CLOUD COMPUTING Simply put, cloud computing is when computing services are stored and accessed over the internet instead of through physical hard drives. Our guide will walk you through what cloud computing it is, how it works & how it's being used today. OVERVIEW   What Is Cloud Computing? Cloud computing refers to any kind of hosted service delivered over the internet. These services often include servers, databases, software, networks, analytics and other computing functions that can be operated through the cloud. Files and programs stored in the cloud can be accessed anywhere by users on the service, eliminating the need to always be near physical hardware.  In the past, for example, user-created documents and spreadsheets had to be saved to a physical hard drive, USB drive or disk. Without some kind of hardware component, the files were completely inaccessible outside the computer they originated on. Thanks to the cloud, few people worry anymore about f...

  What is Artificial Intelligence? Artificial intelligence (AI) is wide-ranging branch of computer science concerned with building smart machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. AI is an interdisciplinary science with multiple approaches, but advancements in   machine learning   and deep learning are creating a paradigm shift in virtually every sector of the tech industry.  HOW DOES ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WORK? Can machines think? — Alan Turing, 1950 Less than a decade after breaking the Nazi encryption machine Enigma and helping the Allied Forces win World War II, mathematician Alan Turing changed history a second time with a simple question: "Can machines think?"  Turing's paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" (1950), and it's subsequent Turing Test, established the fundamental goal and vision of artificial intelligence.  At it's core, AI is the branch of computer science that aims to ans...
