The Data Scientist Podcast

On this podcast we are talking about a very interesting piece of research. Scientists from MIT used an AI to run simulations on the economy, and came up with different economic proposals and models. This raises question as to whether AI will actually be used in policy in the future. I am talking more about this on this podcast.

McKinsey recently released a report outlying their findings around AI for 2020. On this podcast we discuss the most interesting findings from this report. Learn more about data science at The Data Scientist .

AI and art is an area that I am a huge fan of. This is why I am organising a Meetup in this area On this podcast I discuss some of the my thoughts after the November 2020 meetup. We had the chance to have with us 4 great speakers, and we discussed about a multitude of topics, including the future of this area. I would be very interested to hear what everyone else thinks. Feel free to get in touch...

Advances in natural language processing and deep learning make us question what is the meaning of intelligence. I was recently reading this very interesting article by the gradient: https://thegradient.pub/gpt2-and-the-nature-of-intelligence/ . The article refers to GPT2, but with GPT3 already, the questions it poses are more relevant than ever.  On this podcast I discuss about this very cont...

AI is disseminating into all sciences. On this very interesting episode I am discussing an interesting piece of research I read, about how agent-base modelling and AI can be used to improve economic models. It looks like the policy makers of the future might be robots, instead of humans. Maybe this will actually help make our world better! :) Make sure to read more about data science and AI at The...

The Analytics Engineer acts as the bridge between data engineers and data analysts. It is their job to build well tested, up to date and documented datasets that the rest of the company can use to answer their own questions.  Learn more about this role on this podcast!

Is AI going to overtake humans in most tasks? Are jobs threatened? We have heard many voices over the last few years warning against huge social and economic changes coming as the result of automation. But what is AI really as smart as we think it is? Let's see what is really the case. Make sure to read more about this topic at https://thedatascientist.com

I have been teaching data science for many years, and I've come to know some of the pros and cons of different solutions in data science education, from universities to bootcamps.   This is why I decided that we need is a next generation data science bootcamp which combines the best methods from different modes of learning.  Learn more on this episode!   Learn more at http://da...

Is AI overhyped? As a data scientist, I have implemented many real world systems that had a significant impact. However, AI is often oversold, and we hear all kinds of crazy stories, which make people believe that terminator style robots are just around the corner.  What is really the case? We explore more on this episode. Make sure to visit The Data Scientist for more content around data sci...

Does history repeat itself? How would World War II have turned out if different strategic decisions had been taken? How would civilisation have unfolded if prominent figures hadn't been born? Historians like to speculate about these kind of questions. But what if there was a data-driven way to study these hypotheses? On this episode we discuss how data science can help historians answer these type...

There are many people (including prominent figures like Elon Musk, or the late Stephen Hawking) claiming that AI is a threat to humanity. But is it really? In this episode, we dig deeper into this subject and uncover the truth. Make sure to visit The Data Scientist for more content around data science, AI, and blockchain.
