Data trend: from spreadsheets to algorithms
The transition from traditional spreadsheets to sophisticated algorithms in data management and analysis represents a significant evolution that has revolutionized how businesses process and leverage information. Algorithms have reshaped the landscape of data-driven decision-making.
When discussing algorithms and AI, we must discuss building AI Fluency in everyday people. EVERYONE needs to understand the impact and ethical considerations of sharing their data. While it’s likely too late with respect to data sharing, it’s important to understand the ethical and functional impacts of how AI is being applied to that data so that people can advocate for themselves.
Rethinking Remote work: again
Virtual work has been going through a shift for over forty years. I know, it’s hard to believe that anything before the 2000s counts. But there were hopes and dreams for flexible hours and work-from-home initiatives as early as the 1970s—they were fringe, but they were there.
Considering what is happening in the world today, it is interesting to note that data is a great enabler of diversity, equity, and inclusion and a general concept of fairness and democratization. Data busts silos and flattens barriers between functions. As this distribution is occurring, there will also be some disruptions.
machine, my coworker
We often consider #digitaltechnologies like #dataplatforms #AI and #copilot features as tools. But if we're rethinking the #futureofwork and the future of careers and companies, it's helpful to think of these things as augmenting our efforts. For a copilot, in particular, it becomes a junior coworker or maybe a more senior coworker as the #AIskills get better.
