A PhD-Level AI Agent
Of course, when I learned that OpenAI has been considering launching the PhD Level Agent at $20,000 a month, I thought, "Hey, that would be a nice salary to have for a PhD graduate like myself". After all, AI has been promoted as cheaper than humans, which doesn't sound correct for doctorate holders - FYI. But seriously: What is a PhD? It is NOT experience - or at least not just . Spending 10 years doing the same thing over and over again or being led by your leaders' visi

The GenAI Genius Business Model
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the GenAI business model is out-of-this-world genius . A technology that impersonates humans, leading people to question whether the tech is sentient. A tool marketed as a superpower employee in place of a team, at the price of one individual. But is it? I want to share facts with you and, if you are in an influential position, guide you on how to direct conversations in AI. In the end, it boils down to a business decision . Fir

I got a Claude Pro Subscription
You read that correctly, I got a personal Claude Pro subscription. Back in 2022, when ChatGPT was launched, subscriptions were cheap. Nonetheless, I held back from getting a personal subscription because most of my GenAI use was work-related, and work offered a secure subscription. Until very recently, I had little use for GenAI, not other AI techniques. I write all my content, and use Grammarly to check my grammar and typos. I have a subscription for Grammarly Premium and in

Data Analyst, Scientist or Engineer
Many posts online are saying that: a Data Scientist's role is obsolete or can be classified as Analyst or Engineer. Some claim that this role was overhyped and that data scientists would ultimately move on to specialise in analysis or engineering. Design by Geoff Sence . Saying this means that one missed the word that explains the role of a data scientist: Science Science is a word that has been largely misunderstood. Britannica defines Science as the knowledge about or stud

For every AI action
There is a data reaction . Design by Geoff Sence AI brought about a lot of controversy. AI companies argue that #AIforGood will improve productivity and performance, and regulations may stifle advancement and experimentation. Conversely, ethical arguments advocate for guidelines and regulations to ensure that AI technology safeguards fundamental human rights such as privacy and protects against misuse and misinformation. One thing that both parties agree on is that when AI i

You are biased, and how could you not be?
Bias in the data is one of the many issues revolving around data science and AI. I believe the community accepted this as one of the items to check for when assessing the data quality. But what is it, and what gives rise to a bias? More importantly, do we always need to eliminate it? In this article, I intend to explain bias and share an unpopular opinion that: To get a good model, sometimes you need to keep that bias! The reason I say this begins with the mathematical def

Hiring a Data Scientist
When I started this blog, I intended to share as many data science elements with the broader public to bridge the gap between data science and businesses or natural persons . Sharing data science knowledge around techniques and algorithms is one way to do so. The other is to speak directly to the heart of the business, costs . **All the estimates below will be linked to their sources to help businesses plan their costs and understand their expenses.
