Eric Siegel covers why machine learning is the most important, most potent, and most misunderstood technology. And did I mention most important?

Yup, it’s the most important – yet most new ML projects fail to deliver value. This podcast will help you:

- Make sure machine learning is effective and valuable

- Catch common machine learning oversights

- Understand ethical pitfalls – concretely

- Sniff out all the ”artificial intelligence” malarky

This podcast is for both data scientists and business leaders of all kinds – such as executives, directors, line of business managers, and consultants – who are involved in or affected by the deployment of machine learning.

To get machine learning to work, both the tech and business sides must make an effort to reach across wide chasm.
