created systems that we use everyday that act as our personal mobile robots. We have the devices customized to our personal likes, dislikes, needs and wants. We entrust machines to set our appointments, to remind us to pick up milk from the grocery store, to make purchases for us and have access to all of our personal data.

The advancements within our society due to the dynamic combination of the two will only continue to grow. Voice recognition, robot vacuums, digital assistants, smart television are all examples of  AI and cloud computing. It's more prevalent than some come to realize. We are in a digital society. We are advancing so far now that we have cars that drive themselves. Both artificial intelligence and cloud computing have the capacity and driving force to transition our society to the idealistic thoughts of what the future can be or is supposed to be like. Both systems can change how we interact with each other, the world, how we use and view our information. With the two together, we are successfully merging different technologies together to produce a greater outcome. AI and cloud computing will change the world in its own right and create a magnitude of opportunity. 

Cloud computing and AI have come together in a way that can only progressively get larger. The possibilities of what the future has in store for society due to the advancement of artificial intelligence technology and cloud computing is honestly endless. The cloud acts as an easily accessible solution for all organizations to be able to use. It promotes cost efficiency as well as flexibility and creativity of service. As artificial intelligence helps to manage data strategically. Together they create excellent, structured, cost effective, updated data systems.
