“Artificial Intelligence is changing how we live and work, influencing our daily interactions and technology interactions. From tailored suggestions on streaming services to autonomous cars roaming the streets, AI is increasingly becoming a part of everyday life.
However, the real driver of this change is data. Often seen as the “fuel” that keeps AI running, data is essential for every advancement we notice today.
“It allows machines to learn, adjust, and take on tasks once seen as purely human activities. Without data, AI would be like a vehicle without fuel — full of promise but stuck in one place,” said moderator Dr Vincent Chew at the AI summit recently.
