After taking a four year break on his Oklahoma ranch, Blake Shelton is back on the road and riding the high of his new album, For Recreational Use Only . After 29 number one hits, and a detour into Hollywood, Blake’s scorching hot single “Texas” proves he’s still got it. Country Thunder CEO Troy Vollhoffer recalls meeting Blake Shelton during a crazy storm that really put the “thunder” in Country Thunder. After 23 seasons on The Voice , Blake opens up about spreading himself thin and making the choice to be “a TV guy or a touring guy.” The two reminisce about Toby Keith and why being a road dog is the best way to learn how to entertain a crowd. Blake reveals how his worst on-stage “ass-kicking” taught him how to be himself in front of a crowd. After taking so much time away from the spotlight, Blake shares that it was Post Malone who reminded him that he’s still a country singer at heart.…

39:02

At Data Futurology’s OpsWorld conference in March, a panel of experts came together to discuss the importance of getting measurements, processes and methodologies right to drive DataOps and MLOps across the organisation. The panel consisted of Katherine Fowler, Head of Business Transformation at L’Occitane Australia, Amar Poddatooru, Head of Data and Technology at Australian Ethical, and Emyr James, Head of Data at Resolution Life and moderating the discussion was Andrew Aho, Regional Director, Data Platforms at InterSystems. It became a far-reaching discussion that started with methods to define and measure the ROI of data and analytics initiatives and how to get those projects off the ground. The discussion moved on to overhyped technologies in the data space, and then looked forward to what is on the horizon for the years ahead. As the panel discussed, there is a lot of interest among consumers in some innovative technologies, including ChatGPT. This is in turn driving a lot of interest at the executive level at rolling out solutions that use these tools. However, without the right foundations in place, and without proper concern for the privacy and regulatory risks associated with these tools, they will cause the data team more headaches than they’re worth. This panel discussion is essential for understanding how to structure a foundation for data success, be disciplined in deploying the available resources across the data team, gain executive buy-in, and then steadily build the practice up.

#240: Overcoming the challenges facing modern data engineering teams 43:13

۲ years پیش43:13

43:13

This week on the Data Futurology podcast we host Paul Milinkovic, the APAC Regional Director for the leading data integration platform, StreamSets. Milinkovic joins us to share his insights into data engineers' challenges and the pipelines they manage and maintain. One statistic really highlights just how challenging work environments have become for data engineers: 76 per cent of organisations have a pipeline break at least monthly and for 36 per cent, it's weekly. Rather than contributing strategically to their organisations, engineers split their time between diagnosis and repair, and building new pipelines. This costs the organisation, as half the time the engineer isn’t being used strategically. It also leads to cultures of over-working, burnout, and high levels of churn within the data engineering team. Another challenge data teams struggle with is competing priorities. When multiple lines of business need pipelines developed, teams often need to triage to accommodate priority tasks, and this affects overall company outcomes. Being able to help organisations deliver a low or no-code environment that is highly visual and accessible to non-data specialists has been a critical benefit for organisations that have adopted StreamSets. Milinkovic then shares two case studies where StreamSets has helped with overcoming these challenges. In one, a bank achieved a seemingly impossible task – becoming compliant with looming Consumer Data Act requirements within four months. Then, a second bank was able to leverage StreamSets to its data to detect and thwart $9 million in fraudulent activity in a single month.

How can that be handled while still allowing full flexibility? 26:46: Data engineers care a great deal about the quality and accuracy of data and the platforms that it sits on. Milinkovic explains why it is so important that they have the tools to be able to deliver that to the organisation. 31:24: What is the financial impact of data engineering teams spending as much time fixing pipelines as they are? 33:49: Milinkovic shares some case studies and use cases to highlight the value of StreamSets’ approach to data engineering.…

