If “data is the new oil” as British mathematician Clive Humby famously said in 2006, then perhaps artificial intelligence is the new plastics – a novel application of an existing raw material.
Though opinions vary on how AI will actually influence our future, we're firmly in the “revolution is imminent” category. Whether that revolution is beneficial or harmful, however, is still up in the air.
The data scientists at George Mason University agree. As an educational institution, they have a vested interest in preparing students for the world as it will be. Given their location, GMU also has a long history of collaborating with government and industry partners in federal technology – training the workforce of tomorrow.
This week on The Buzz, we're speaking with two data scientists deeply involved in both education and federal IT. Joining us are Dr. Ioulia Rytikova, Professor and Associate Chair for Graduate Studies of Information Sciences and Technology at GMU, and Dr. Aisha Sikder, Director of the Data Analytics Practice at CGI and adjunct professor at George Mason University.
