🎙️This week Lucy Greenlay-Edmans from our EMEA team was invited to speak at a GenAI Panel hosted by the Edinburgh Napier University. The panel had a mix of data professionals and academics discussing the implication of AI use for businesses.   ”Graduates must embrace generative AI and stay up-to-date with advancements in the field, while being mindful of its limitations. Keeping a human in the loop is essential to ensure outputs are accurate, ethical, and aligned with human judgment,” Lucy says. As Data & AI experts, we love an opportunity to share our knowledge and view-points, and in return, hear from them about their learnings and challenges with AI. #GenerativeAI #DataScience #AIInnovation
