Подробнее о видео

Join us as Gavin Halliday, SVP and Head of Platform Engineering, LexisNexis Risk Solutions, kicks off the 10th annual HPCC Systems Community Virtual Summit. We welcome our community keynote speakers Bill Franks, Director of the Center for Data Science and Analytics, Kennesaw State University, followed by Bahar Fardanian, Manager, Solutions Engineering, LexisNexis Risk Solutions, with an introduction to Gus Cawley, Chief Executive Officer, ZipApply.

Bill Franks will provide a keynote address on Generative AI: Moving Beyond The Hype & Hysteria. Rarely has a topic rocketed from obscurity to everyday discussion point as fast as generative AI has. Only going mainstream in late 2022, it has captured the attention of not just the data science and data engineering communities, but the world at large. With that attention has come a lot of hysterical discussions about how it will ruin society, equally unrealistic discussions of how it will transform everything, and a mix of both facts and misinformation all around. This talk will provide some sober and realistic discussions about what generative AI is, how it is being misunderstood, the strengths and pitfalls that it has, and how it might realistically change our world both in the near future and the long term. After the talk, attendees should walk away with a better feel for what’s real and what’s hype, as well as tangible ideas for how generative AI can play a role in both their personal and professional lives.

Bahar Fardanian will be joined by Gus Cawley from ZipApply for a discussion on How HPCC Systems is being used in Industry and how this dynamic startup is utilizing HPCC Systems and big data analytics to hep job seekers get hired faster.

Gavin Halliday will close with the latest HPCC Systems Platform Update including the 9.x roadmap and sharing with attendees a high level overview of the day.
