ICTP 390: Caribbean women in data science on AI, careers, and the future of work
As organisations and societies become increasingly data-driven, data science has emerged as one of the most influential disciplines shaping decision-making, innovation and economic opportunity. With data scientists, Dr Letetia Addison, Educator, Statistician, and Researcher at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus, Labour Market Specialist, Tanisha Ash, and Entrepreneur and Agri-tech specialist, Lesley-Ann Jurawan, we discuss, among the state of data science in the caribbean region, including : * student enrolment in data-science-related academic programmes and the proportion of women enrolled in those programmes; * how we should be thinking of data science within the context of AI, and vice versa; * AI adoption in the public and private sectors; and * how individuals should be positioning themselves to establish a career in data science.
