By Guy D’Hauwers, atNorth The original definition of artificial intelligence was the ability of computers to perform tasks that people usually did. However, as the technology continues to develop it is apparent that there are many situations whereby computers can collate up-to-the minute data to provide analysis that no human could feasibly do. This isn't to say that computers can, or will, replace human jobs, but rather that they provide a better service that transforms the way in which tasks are carried out across business today.The post atNorth: The Future of AI Is an Energy Crisis appeared first on High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC.
