We are thrilled to present a panel discussion on the topic of "Careers in the AI, ML, and Data Science field" and try to answer questions like …
- How can I climb up the ladder in the tech & AI scene?
- How can I effectively transition into a career in AI, ML, or Data Science without a traditional background in these fields?
- What are the key skills and qualifications that employers look for when hiring for AI and data science roles?
- What are some common misconceptions or myths about careers in AI, ML, or Data Science?