At our recent Advancing AI Melbourne event, Jonas Christensen, formerly Head of Data Science at Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, hosted a lively and insightful panel discussion featuring three prominent leaders in data and AI: · Christine Smyth, Chief Strategy Officer, Defence Health · Dr Michelle-Joy Low, Head of Data & AI, Reece Group · Nonna Milmeister, Chief Data and Analytics Officer, RMIT University The panellists emphasise the importance of building a culture that embraces AI and data-driven insights. Dr. Christine Smyth highlights the need for cooperation within the organisation, involving data students and building cross-functional teams with their technology counterparts. Christine also emphasises the significance of building trust in AI by being transparent about biases and addressing legitimate concerns. In order to combat fear and misunderstanding, increasing data literacy across the entire organisation is crucial. In a data context, a significant amount of effort goes into developing communication structures and accountability frameworks. These structures enable all teams involved to effectively communicate their contributions towards delivering tangible business value. However, this process is an ongoing journey, especially as organisations evolve and grow. Dr. Michelle-Joy Low highlights the importance of establishing a common language and effective communication channels within data teams. By doing so, organisations can foster collaboration, enhance accountability, and ultimately deliver value through their data initiatives. Whilst this endeavour may require continuous effort and adaptation, it is a vital discipline that directly contributes to the success of data-driven organisations. This episode also reveals insights from Nonna Milmeister who believes that to achieve success as data leaders, cooperation is key. Building strong collaboration with every part of the organisation is absolutely essential. Only by being transparent about biases and addressing them head-on, trust can be established. Trust leading to firm foundations that will foster successful data impact and outcomes. People often have concerns about AI replacing their jobs entirely, but here's an interesting stat: according to the World Economic Forum, while 85 million jobs may be replaced by 2025, a staggering 97 million new jobs will be created. So, instead of fearing job displacement, our role as data leaders should focus on increasing data literacy within our organisations. As the role of the data leader evolves our mindsets and approaches need to also. This is an insightful and important podcast for anyone interested in learning how organisations can build effective, productive, and innovative teams around data.

#238: Transforming Education with AI Advancements with Alex Jenkins 42:30

۲ years پیش42:30

42:30

In this episode, Alex Jenkins, Director at WA Data Science Innovation Hub, discusses the potential of AI advancements in revolutionising the education system. Jenkins envisions a future where education moves away from the one-size-fits-all approach and embraces a mastery model, allowing students to progress at their own pace and ensuring complete understanding before moving on to the next topic. The use of AI as virtual educational assistants can provide personalised tutoring, benefiting students by improving their educational outcomes. Studies have shown that one-on-one tutoring can significantly elevate students' performance. Large language models, such as AI assistants, can be tailored to individual students' learning styles and strengths. This personalisation can enhance critical thinking skills, broaden students' worldview, and help them make informed decisions about their academic journey. By leveraging AI, teachers can manage classrooms with the assistance of virtual teaching aides, enabling each student to master the material before progressing to the next level. Looking ahead to the next twelve months, Jenkins anticipates the transition to a mastery model of education, especially in STEM subjects like mathematics. This approach will ensure students achieve true mastery of concepts before moving forward. Furthermore, AI technology can enhance teacher productivity by providing resources, such as lesson plans and tailored exercises, that cater to individual students' skill levels. Khan Academy's Carmego AI serves as a leading example in this field, offering personalised tutoring and empowering teachers with effective teaching tools. Jenkins acknowledges the importance of considering the practical implementation of AI in education. While the technology holds immense potential, it should not replace socialisation, interaction, and hands-on learning in the classroom. While concerns about hallucinations and AI-generated errors exist, Jenkins believes these risks are manageable and can be minimised through guided use cases and ongoing improvements in technology. He compares the trajectory of large language models to the development of space travel, where initial imperfections and limitations pave the way for future advancements and increased reliability. Reflecting on his personal journey in technology and data science, Jenkins emphasises the importance of promoting AI and data science education. He focuses on stimulating demand for AI services, fostering collaboration between academia, public services, and private industry, and encouraging students to pursue data science as a career path. Through initiatives like hackathons, the potential of AI in areas like emergency services becomes evident, showcasing how technology can save lives. Lastly, Jenkins discusses the upcoming Data & AI for Business Conference & Exhibition, scheduled to take place in August in Western Australia. The conference aims to explore the potential of data analytics and artificial intelligence in transforming businesses. It welcomes participants regardless of their AI or data backgrounds, as the focus is on understanding how these technologies can drive business growth and change. Enjoy the show!

We’ve also been focused on getting the right people, and then also establishing a process, because if you just change the tool, you haven't fixed the issues, typically.” “You don't want your control group to be too large and you then miss opportunities. But you also don't want it to be so small that you don't get sufficient data. That's where the algorithm behind our recommendation system controls that, to optimise according to our confidence that we are or are not exceeding the required threshold, and adjust the weighting of the control group accordingly.”…
