Data Futurology - Leadership And Strategy in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science
284 episodes - English - Latest episode: 8 months ago - ★★★★ - 11 ratingsArtificial intelligence is a tremendously beneficial technology that's advancing at an incredibly rapid pace.
As more and more organisations adopt and implement AI we find that the main challenges are not in the technology itself but in the human side, ie: the approaches, chosen problems and what's called 'the last mile', etc.
That's why Data Futurology focuses on the leadership side of AI and how to get the most value from it.
Join me, Felipe Flores, a Data Science executive with almost 20 years of experience in the space. Every week I speak with top industry leaders from around the world
