According to Time, big data has the potential to help the most vulnerable in our communities. 

Traveling recently through Southeast Asia and East Africa, I have been both amazed and appalled by how big data and other digital innovations are changing people’s lives—or not.

According to the Enterprisers Project, artificial intelligence and machine learning are examples of how big data can be put to work. 

Big data isn’t quite the term de rigueur that it was a few years ago, but that doesn’t mean it went anywhere. If anything, big data has just been getting bigger.

Big data techniques are helping scientists discover new uses for materials, reports SciTechDaily. 

When scientists and engineers discover new ways to optimize existing materials, it paves the way for innovations that make everything from our phones and computers to our medical equipment smaller, faster, and more efficient.
