Mark Saroufim: Machine Learning has become Necromancy

Join us for the USF Data Science Speaker Series on Friday, October 27th at 12:30 PM, as we enthusiastically introduce our featured speaker, Mark Saroufim!

Mark is an open-source developer and author known for his regular contributions to open-source projects and his affinity for hot takes.

In recent years, Machine Learning has evolved from a research field into an engineering discipline, funded by billions of dollars in computing resources. This increased attention has ignited discussions about regulating the existential risks associated with Machine Learning.

With this as our backdrop, you might wonder: should you study Machine Learning, and if so, what's the best way to embark on this journey today? Mark's talk delves into the history of forbidden sciences, drawing parallels to provide a roadmap for aspiring scientists.

If you have even a remote interest in open-source development and the growth of a field, this is a must-attend event!
