# AI Sensors and Cloud Systems Are Converging into One Feedback Loop by Quentin Hardy > “The sectors include mobility, sensors, cloud computing, and data analysis, whether by machine learning or artificial intelligence. Sensors don’t just give us new information about nature and society, they inform the configuration of cloud systems, and the behavior of the analysis algorithms is likewise affected by the success with which it alters the other two.” > **— Quentin Hardy**, *2016, Edge Annual Question, “What Do You Consider The Most Interesting Recent [Scientific] News?
