Summary

As you have seen in this chapter, creating Citizens of Data Science requires empowering everyone in the organization and giving everyone a voice in where and how AI is designed and deployed to drive meaningful, relevant, responsible, and ethical outcomes.That means that we need to celebrate our personal mission and walk in the shoes of our stakeholders and constituents. We need to embrace an "and" mentality and foster the organizational improvisation necessary to put people in the right places where they can be successful and grow. Ultimately, Citizens of Data Science must nurture their natural human traits of curiosity, creativity, and innovation to thrive in a world more and more dominated by AI and data. ADDMy final point in the book is this: You have all the tools and skills necessary to succeed, but your success is ultimately on you. The minute you start to blame others for your problems, you abdicate control of your life. Please don’t do it. Own your mistakes...
