Transforming Information to enrich life

Transforming Information to Enrich Life

In artificial intelligence technologies, CPU processors provide the “brain,” but 内存 和存储 make up the heart. 微米 President and Chief Executive Officer Sanjay Mehrotra launches the 微米 Insight ’18 conference with an inspiring opening keynote address describing the potential for AI to enrich, 增强, and extend our lives—and the critical role 内存 和存储 technologies play, focusing on three areas:

• 人工智能与生命. In India, Google is using AI to predict the location and severity of floods, and to issue alerts: “AI, supported by computer storage, connectivity, and 内存, is saving lives.”
• AI and Health Care. AI holds the potential “to solve the biggest problems unsolved since the beginning of mankind,” unlocking the secrets of the human body. Re搜索ers are developing AI technologies that promise to help experienced physicians diagnose, 治疗, and manage illnesses and diseases such as pneumonia, 癌症, and diabetes—enabled by the “holy trinity” of data, 内存, 和存储.
• AI and Business. Speed-of-thought analysis of vast quantities of data is hastening and streamlining business processes as never before. AI-assisted farming, 例如, is 100 times more efficient than conventional agricultural techniques, as intelligent devices optimize light, 温度, 湿度, and water for each stage of plant growth—without pesticides or chemicals.

“AI is transforming how the world uses information to enrich life,” Mehrotra says—and hardware, including 微米’s DRAM and 快闪记忆体 technologies, “is the essential disruptor.”
