Technologies, Platforms and Infrastruture in AI
Gone are the days when the technology stack used be fairly standard and stagnant for years if not decades. But now the technology scene is so much of a melting pot that the rate of change is almost down to days and weeks. Just imagine, as you start writing the tech stack on a piece of paper, the whole gamut of technologies, platforms and tools would change rapidly by the time the ink gets dried on the paper.
AI is Here and How!
This rapid pace of changes in the technology landscape is fuelled further by the revolution of machine learning and everything happening around the world of AI. To be able to support the numbercrunching behind these highly scaled AI models, and the insurmountable volumes of data behind them, there is a need for tremendous scale of technical infrastructure.
The AI Technology Landscape
The technology stack powering this AI revolution unravelling in front of our eyes is touching fields far and wide. From the surge in coding libraries of programming languages (e.g., Python, R, Xcode, Java, Dot Net etc) to the comprehensive full-stack platforms such as TensorFlow, Scikit and Keras, there is a vast new playfield with numerous tools, platforms and SDKs.

Need for Speed (and Scale)
Besides the software, there is also a massive growth of hardware, networking and infrastructure aspects too. These include data centres, servers, cloud computing, parallel computing i.e., multi-core processors, sensors, actuators, controllers to name a few. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that the speed and scale of changes in the AI technology landscape is definitely breakneck, and getting so much more difficult to make sense of those in our lifetime.
