Join us on September 12 for an exciting talk, Beyond Models–Applying AI and Data Science Effectively, with Alfred Spector, a Visiting Scholar at MIT and a Senior Advisor at Blackstone! Based on the speaker and his co-authors' recent book, Data Science in Context (and an associated MIT Course), this presentation distills these additional challenges into a rubric and illustrates its application with a number of examples. While the talk should have practical value to those applying and regulating AI and DS, it also illustrates contemporary research challenges. SAVE YOUR SPOT and register here! https://lu.ma/pdw81ylx This event is co-hosted with Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science. #AI #datascience
