STOP, you don’t need AI, you need data science

​In the last year, it has become difficult to avoid the term Artificial Intelligence (AI). With the rise of platforms like ChatGPT and DALL·E 2, individuals and organizations are exploring ways they can use this technology to improve their lives. But what if we told you that you don’t need AI to thrive?

This workshop aims to shed light on why individuals and organizations should prioritize data science as the cornerstone of their data-driven journey. In this introductory session, we explore why a strong foundation in data science can ultimately lead to a more fruitful outcome compared to the more costly and time-consuming implementation of AI.

Experts from Cybera’s Applied Data Science Lab will host this introductory session on data science geared to entrepreneurs, social innovators, and the general public. We will:
Break down the differences and points of overlap between AI, machine learning and data science
Delve into the nuts and bolts of data science
Show how the adoption of data science can help streamline operations, improve efficiency, and generate revenue
Showcase Alberta-focused projects from across industries
Include discussions on how to build a successful data science project
