Jennifer Reif, Senior Developer Advocate at Neo4j is giving a talk titled: Interpreting Data: Wielding Data For Good and Evil in the AI Area – Thursday at 10 am
Data is a powerful tool that permeates our everyday lives. As both users of data systems and market consumers, we know how data can be a superpower for good and evil. Increasing technology capabilities bring more opportunities for benefit and destruction, further expanding in today’s AI era. How can we balance these seemingly competing interests? And are the benefits worth the cost?
In this session, we will explore ways data can be used to make the world a better place or be used against us. We will discuss technologies and tools that help us as developers wield it for good and recognize and combat misuse. Learn how to use data to make a positive impact on the world and set up safe practices for the future.
