What does "Machine Learning" or "Artificial Intelligence" mean for you? Is it a word you have already heard too much hype about? Is it a trend you are following up closely? Is it a technology that will be applied, or has already been applied, in your organisation and daily work?
In this facilitated networking session, let's do more than shuffle, grouping and exchanging business cards. Go deep with your data peers via sharing: - What does the trend of machine learning mean for your industry and your organisation? - What is the biggest challenge to you and how would you prepare yourself for this? - Are there any good resources you'd like to recommend?
