  • In the last 2 years, 90% of all existing data has been created
  • This explosion of data calls for technological solutions to manage the volume of data
  • Cognitive technology is the ability to train a machine to think like humans, teach a computer to recognize patterns and generate hypothesis and get to reasonable outcomes
