That Machine Always Lies

Recent events in machine learning are outpacing most people’s ability to keep up with the news, let alone try to analyze the impact.

There actually is a massive shift underway that it is important for everyone to try to understand. However, it is hard to filter out both the hype and the hysteria.

“That Machine Always Lies: Truth and Fiction in the Age of Machine Learning” tries to help explain how we got here, what is going on right now, and what may happen next.

And most importantly, help you and your company figure about what to do about it.

This hands-on course is for business decision makers, entrepreneurs, and anyone who needs to understand what is going on with machine learning, and what to do about it.
