Learn more about the effective use of AI in the guest lecture at MDSI by Dr Alfred Spector. Spector, former CTO and Head of Engineering at Two Sigma Investments and Vicepresident of Research and Special Initiatives at Google, as well as Global Vicepresident of Services and Software Research at IBM and Global CTO of IBM´s Software Business, is visiting MDSI to give a talk on: "Beyond Models – Applying AI and Data Science Effectively“

Register now!

Applying artificial intelligence and data science effectively requires a considerably broader focus than just data and machine learning. Based on Dr. Spector and his co-authors' recent book, Data Science in Context (and an associated MIT Course), his presentation distills these additional challenges into a rubric and illustrates its application with a number of examples. Beyond the rubric, the presentation also presents useful frameworks for making the complex trade-offs that are present and growing. While the talk should have practical value to those applying and regulating AI and DS, it also illustrates contemporary research challenges.

The presentation will be held in English.
