In an AI-powered near future, tiny chunks of information take on large significance. Seemingly unrelated data points are automatically identified, connected, and used to provide goods/services, access to healthcare, and decisions that affect our lives. To some, it looks like chaos or magic. But we data pros know better. We understand WHAT is happening, even if we’re a bit hazy on the HOW. 

 In this session, we’ll explore:

a) Your (rare) superpowers 
b) Their value to your family, your organization, and society 
c) What you could be doing now to help your family, your career, and your communities as they face a data-driven future.
