The 3-Speed Chief Data Officer

Simon James Gratton #ukdata50 #uktech50

“The massive decline of PC's…is about society's shift from creation to consumption… and mass extinction of unnecessary computer work, which in less than 20 years will be all of it.”

Steve Faktor (IdeaFaktor)

A billion tiny robots in the cloud…

…the future of AI in an algorithmic world (CLOUDTECH)

Automated Insight needs context….

1. We face a skills shortage

2. AI/Machine Learning can accelerate the end-point

3. Technology needs to bridge from insight-to-action next
