In particular, the author explores the impact of "big data" and "data science" on research, as well as "machine learning" and "artificial intelligence". For instance, the author finds "data science" particularly useful for urban planning: the access to real-time data flows from mobile phones has made possible real-time calibration. Our lives will be transformed by data, "data science" and "artificial intelligence". [Extracted from the article]
