Data scientists are in extremely high demand as organizations leverage their skills to tackle all sorts of problems. Yet the demand (and the number of job postings) outpaces the supply. According to the Harvard Business Review, data scientists have the "Sexiest Job of the 21st Century."
This puts data scientists in a privileged position with a lot of job security, but curiously, what they actually do day-to-day remains a mystery to many. Data Scientists are at the front lines of data, privacy, and civil liberties debates, as they construct systems that take advantage of (or don't) personal user data. It's an incredibly challenging role, but data scientists are passionate, curious people who help generate meaning from sensors and stories from data.
In DATA SCIENCE PIONEERS, real data scientists contextualize the role and why they love it while exploring the concerns and challenges to come. DATA SCIENCE PIONEERS is proof that data scientists aren't just data-crazy mathematicians that happen to work in a cutting-edge field; they enjoy their work and want to take on difficult ethical questions, too. They want to make a difference. For the non-data scientist, DATA SCIENCE PIONEERS is still a critical piece of the puzzle that is the future of AI - it's about getting to know the people that are building systems that affect everyone's day-to-day lives. Accepting AI as an inevitability is complex and might start with data scientists themselves, but it's a fundamental change that will affect all and that cannot happen in isolation.
DATA SCIENCE PIONEERS brings the story that will fuel discussions about not only how to construct a solid foundation for AI, but also a supportive community of those responsible for building it.
