Eric Siegel - The Myths and Potential of Machine Learning Operations

Eric Siegel, Ph.D., is a former Columbia University professor, founder of the Predictive Analytics World and Deep Learning World conference series. Siegel authored the bestselling book, "Predictive Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die," which is a textbook at university courses worldwide.

In this episode, Eric Siegel talks about his new book, The AI Playbook: Mastering the Rare Art of Machine Learning Deployment, and the core principles it lays out for ML implementation. This condensed discussion includes practical knowledge such as: Why most data scientists are too technical for their own good, how UPS saved millions with effective implementation of ML, the organization-wide onboarding required to make lasting changes through analytics and why hype about AGI is sometimes irrelevant in a world where most businesses haven't even learned the core lessons of ML and predictive analytics.
