Dear community,

We want to introduce a new event format to you: the Data Science Salon.

Data Science and its applications have the potential to tremendously impact our society in ways we have rarely seen in the past. Besides a lot of other things, it will lead to an automation of many aspects of our lives, aiming to improve them. Nonetheless, because of the enormity of these changes, these should be accompanied by an open and down to earth conversation about the impact on our society and the ethical aspects behind the algorithms used.

Data Science Salon is the place to have this conversation. We start with a hot topic: GDPR and its impact on our daily lives.

Next month, on May 25th the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will be effective and every company operating in the EU market must be compliant with it.

Will GDPR change the way how organizations practice data science? And, if so, will these changes have a positive or negative impact on our profession in the long term?

Agenda:

10 Min: Why we care about GDPR

40 Min: Discussion around a use case from a legal and technical perspective – Moderated by: Sophie Martinetz. Powered by Teresa Bogensberger and Bernhard Ortner
