"Skill sets needed for a data science team
is very diverse, so we need a multi
disciplinary team. You need someone who
can articulate the problem statement to
the stakeholders, someone who can
analyse the data and finally, and most
importantly, to visualise and articulate the
value of what you find."

“ IBM Watson excels at locating knowledge,
looking at patterns, good at interacting with
you in a natural language and lastly, there is no
bias. This is where both the cognitive systems
and humans play to one another, it is not to
replace humans but to increase productivity."

"AI is now impacting the world. Companies
today have invested billions in tech ventures
today. Instead of developing an in-house
system, different departments of an enterprise
would require different disciplines of AI thus
that leaves opportunities for start ups today."

7. "Interesting trends in the global market
include understanding the human behaviour
towards a particular decision. What triggers
people to behave a certain way for the different
markets, in the different contexts. AI can help
to produce interesting facts to make better
public policies that will impact daily lives."

"The one difficulty in natural language
processing would be the various meanings
that normal human conversations have.
Machines have to reason through the different
probabilities and the different context."
