Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is inflitrating our everyday lives, from smart devices to medical diagnoses and education. Getting up to speed on AI and the data science field is a great opportunity across many domain areas. Join us to participate in a discussion with Florence Hudson who is Executive Director of the Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub (NEBDHub) and Founder of the National Student Data Corps (NSDC), and Emily Rothenberg who is Program Manager of the NSDC, as they share the many open online resources available for learners, educators, professionals and citizens of all ages to learn, teach and leverage data in their learning and lives.
