AI is touching so much of our lives today. From product development to product integrations, much of our world is in the hands of AI. If you’re like me, I’ve often wondered how AI was created. How it is governed? How are ethics incorporated (or are they)?

In our latest episode of the Get Hired Up podcast, we explore the humanity behind the numbers in my conversation with business leader, and Data Scientist, Stefan Lorimer. 

Stefan Lorimer is recognized among his professional community as an entrepreneurial business growth and turnaround expert, and senior product leader with more than 10 years of experience in product management and development roles leveraging data and analytics programs to grow market share and increase revenues.

One of Stefan's hallmark skills is scaling and integrating analytics software teams to support global business processes. 

In the episode we discuss:

• Data scientists and what they do 
• The ethics of artificial intelligence 
• Integration of products post-merger 
• A simplified explanation of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data science 

Stefan has opened my eyes to the mysterious world of data science and people leadership. I hope you enjoy the show!

Last weekend, I shared that my family was preparing for hurricane Fiona. Here are a couple of photos illustrating some of the damage in my own community of Halifax, Nova Scotia (CANADA). Our community fared relatively well; however, many people across the rest of Atlantic Canada suffered massive property damage, infrastructure damage, and expansive power outages.

Today our thoughts and best wishes go out to our friends, clients, and colleagues in Florida and other parts of the Eastern US where Hurricane Ian landed.

I hope you’re safe and sound where ever you are today.
