The Data Scientist

Podcast: the core fields of data science

Data science consists of different sub-fields. This can be very confusing for newcomers. I’ve written in the past about things like the differences between AI and machine learning, or the differences between statistics and machine learning. It is important to have a good understanding of the fields that data science encapsulates, because it is going to affect both how you design a strategy, but also what type of person you hire.

On this episode, I talk about the different core fields of data science: statistics, machine learning and AI. I hope you find it useful! Fee free to drop me a message if you have any questions or comments.
