AI and Machine Learning More Relevant in the Brave New World

Description

As unprecedented and far-reaching as the crisis is, a rough sketch of the post-Covid world is starting to emerge. And a lot about this New Normal feels like an accelerated version of the planning done in the pre-Covid world: leaner, cleaner and more decentralized production and post-production pipelines, a big emphasis on security, and of course AI to intelligently integrate and optimize it all. But while the future isn’t totally out of focus, it’s arriving much faster than anybody would have ever anticipated. This is a problem on so many levels, first and foremost because the current “rush to the cloud” - naturally- forces industry players into decisions driven by emergency, and into the arms of large cloud providers all too happy to manage petabytes more data behind their high, comfortable, and outrageously expensive walls. This is one of the areas where even simple machine learning and artificial intelligence solutions can optimize many areas of the New Normal, especially cloud deployments, pipelines, and security. This security will give an overview of the post-COVID cloud infrastructure landscape, and lay out concrete avenues for artificial intelligence to play a central role in the New Normal.
