Workplace Resilience and Our AI Future

What does it take to build a successful career in data science and AI when things don't go as planned? In the third and final installment of our conversation with Greg Green, Faculty Director of UChicago's MS in Applied Data Science program, we explore the importance of workplace resilience, adaptability, and preparing for an evolving AI landscape. Drawing from his own career experiences, Greg shares lessons on overcoming unexpected workplace challenges, managing difficult professional relationships, and building a trusted network of mentors. He also shares about a new professional development seminar designed to help MS-ADS students develop the skills needed to handle challenges beyond the classroom. The conversation then turns to the future of data science and AI, including UChicago's new MS in Applied Artificial Intelligence, how academic curricula evolve alongside industry, the importance of responsible AI and governance, and the possibilities of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Tune in for the conclusion of this three-part conversation on career growth, leadership, and the future of AI.
