Big data in medicine: The upcoming artificial intelligence

We are immersed in a sea of data as a result of a proliferation of Internet-enabled communications: texts in books and publications, sensor data from monitors and self tracking devices, audiovisual data (recordings, pictures, video clips, etc.), social media postings (Internet, Twitter, blogs, etc.), and even global positioning system (GPS) signals. We, as data agents, are presently creating 2.5 quintillion (2.5 ×1018) bytes of data per day, and incredibly, 90% of all current data that is estimated to be at 2zettabytes (or 2trillion gigabytes) was produced only in the last two years with most of this data being unstructured.
