In this episode of the ODSC Ai X Podcast, we speak with @_wernicke, Partner at @OxeraConsulting and author of Data Inspired, about what it means to be a data scientist in the age of AI. Sebastian explains why data alone often fails to change minds, how cognitive bias and organizational resistance shape decision-making, and why data scientists need to move beyond technical analysis toward communication, judgment, curiosity, and business impact. 🎧 Listen here: hubs.li/Q04mr3vt0 (hubs.li/Q04mr3vt0)

AI is changing jobs. But which skills are becoming more valuable – and which are becoming obsolete? Join ODSC AI in Sydney for an afternoon focused on one of the biggest questions facing professionals today: how AI is reshaping careers. 📅 July 22, 2026 🕒 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM AEST 📍 Darling Square Library, Sydney 👉 RSVP: hubs.li/Q04mlGlh0 (hubs.li/Q04mlGlh0)

AI adoption depends on people who can turn tools into real workflows. Anthropic’s Claude Corps will train early-career fellows on Claude and place them inside nonprofits, helping mission-driven organizations build practical AI skills while supporting work in areas like education, food access, conservation, and community services. #DataScience #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ODSC hubs.li/Q04mj4db0

According to DataRobot’s 2026 Unmet AI Needs Survey, 71% of respondents say running agents costs more than building them. That’s one of several signals that enterprise AI teams are still facing major operational gaps as they move toward agentic AI at scale. The report, based on responses from 413 practitioners and leaders, explores the five unmet needs shaping enterprise AI in 2026 — including cost control, deployment flexibility, and the realities of managing mission-critical agents.

Complex workflows shouldn’t slow you down. Personal AI agents are changing what’s possible. Join ODSC AI Personal AI Agents — LIVE for a focused half-day virtual summit on the personal AI agent stack and what it means for the future of work. We’ll explore: ✅ Personal AI assistants that move from chat toward action, memory, and task execution ✅ AI-first interfaces that rethink dashboards, workflows, and UX ✅ Context and trust for safely connecting agents to tools, data, and decisions ✅ Agentic workflows that create real value while keeping human review and governance in place Built for practitioners, builders, and technical leaders, this free summit is designed for concrete insight, technical depth, and practical discussion — without committing to a full multi-day conference. 📅 July 21 | 12–5 PM EST 💻 Live Online 👉 Register now for free: hubs.li/Q04mj4Jh0

AI coding agents are changing how developers build, but speed only helps if you know what the agent produced, why it produced it, and whether it is ready to ship. Join ODSC AI Skills Accelerator NYC, supported by Snowflake, for an in-person evening with Eduardo Gonzalez, AI/ML Architect at Snowflake, focused on practical agent workflows for developers. 👉 RSVP for free: hubs.li/Q04mhZbZ0

Local AI is getting faster by changing how text is generated. DiffusionGemma uses a diffusion-based approach to draft blocks of text in parallel, giving developers a new way to explore low-latency local AI workflows for editing, code infilling, structured outputs, and interactive applications. #DataScience #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ODSC hubs.li/Q04mj3l40

From hallway conversations and audience Q&A to book signings, speaker sessions, and the small community moments in between, ODSC AI East brought together people who are actively building with AI, not just talking about it. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, asked thoughtful questions, shared their work, and helped make the conference such a strong space for learning and connection. Now we’re bringing that same energy to San Francisco for ODSC AI West 2026. 📍 San Francisco | Oct 27–29 👉 Register now: hubs.li/Q04mg_HS0
