Show Notes

The most common fears about artificial intelligence are from movies, and while there are reasons for concern, Skynet becoming sentient and terminating humanity aren’t among them. A lot of great progress is being made in several fields using artificial intelligence and machine learning. Our guest, Wendy Lawhead, shares her experience as a data science and AI practitioner for several companies across multiple industries. Most importantly, successful and sustainable AI requires well understood data so that time is spent on the analytics, not on the preparation. And well understood data requires culture and discipline. It’s all about people.
