A survey of chief data officers conducted in the second half of 2023 by Amazon Web Services (AWS) found that […]
Revolutionizing Healthcare Through Responsible AI Integration
In late 2023, significant attention was given to building artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to predict post-surgery complications, surgical risk models, and recovery pathways for patients with surgical needs. This naturally elevated the appropriate debate of whether using AI in this manner would result in hospitals and providers prioritizing revenue from automation over excellence in patient […]
12 Key AI Patterns for Improving Data Quality (DQ)
AI is the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think, learn, and make decisions. A typical AI system has five key building blocks [1]. 1. Data: Data is number, characters, images, audio, video, symbols, or any digital repository on which operations can be performed by a computer. 2. Algorithm: An algorithm […]
What Is a Graph Database? Definition, Types, Uses
A graph database (GDB) models data as a combination of nodes (vertices) and edges (relationships) with equal importance. Businesspeople query these structures to reveal patterns and insights within the data and their associations. These would be difficult to discern from other data visualizations, such as tables, charts, and documents. Since humans naturally think by associating one concept with another, people […]
