The Yuan
June 14, 2023
COLUMBIA, MARYLAND - Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere in tech conversations, enterprise plans and social network chatter. Many people can certainly use the words ‘artificial intelligence’ or ‘AI’ in a sentence. Using specific words properly in a sentence is often considered a sign of literacy, or at least it is believed this demonstrates an understanding of the required words. However, AI literacy - much like data literacy - must go beyond such simple demonstrations if it is to contribute value to one’s career or to an organization.

We live in a data-rich, insights-rich, and content-rich world.

AI is the future of what exactly?
The Yuan
September 26, 2022
COLUMBIA, MARYLAND - Practitioners in the tech space love to talk about the many benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) and about its flip side: its risks and biases. People also talk about how AI is the future of business, even though that statement is far too vague: almost any new technology could be inserted into such a sentence, such as ‘The metaverse is the future of business,’ ‘4D printing is the future of business,’ or even something as seemingly far-fetched as ‘Flying cars are the future of business.’

COLUMBIA, MARYLAND - The concept of Big Data has been in use for more than 10 years. People believe that the ‘big’ in it refers to the volume of data, which may indeed be how it first got its name. However, the biggest challenge facing Big Data is not its volume - the digital community has admirably risen to that challenge and addressed it through deep, affordable data storage and data management capabilities (technology), a brilliantly skilled data science and machine learning workforce (talent), and a powerful set of algorithms and methods (tools).
