20 Data Trends for 2020

Though we cannot tell what the future holds for us, we can make predictions based on trends. JT Kostman Ph.D – A global cyber crime pandemic ($6T annually) and an ever-expanding alphabet soup of data privacy/protection legislation will increasingly require Data Scientists to accept dual responsibilities as data fiduciaries. As the volume, velocity, variety, virality, and viciousness of cyber attacks inexorably increases, AI solutions will increasingly become the only way to compensate for the projected shortfall of 1.8 million cyber security professionals otherwise needed to combat increasingly sophisticated and determined adversaries – and keep corporate executives out of court. Cassie Kozurkov – We can expect to see improvements in tools for data science as more user experience designers take an interest in the data scientist as user. Image data will grow in importance as the camera becomes more than a way to capture memories, but evolves towards a more natural way for users to interact with apps.
