AI has become one of the hottest topics in technology, and skills in data science and machine learning are highly in demand. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, AI and AI-related tech will contribute at least USD 15.7 trillion to the global economy in 2030.
Does this sound familiar?: You have an interest in Data Science. You’ve taken online courses and are confident in your coding. You want to take the next step but aren’t sure exactly how.
Millions of people have signed up for Andrew Ng’s machine learning class, but few take the plunge into an enhanced career.
This panel discussion seeks to explore the impact of big data – specifically Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence – and the jobs and industries (including Finance) that will be affected.
Will you be able to adapt your career? It’s time to understand how you can ride the wave of AI.
Our highly qualified speakers will not only discuss which repetitive or labour-intensive jobs will likely be automated, but also explore how continuing lifelong education can help the workforce of today cope with the increasingly rapid changes occurring in the workplace.
