Hadoop, industry hasn’t reached the peak of innovation | #HadoopSummit

The Hadoop ecosystem is approaching a new industrial revolution, and it’s all based on emerging data management methods. Where does the industry go from here? In theCUBE’s Day 1 kickoff of Hadoop Summit, George Gilbert, a Big Data analyst at research firm Wikibon.com, and Abhi Mehta, founder and CEO of Tresata, Inc. joined SiliconANGLE’s founder John Furrier to talk about trends in machine learning and systems of intelligence.

Industry approaches new industrial revolution based on data

Mehta believes that the industry is approaching a new industrial revolution based on data.

“I wouldn’t say that we have hit the peak of innovation. I think we’re shifting arrows,” he stated. He went on to explain, “We’re shifting the arrows of going from the building blocks of data analytics to what I call the new era of automated intelligence. It’s a less scary explanation of the term AI than a lot of people have since spoken about …. We’re seeing the start of the next industrial revolution, data being the raw material. I think this is the next era of that same revolution where massive amounts of automation will enable every single industry, every single company, and every single player in the ecosystem to automate hitherto complex, manual and human processes. That is the ultimate pinnacle of this revolution.”

Gilbert agreed that machine learning can usher in the next generation of consumer and enterprise systems and highlighted the way these advances have emerged from earlier processes.

“Systems of intelligence, the way we see them, they’re a natural outgrowth of the original systems of record, like ERP systems, that became systems of engagement when you add a consumer-quality AI that sort of gave the user an immersive experience. The systems of intelligence come in when you can bring to bear the analytics in real time to anticipate and influence what the consumer might do,” he said.

Highlighting the promise of Big Data and frameworks like Hadoop, Gilbert added, “You can also spin it around backwards and look at Internet of Things and respond in real time,” enabling advances at all levels of enterprise.
