People Hate Data: Social Mathematics
Mr. Zachary Bisenio
With the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning, data science has grown to be an in-demand career among corporations today as they gradually see the value of information in making data-driven decisions. However, do people really need data science? In fact, do they even get data science? The talk explores the psychology of audiences when viewing data and the reasons for their perceptions of information. The talk also proposes data storytelling as the appropriate response to such thinking.
