Abstract:

In this panel we will discuss the following topics

  • How close is the industry to creating AI native databases?
  • How fast is research progressing in the field of bringing AI and databases close
  • SQL is the most popular language in databases and pytorch/tensorflow are very popular in AI. Can they converge or we need a new language?
  • Can existing databases be modified to host AI algorithms or we need to work from scratch?
  • From a systems perspective is the GPU adoption of databases an opportunity to implement AI algorithms
  • AI models are approaching the ~1TB and they contain Trillions of parameters. Are databaases ready to host/manage these type of models?
