Big Data refers to extremely large and complex datasets that are difficult to manage, process, and analyze using traditional data tools. It encompasses information collected from diverse sources such as social media, sensors, mobile devices, and online transactions, often generated in real time. In artificial intelligence, Big Data serves as the foundation for training machine learning models, improving accuracy, and uncovering insights that drive smarter decisions. The concept is typically defined by the “three Vs”: volume, velocity, and variety – representing the size, speed, and diversity of data. Modern AI systems rely on Big Data technologies and frameworks like Hadoop and Spark to store, process, and interpret this vast information efficiently.
