The April Lunch & Learn session explores the rapidly developing sector of Data & AI and how professionals in the field can shape the future. It delves into the concept of Ikigai (Reason for Being) helping participants reflect on what drives their passion in this dynamic industry.

The presentation traces the journey of Data Science, from its early buzzwords like Data Cowboy and Data Evangelist to structured roles like Data Scientist, Chief Data Officer, and AI Ethicist. A key focus is on the ethical responsibilities in AI development, ensuring fairness, transparency, and data privacy. The session also highlights the shift towards human-AI collaboration, emphasising that while AI is transforming jobs, it is also creating new opportunities.

Attendees are encouraged to explore their purpose in AI, bridging the gap between technical expertise and real-world impact.

Having completed the session, you will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to understand the building blocks of what makes up typical recommendation algorithms, common pitfalls and what makes it exciting to apply this to valuable assets like used cars.
