“Generative AI is profoundly impacting enterprises, promising transformative gains in efficiency, value creation, knowledge management, productivity, process streamlining, and innovation.

Data science leaders and their teams are navigating this evolving landscape by enhancing skills, leveraging synergies, ensuring data infrastructure readiness, engaging proactively, promoting multidisciplinary collaboration, and emphasizing data governance and quality assurance.”

The Z by HP Elevate Data Science Leadership Think Tank Series – Discovery Documentation Workshop is a moderated exercise that will engage 10 Data Science Leaders and insight catalysts. Together, they will identify, discover, and share perspectives and consensus on trends, opportunities, challenges, and insights related to the advancements in Gen AI and its impact on Data Science.

The collective intelligence gathered will be documented and potentially published as an industry insights knowledge paper, with all contributions duly credited and shared for review and approval with all participating leaders before publication.
