A New Era of Artificial Intelligence Begins – Where Will it Lead Us?

Abstract

In this Editorial, we highlight the emerging dominance of AI + Big Data, and here are some excerpts : We have entered into the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Everything around us is becoming artificially intelligent: from business applications to healthcare, education to finance and governance to art, music and entertainment. The fact that AI has gripped public attention is evident from the steep rise in public engagement with artificial intelligence applications, explosive increase in news media coverage of AI, increasing volumes of social media posts and the mushrooming of a range of AI ecosystem initiatives. We at JBDAI (formerly JBDTP) hope to encourage and foster much high quality research, rigor and innovative thought leadership on big data and artificial intelligence in the years ahead, supporting human well-being, the sustainability of our natural resources and balanced societal progress – please contribute to JBDAI and be a part of this exciting intellectual adventure!
