The problem of learning and decision-making is at the core of human and artificial thought, which is why scientists introduced machine learning (ML) into artificial intelligence (AI). AI is a platform or solution that appears to be intelligent and can often exceed the performance of humans. It is a broad description of any device that mimics human or intellectual functions, such as mechanical movement, reasoning or problem solving. ML is a widely used AI concept that teaches machines to detect different patterns and adapt to new circumstances and can be both experience- and explanation-based.
Deloitte has predicted that over 80% of the largest enterprise software companies will integrate AI functionality into their products by the end of this year, and expects that by 2020, 95% of the top 100 enterprise software companies will have AI-enabled apps.
Critical to the success of AI and machine learning systems is the direct and secure interconnection among a web of systems, users, applications, analytics, data and things.
At Equinix, we believe that the ability to directly and securely interconnect companies and privately exchange data is the way of the future for all businesses. Read here the full article  to learn more about how we at Equinix deal with direct and secure interconnection.
