techUK’s AI Leaders Lunchtime Lecture Series is back for 2022!
Each month we ask a different world-leading expert on AI to offer their opinions on the greatest opportunities and challenges that need to be addressed to get our AI future right.
Join this month's AI Leaders Lunchtime Lecture with Shaun McGirr, EMEA Director of AI Strategy at Dataiku, as he explores some of the current challenges to uptake of AI. Drawing on Dataiku's experience across a wide range of sectors and jurisdictions, Shaun will engage attendees in a conversation about common worries and objections to AI adoption, and how best to engage those people and industries who are unconvinced about its potential benefits.
Bio
Shaun McGirr is a data leader with experience across official statistics, academia, consulting, and data science in a large automotive services company. He recently achieved minor stardom in a documentary Data Science Pioneers, coining the phrase “things that happen 35% of the time, happen ALL the time” to explain why quite likely outcomes are often dismissed out of hand.
Shaun believes the toughest part of doing data well is finding the right questions and ensuring the answers will actually push a lever to change the world, a theme developed further in his podcast Half Stack Data Science. At Dataiku, he helps customers and colleagues identify and articulate the value of putting data science in the hands of everyone.
