Data science: How did we get here?

- Data science, what is it? And how did we get here? I'm DJ Patil, former US Chief Data Scientist and together we are going to find out. I've had a front row seat to data science and AI for over 20 years. Together as data scientists, we showed the world how data could be used creatively to be a superpower for sites like LinkedIn, and how we can find cures and save lives by bringing large data sets together. Join me as we learn from the best of the best. We'll hear from my favorite thinkers and practitioners who shaped my thinking about data science inspired me and together defined the field. What was their journey? How did they do it? What did we get right and what did we get wrong? And where is the world really going from here?
