DATA IS THE NEW GOLD
According to recent estimates, 90 percent of the data in the world today has been created in the past two years. New technologies, tools and methods are required to make sense of this avalanche of data. The growing importance of artificial intelligence is one of the results of this trend.
Data scientists use state of the art mathematics and computer science methods such as statistics, machine learning, data mining and predictive analytics. This is combined with application domains such as humanities, ethics, operations and healthcare. This results in identifying patterns in various data sources and answering questions with an accuracy and speed that were previously not possible. As a result, data science is becoming an integral part of most types of engineering and scientific research.
