Global Big Data Conference

As one of the top tech jobs with the best career opportunities, data scientists have become one of the most coveted jobs across industries in recent years. Taking the no. 1 spot on Glassdoor's Best Jobs in America list for the past four years, tech professionals are scrambling to land this sought after job position. Data science is relevant and important to any business that is churning out high volumes of data, which has lead to the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning adoption, said Ryohei Fujimaki, founder and CEO of dotData, a leading company focused on data science automation for the enterprise. "Whether it's a financial services company that wants to mitigate risk, a retailer attempting to predict customer purchasing behavior or a software company attempting to mitigate customer churn, the use-case for AI and machine learning in the world of enterprise are predicated on an effective data science strategy," Fujimaki said. Understanding data science means recognizing the limitations that often come with an effective data science practice, Fujimaki noted.
