MinneBOS - Boston's Field Guide to Data Science & Emerging Tech

We live in an era in which data is unquestionably the new currency. All sectors of the industry and disciplines in academia are searching for creative ideas to leverage the ever expanding information space. As is with any new trend, we see some justified skepticism as well as a lot of opportunistic hype around AI. There is no generic rule for hitting the right level of investment into AI and how to structure the business operations in tandem with Machine Learning/Analytics/Informatics efforts. We already see a small number of companies taking minimal risk with smart choices and thereby making headway in revolutionizing how they wield information. Creating value with AI is often not only related to creating fancier ML/DL algorithms. A holistic overhaul to create a synergistic ecosystem has proven to be critical for success. I will talk about what I’ve learned over two decades from successes and failures about how to execute relevant strategies so we can more effectively create value with AI.
