Data Science

Data science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from data in various forms, both structured and unstructured,[1][2] similar to data mining..

Artificial intelligence (AI) is proving to be a brilliant product of human innovation. It automates a wide variety of business processes to the scale of the internet, of email, and of digital media. It can do things that humans never could — like predict hospital outcomes from Electronic Medical Records and explore the galaxy using datasets too massive for humans to fathom. While a significant innovation in itself, AI only produces optimizations for existing practice. It detects patterns, but does not comprehend the physical world. AI can inform and inspire, but does not produce innovation per se. Algorithms that automatically recommend media, place advertisements and detect fraud are all built upon explicit assumptions —that the training data is sufficient, and that the state of things will remain the same.
