What's it all about?
As human interaction with technology grows, the amount of data we have is almost immeasurable.
Featuring Miles Fordyce, Tower Data and Customer Platforms Lead and Director of the Data Science Programme at the University of Auckland Professor, Sebastian Link, we look at what this means for careers in data science and the ability we have to improve people’s lives.
We examine the role of collaborations and partnerships to bridge the world of academia, business, and government. The utilisation and practical application of data and the opportunities that this presents for people in tech-based careers is huge.
Through an insurance lens, we can discuss the different emerging technologies in data science and how creative data utilisation can solve both business problems and customer pain points.
