WE ARE GOING VIRTUAL WITH THIS EVENT!

We can all agree that there is a lot of hype in the data science industry today, especially around AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning. These scientific concepts have been reduced to marketing buzzwords and snazzy tech talk.

If you read the headlines today AI is going to cure all our problems ... or take all our jobs. Big Data and Machine Learning are going to summon in a utopia ... or eliminate privacy completely.

We are going to pull apart reality from the hype with our panel of data scientists.

  • What types of projects are you really working on?
  • What skills sets do you really need to be successful?
  • What of this hype is baseless and what is a real possibility?
