@AndrewYNg My daughter used to give me the cold shoulder every time I came back from a business trip. Showering her with hugs and kisses & spending time together helped. When they are little they want to know that they are your highest priority. Different story when they are teenagers....

When it comes to building brand new #AI or #ML capability in an organization, my recommendation is “to measure twice & cut once”. Please see my article that was recently published by @EnterpriseAI_ https://t.co/cuL45Y2GSN

Over the years I met many people who cater to those in “positions of power” but I was raised to respect people regardless of their titles. So glad to see an article on this... https://t.co/R8yHakzAMM

Reading this tweet, it dawned on me that it is a perfect example for hiring people who can think in different ways. Don’t miss those people who can show you the bear in the logo for the first time. Check out the @Toblerone logo to find the bear...#diversity
