Seminar by Dr Aleksi Aaltonen (Stevens Institute of Technology)

Dr Aleksi Aaltonen of the Stevens Institute of Technology on 'Making Sense of Data in the Age of AI: Data Studies in Management'. His argument: data have always been central to large-scale organising and are becoming more so in an AI-driven economy, but what actually feeds contemporary AI systems resists the simple definitions companies work with, which is why managing, using and sharing data for AI proves so hard in practice. He makes the case for treating data as a research object in its own right, drawing on his own work and the Research Handbook on Digital Data. Part of UCD College of Business's MIS seminar series and its Conversations on AI and Humans collection. 2pm to 3.30pm in Room Q115, Lochlann Quinn School of Business, Belfield. Free. Why go: an academic seminar rather than an industry talk, which is the point - the data-strategy problem framed by someone with no product to sell. Best for data leads, researchers and anyone writing their company's data strategy.
