Today, Cray still is storing and analyzing huge amounts of data, only it is using AI to do it differently. In this chat, WardsAuto's Drew Winter and Chris Hegarty, Enterprise Artificial Intelligence Sector Lead for Cray, will discuss what Cray has been up to, where it is headed now.

AI AND AUTONOMY: Challenges to ImplementationTwitter’s 270 million users produce about 100 GB of data per day. A single autonomous test vehicle produces about 30 TB per day, 3,000 times the scope of Twitter’s daily data. Will AI systems have the computing horsepower to manage such data, will vehicles have enough juice on board to power such systems?
