AI Skills for Software Engineers, LLM Security, AI’s Impact on Work, and ODSC Europe is Next Week!
Open Data Science Conference (ODSC)
The leading applied data science and AI conference, with 4 global events and nearly 180 meetups worldwide every year.
ODSC Europe 2024 is next week!
Explore the cutting-edge of generative AI, LLMs, RAG, and AI for finance over 2 days of immersive, expert-led talks.
AI for software engineers seems to be the route going forward, so why should you use AI in software engineering, what tools do you need, and what skills should you learn?
In this blog, we will explore LLM hallucinations?—?not the trippy, kaleidoscopic kind, but something far more subtle.
By connecting AI APIs with software engineering workflows, organizations can unlock significant value, driving innovation and maintaining a competitive edge.
Addressing AI bias can help you identify innovative data-poisoning efforts from threat actors. How can experts make data as neutral as possible while staying protected against novel attacks?
Industry, Opinion, Career Advice
Data scientists are faced with plenty of tough questions from management. How can you answer them and work with non-data scientists better?
In this detailed recap of a recent podcast with Sam Manning of the Centre of the Governance of AI, we discuss how AI will impact the future of work.
In this episode, Ben Colman, the Co-Founder & CEO of Reality Defender. joins us to discuss the current landscape of deepfakes, with a focus on audio or real-time deepfakes.

Unlocking Innovation: Explore Cutting-Edge AI Startups at ODSC West
No industry is immune from disruption and AI has become a core strategic advantage for many businesses. As part of our efforts to grow the data science community, we are offering our support to startups in these fields to help them spread the word to VCs, conference audiences, and the data science community.
If you are an experienced roboticist, AI, data science, or data engineering practitioner and exploring starting a company, ODSC in partnership with Cortical and Village Global would like to invite you to “make the jump” dinner. Apply now for a chance to participate, and we’ll be in touch if space is available.
In this bootcamp, you’ll complete a total of 8 courses, including 5 live, hands-on training sessions and 3 optional prerequisite courses, all taught by a leading expert in the field. You’ll also receive code notebooks, comprehensive slides, and access to weekly office hours.
New Podcast Episode: Predicting AI’s Impact on Work with Sam Manning
In this episode of ODSC’s Ai X Podcast, Sam Manning, Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for the Governance of AI, will discuss AI’s impact on work.
Video of the Week: Getting in the Weeds with Time-Series Databases for AI In this webinar, we will go over how to effectively integrate the features of a time series database, such as InfluxDB 3.0, and other tools like Bytewax to develop powerful, AI-driven applications.
Upcoming Webinars, Meetups, and Ai+ Live Training Sessions
Thursday, September 12th, 2024, 6:15 PM?—?8:15 PM
Join your fellow AI and LLM enthusiasts on September 12th in Boston for an evening full of expert-led talks and networking.
September 18th, 2024
This workshop will delve into the “FlyingThings” project, a sophisticated computer vision demo developed to demonstrate the integration of AI/ML workflows within OpenShift. Attendees will learn about deploying, training, and serving machine learning models using Nvidia GPU hardware and an array of tools from the Red Hat ecosystem and third-party applications. The session will also cover practical setup scripts, workshop instructions, and resources for advanced exploration.
October 16th, 2024
Getting your data RAG-ready for usage within LLM’s is no easy task. When your data consists of various patient chart document types (e.g. PDFs, HTML, PPT not to mention handwritten notes) you will have your work cut out for you. Join us in a workshop where we will structure healthcare patient data for usage with LLM’s. With the help of ‘unstuctured.io’ packages, we will transform, clean, chunk, generate summaries and embeddings, then write our ‘structured’ healthcare data to a vector database (weaviate) where it can be used to interact with LLMs or Chatbots.
