Data science is shifting towards a new paradigm where machines can be taught to learn from data to derive conclusive intelligent insights. Artificial Intelligence is a disruptive technology that collates the intelligence displayed by machines mimicking human intelligence. AI is a broad term for smart machines programmed to undertake cognitive human tasks that require judgment-based decision making. With all the hype and excitement surrounding Artificial Intelligence, businesses are already churning data in massive quantities over call logs, emails, transactions and daily operations. Machine learning (ML) is a dynamic application of artificial intelligence (AI) that empowers the machines to learn and improve the model accuracy levels.

Data Scientists translate a massive amount of data collated by organizations to gain new insights, identify trends and find ways to streamline business practices. The growth of data is phenomenal, in 2020 alone, 50x more data will be generated than it did in 2011thus there is no surprise that the importance of Data scientists is gaining manifold over the years. It is the responsibility of a Data Scientist to make sense of this raw unstructured big data to analyze it and draw intelligent insights for strategic business decision formulations. What makes this job so unique is that data scientists require a very specific skill set which includes programming, coding, data management, statistics. Another indispensable skill set is Data Analytics, the art of converting intelligent insights from data sets.

Cognitive computing is the game-changing technology that could be the answer to marketers' and sellers' prayers. It could also be one of the most disruptive forces their functions face. Armed with insights about customers at every touchpoint, professionals using cognitive computing are able to create and deliver the personalized, intuitive experiences customers expect. But are Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) and heads of sales ready to make the cognitive leap? Our study explores the extent to which these executives are embracing cognitive technologies today, the challenges they face and the lessons they can learn from outperforming companies that are already applying cognitive solutions and driving a cognitive-enabled vision for their business.

The burdens on today's CMOs are increasing: they're taking on larger roles and budgets -- while needing insight into an increasingly complex customer journey. Now we must simultaneously understand our customers, keep up with their every move across channels in an increasingly complex customer journey, and take on bigger budgets while adapting to a bigger seat at the executive table, as sales and service will soon roll up into our department. In many respects this has thrust marketers into becoming not only data-literate but also data-fluent practitioners. This means we must be capable of defining the KPIs. We need to ensure that all marketing metrics, be they social, brand health, or email, align with and support our overarching business goals.
