Big Data: According to the first edition of the EU-U.S. terminology and taxonomy for artificial intelligence, the word “Big Data” means an all-encompassing term for large, complex digital data sets that need equally complex technological means to be stored, analyzed, managed, and processed with substantial computing power. Datasets are sometimes linked together to see how patterns in one domain affect other areas. Data can be structured into fixed fields or unstructured as free-flowing information. The analysis of big datasets, often using AI, can reveal patterns, trends, or underlying relationships that were not previously apparent to researchers.
