As organizations increasingly use artificial intelligence to collect and analyze data and identify individuals, the topic of ethical AI often rears its head. Last year, Michigan's Integrated Data Automated System flagged more than 540,000 unemployment claims as possibly fraudulent. Thousands of state residents’ accounts were inaccurately flagged, making it almost
“Over the last 15 months, we’ve seen the world change in countless ways,” SAS CEO Jim Goodnight said to virtual attendees at SAS Global Forum’s Opening Session. “We’re relying on math and science to make important decisions. We look at data to determine when it’s safe to travel or return
SAS' Lynneth Lohse provides a window into how our quality culture benefits our software.
Letzte Woche hatte ich das große Vergnügen, zum ersten Mal an einem Ideathon teilzunehmen (Winterhack). Wer das nicht kennt – diese Art der Veranstaltung ist vergleichbar mit einem Hackathon, nur dass hier weniger das Coden und technische Entwickeln von Prototypen im Vordergrund steht. Vielmehr geht es in der Hauptsache um

In May, I joined several SAS colleagues, academics, clinicians, pharmaceutical companies, and other information and technology specialists for the first-ever IMI PIONEER Hackathon for prostate cancer research. A few weeks later, as I watched the SpaceX launch on TV, it occurred to me that space trips and cancer research have
La pandemia del COVID-19 está teniendo importantes consecuencias en la economía a nivel mundial.

At the end of March, the German government sponsored a hackathon called #WirVsVirus. The aim was to bring Germany’s collective coding expertise to bear on some of the many problems surrounding COVID-19. In total, more than 27,000 coders joined the challenge, working from home, and programming for 48 hours from
In some cases, recovery provides immunity to future infections, however the evidence currently available for COVID-19 cannot confirm this immunity stage.
Yeni tip korona virus (COVID-19) ile yapılan global mücadeleye veri bilimi ışığında katkıda bulunmak ister misiniz? Uzmanların belirttiği üzere, “sosyal mesafe”ye dikkat etmek ve temel hijyen kurallarını takip etmek başta olacak şekilde, almamız gereken önlemler var. Veri bilimciler ise bu pandeminin en etkili şekilde yönetilmesinde çeşitli projelerle yardımcı olmaktalar. Sizler
#WirvsVirus: Die Corona-Krise ist zur Offenbarung geworden. Sie zeigt, wo die digitalfittesten Köpfe sitzen: mitten unter uns im Home-Office.
As AVT expands into domain specific topics, the shape of the programme will evolve. I am looking forward to seeing what the next cohort of participants will choose to love about AVT.
Analytics-led innovation has become essential to respond to the rapidly evolving digital economy and associated consumer expectations. A preliminary reading of our Innovation at Scale study suggests that it is essential to access data across internal silos and organisational boundaries. Part of the solution is innovation spaces that encourage collaboration

By now it’s no secret that all kinds of organizations are using analytics to take on some of their biggest opportunities. But what about all the opportunities that have the potential to address important human issues that we have overlooked for one reason or another? Those are exactly the types
La analítica y la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) están rebasando las fronteras empresariales. Esto quedó de manifiesto en la versión 2018 de Analytics Experience (AX), un evento anual realizado por SAS, donde expertos y visionarios dieron cuenta de los alcances que estas tecnologías están registrando en diversas áreas del quehacer humano.
For part 7 of this series, I had the pleasure of interviewing mathematician, former colleague, and data science “rock star” Longhow Lam. Since there’s no need for an office for his one-person company, we decided to meet for lunch in a very hot (31 degrees) and sunny Amstelveen city
My local middle school publishes a weekly paper. Very recently, I noted an article in that paper regarding an expose on human trafficking overseas, "World Slavery: The Terrors Our World Tries to Forget." The eloquent article in part highlighted how children have been exploited in the fishing industry in Ghana
Die Diskussionen im IT-Umfeld kreisen heute vorwiegend um Trendthemen wie künstliche Intelligenz (KI), Machine Learning, Chatbots, Blockchain oder Hackathons. Von Business Intelligence (BI) ist kaum noch die Rede. Bedeutet das also, dass diese inzwischen überflüssig ist? Die Antwort auf diese Frage lautet definitiv: nein. Dennoch lohnt sich ein genauerer Blick,
지난 3월 8~11일 로마 바티칸에서 교황청 최초의 해커톤(hackathon) ‘브이핵(VHacks; A Hackathon at the Vatican)’이 개최되어 세계의 이목을 끌었습니다. 전 세계의 기업, IT 개발자, 학생들이 첨단 과학 기술을 이용해 이주민, 난민과 같은 사회적 이슈와 종교간 포용, 대화 등 종교적 이슈에 대한 해결책을 찾기 위해 한자리에 모였는데요. 특히 미국 매사추세츠공과대학(MIT), 하버드대학, 조지타운대학 등
Kürzlich habe ich mich sehr amüsiert über eine Reportage im Fernsehen: Man fragte Jugendliche, was sie mal beruflich machen wollen, und die Antworten waren „YouTube-Star“, „DJ“ und immer wieder auch „Influencer“. Letzteres ruft gerade bei der Ü30-Generation Verwunderung hervor, da man irgendwie an Grippe denkt – die Aussprache ist gleich,
Im Jahr 1963 wurde zu Silvester erstmals der Sketch „Dinner for One“ mit dem britischen Komiker Freddie Frinton im deutschen Fernsehen ausgestrahlt. Im Laufe der Jahre wurde diese Sendung zur lieb gewonnenen Tradition und erlebt immer wieder Phasen, in denen sie zum Kult avanciert. Die zentrale Frage lautet ja bekanntermaßen:

Every fall, highways, backroads and neighborhood streets nationwide take on a noticeable yellow hue, as school buses carefully and methodically transport students back to school. In some areas, including Boston, this massive transportation exercise can present a number of challenges. Boston Public Schools (BPS) provided transportation for 25,000 students via

Thanks to 100 dedicated volunteers who spent their entire weekend digging into data at North Carolina’s first-ever DataDive: The Anti-Defamation League was able to cite the new approaches it was taking to analyzing hate crime data when its CEO testified before the US Senate in early May. Counter Tools, a
Ich sitze im Büro und fingere durch den Papierberg aus meinem Postfach. Während ich ein Briefchen nach dem anderen ungelesen in den Mülleimer werfe, wundere ich mich, dass es so etwas wie Postfächer in einem Unternehmen, das Analyticssoftware herstellt, überhaupt noch gibt. Warum ist das so, frage ich mich belustigt.
