Everything Barb Hyman said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
Hyman: Google and IBM Watson lack data to match Sapia.ai
“It's something that IBM tried to do with Watson for a couple of decades, but couldn't because they didn't have the data. And even though Google has 10,000 PhDs working in NLP, they can't do it either because they don't have the data.”
Hyman: Companies without data scientists on LinkedIn are not doing real AI
“And one quick check that I suggest to businesses is go out on LinkedIn and see whether there are any data scientists. If they're not, then there's not really AI going on.”
