Cut through the hype and see what it means to be a data scientist! 🎯
Come & watch the Documentary Screening of Data Science Pioneers proudly brought to you by Dataiku, followed by a panel discussion with experts and networking drinks.

Who is Data Science Pioneers for?
Data Science Pioneers is for data scientists and everyone who works with them. Whether you want to be a data scientist or are one or work with them, this documentary will help you better understand data culture, history, and the variety of work experiences data scientists have.
For the non-data scientist, the film is still a critical piece of the puzzle that is the future of AI - it’s about getting to know the people that are building systems that affect everyone’s day-to-day lives.

What are some stats about the film?
It involved 22 Data Scientists in 4 cities representing 20 companies. There were 193 days of filming and prep that were fueled by 47 liters of coffee.

What will I learn?
Accepting AI as an inevitability is complex and might start with data scientists themselves, but it’s a fundamental change that will affect all and that cannot happen in isolation. Data Science Pioneers brings the story that will fuel discussions about not only how to construct a solid foundation for AI, but also a supportive community of those responsible for building it.
