LAS VEGAS (NEWS 1130) – Artificial intelligence, machine learning and cloud computing are now part of most of our lives, whether we see it or not.
NEWS 1130 has been sitting down with some of tech’s big thinkers to discuss the rapid pace of change at this week’s re:Invent conference in Las Vegas.
Glenn Gore is the top architect for Amazon Web Services, the conference’s host. He’s hearing from startups to established giants worldwide, and one user of machine learning: Vancouver General Hospital.
He says they’re using the practice in a number of capacities.

“To create their own models to identify X-ray data, for example. And they use that to not only do early diagnosis but then also – what is the right treatment and priority for that, when they’re trying to work [it] out.”
But Gore thinks one of the biggest shifts in tech will be the marriage of superfast 5G telecom networks and the cloud.
“If I want to do remote operations, for example, I want to be controlling a remote vehicle, maybe in an agricultural situation or a mining site – every second matters there,” he says.
The conference ends on Dec. 6.
