The Future is Here, and Its Data Will Now Be Evenly Distributed

To paraphrase that zeitgeist-capturing insight of novelist William Gibson, data.world’s most important innovation, our AI Context Engine(tm), will diffuse the future of data-driven insight in ways that will transform our industry — and yours too.

On March 7th, we announced our most important innovation in data.world’s history with the introduction of our new AI Context Engine(tm). You can read the fundamentals in our press release. Here I want to explore below why this really matters — and how it will shape the future of enterprise data and analytics.

A quick review of 'The Second Machine Age'

Last year, I recommended Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think as my book pick of the year and wrote an abundantly long review of it. There are thousands of good business ideas in that book for entrepreneurs that are destined to change the world (I also wrote about Elon Musk being my current pick as entrepreneur-of-the-decade as he defines the ethos of this mindset better than anyone I can think of in today's age).

This year, I'm recommending you read The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies as a compliment to Abundance. To choose a word from the title, this is a brilliant book. It is written by two MIT professors that I am fortunate enough to call friends, Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee.
