Artificial Intelligence systems are changing how we work, teach and learn.

An @ArtsLettersND's Technology & Digital Studies Program webinar will discuss the latest developments in AI and how they are impacting education and the workforce of the future.

A former Secretary of State, former Google CEO and Executive Chairman, and an MIT Dean share their very big picture thoughts about the implications of text-based generative #ai. Should be required reading for those thinking about the that future. https://t.co/qJD28mn4E3

I was delighted to talk to @ajmunn of BoxMedia about one of most important things to know in #datascience and modern #businesstrategy: "Everything digital is data"
Knowing this unlocks many opportunities for value creation, or protection, that you may…https://t.co/tCGmWur8Rq

That’s the kind of stand your ground responses we need more of...

[Dr. Val Collins (he/him) @DrCollins1312]

on my way home- a pack of UMN frat boys just yelled " hey! we'll beat the sh*t out of you P*ssy F*ggot"- I don't know what possessed me to to reply "EXCUSE me?! first it's DOCTOR p***y f****t to you BAbee & 2ndly a hate crime?! on a Thursday?!- ew (smh) no".

@BD_Zumbo While famous for your writing, I hold u in my heart for your generosity & encouragement to me, my friends and students when I was just starting out; and I know this to be true for many others thru time. Now it is written

I'm optimistic about this improving over time as we get more data, more computing, and more discussion of inference. That still won't solve the issue of folks using Bayesian tools with Frequentist interpretations. #Bayes

Capital is breached, explosive devices found. Fox continues game shows

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

The version I heard has an engineering student in France:
Bad eng school graduates: it doesn't work, and you don't know why.
Good practically-oriented eng school grad: it works, but you don't know why.
Elite theory-oriented school grad: it doesn't work, but you know why.

Nice to see Pearson say this (and with an improved interrobang icon as well).

[Pearson @pearson]

Refuse. Out loud. In the classroom. In work meetings. At the dinner table. Every day, refuse. We refuse racism, hatred and inequality of any kind, everywhere.

[John Behrens @eddatadude]

Great view to finish anything strong and a great reminder of what education is all about.

[Wendy Turner, M. Ed. (she/her) @mrswendymturner]

Have been thinking about this long & hard. We have to think about how to wrap up this school year. This is so very hard to think about for me. As hard as it’s been, I am finding it even more difficult to think about about how to say goodbye to these Ss I will never, ever forget.

[David Williamson Shaffer @DWShaffer]

On a Rainy Sunday in the Time of COVID, as news of skyrocketing deaths in New York and around the world, I am reminded of John Donne.

Stay safe. Stay connected. Stay engaged.

Can’t wait to get back to the parks! Love this visual!

[National Park Service @NatlParkService]

Social distancing means avoiding large gatherings and maintaining distance (6 ft) from others. While we're at it, remember to keep it at least 300 ft for larger wildlife.

Check park websites for the most up to date information regarding access and services.

Seldom are epidemiological data so personal. Excellent use of logarithms a great teaching tool as well. Conclusion: Stay home, really.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

No other country has been this far into the pandemic and still had the number of cases growing at the rates the U.S. is seeing.

Wonderful to see when Covid-19 messaging is comedic on purpose.

[John Behrens @eddatadude]

Compassion, personal connection and availability should be high on every online instruction check list.

[John Behrens @eddatadude]

Thanks @littlebehrens for the important reminder that not everyone lives free of harassment in the course of daily life.

[John Behrens @eddatadude]

Pleased to see @NotreDame growing #DataScience from both technical and social perspectives. As I said long ago (LAK13): "Do not think of data science as a set of techniques but as a collection of viewpoints (epistemic positions) and habits of mind."

[University of Notre Dame @NotreDame]

A gift from Robert and Sara Lumpkins will establish the Lucy Family Institute for Data & Society, an interdisciplinary, university-wide hub connecting existing data science and analytics programs on campus: https://t.co/zJKwkGWL64
