Why is AI & Machine Learning critical for Enterprise Networking?

At this uphill stage of technology, more and more enterprises are using networking than ever before; and at the same time, you’re witnessing the explosion of network with two dimensions. The first dimension is in terms of scale: more and more devices are coming onto the network and the second dimension is in terms of complexity: the network is getting more and more complex.

In this new world, where we are having the tsunami of new devices coming on the network, the network complexity is now exceeding human scale. Artificial Intelligence is a field that has been around for over 50 years. John McCarthy, who is regarded as the father of IT, coined the term Artificial Intelligence out of the other names for this field’s proposals such as computational intelligence, synthetic intelligence or computational rationality; and the initial definition of Artificial Intelligence given by him was "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines."

From its advent in the famous Dartmouth conference in Summer 1956 which started AI as a field, the exciting thing that is happening now after all these years is all these advances that have been coming. And because of the advances in Artificial Intelligence as well as Computation, networking, and so forth allow us to do the various things that we could never do before.

Information Technology or IT operators want simplicity and they also demand consistency. With Artificial Intelligence and its sub-field of Machine Learning, we can now help them build exactly what they want and help them in making what they care about; streamlining the operations for them. With the revolution of technology on the rise, Artificial Intelligence is the top IT field today and it will soon change the shape of networking with its probable smart future.

We are living in exciting times where we can feel the smart future within the hands reach but it is still a bit farther than that. If you think about it long, then the industrial revolution comes in mind which helped human remove the limitation of physical capabilities. This makes us think of all we can achieve from the AI and ML; think about the digital revolution, it’ll help businesses remove the limitation of human capabilities. And to be honest, that’s the power of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
