As data people, we think a lot about the potential of data to our enterprise today, but we also think a lot about tomorrow. What will AI bring to our world? How do we create processes and structures that make sure that we retain some of our humanity as more and more decisions are made by algorithms? These questions are becoming increasingly important as we build machines that recognize situations that humans alone cannot; as we assess how to incorporate ethics into machine learning; and as we watch the impacts of social media to simultaneously create social interaction, but also plant the seeds of division.
At QlikWorld, I will have the pleasure of introducing you to three amazing thinkers who can help us imagine and shape this future world of data and analytics. They offer a wealth of research and experience in the future of artificial intelligence, robotics and social media.
It's rare that such a terrific data panel is assembled, and I hope that you will join us on Day 3 of the QlikWorld Conference for what will certainly be a thought-provoking and useful discussion on the future of data analytics and our role as data professionals in shaping it.
The virtual QlikWorld Tour is May 17-19, with visits to select cities beginning in June. Don’t miss it.
