Creators of Intelligence

By: Dr. Alex Antic

Overview of this book

A Gartner prediction in 2018 led to numerous articles stating that "85% of AI and machine learning projects fail to deliver.” Although it's unclear whether a mass extinction event occurred for AI implementations at the end of 2022, the question remains: how can I ensure that my project delivers value and doesn't become a statistic? The demand for data scientists has only grown since 2015, when they were dubbed the new “rock stars” of business. But how can you become a data science rock star? As a new senior data leader, how can you build and manage a productive team? And what is the path to becoming a chief data officer? Creators of Intelligence is a collection of in-depth, one-on-one interviews where Dr. Alex Antic, a recognized data science leader, explores the answers to these questions and more with some of the world's leading data science leaders and CDOs. Interviews with: Cortnie Abercrombie, Edward Santow, Kshira Saagar, Charles Martin, Petar Veličković, Kathleen Maley, Kirk Borne, Nikolaj Van Omme, Jason Tamara Widjaja, Jon Whittle, Althea Davis, Igor Halperin, Christina Stathopoulos, Angshuman Ghosh, Maria Milosavljevic, Dr. Meri Rosich, Dat Tran, and Stephane Doyen.

JW: I’m very excited right now about collaborative intelligence – how can we take the best of AI and the best of human intelligence and combine them to get the best out of both worlds? We are about to launch a $12 million initiative called the Collaborative Intelligence Future Science Platform at the CSIRO, which is all about that.

Just to give you a really simple example of this, there’s a lot of excitement right now about this Dall-E system, which is an AI-generated art system. You can type in a query, such as, “I want to see a frog riding a horse in the Outback,” and it’ll produce an image for you. It’s fantastic. It’s a wonderful system. There are other similar systems, such as Craiyon, and there was recently a story where Cosmopolitan magazine...
