4/6 We have way too much data to sift through manually by #datascientists. Let’s leverage #ArtificialIntelligence and #MachineLearning, giving humanity (as well as your business) a fighting chance.

5/6 Knowledge of #statistics helps you maneuver in our quantified world. Like we use #math to send a rocket to Mars, we use math to understand our customers’ orbit to hit them with the right message at the right time.

6/6 To make better decisions, you have to know what’s real and what isn’t. The truth lets you create better solutions, ones that are founded in fact, not fantasy.
