Data Gravity vs AI and Metadata

We check in on data gravity to see how generative AI and conversations about metadata and thinking on data lakes impacts data gravity thinking in general.

Data gravity is a concept that has been propagated by David McCrory, a friend of mine, who defined this idea that data itself, the aggregation of data, the use and transit of data has a gravitational effect. That it pulls more data to it as well as workloads towards it.

We jumped right into impacts of data gravity in this conversation.

Dave McCrory on Data Gravity, Data Inertia, and Edge

In this week’s podcast, we speak with Dave McCrory, VP of Engineering for Machine Learning at GE Digital. He focuses on several interesting topics:

• Data Gravity Overview
• Data “Training” – Monetization – Application Usage in Edge
• Multi-Tenancy in Edge?
