Description
It is estimated that 2.3 trillion gigabytes of data are created each day and the amount of new technical information is doubling every two years, with 43 trillion gigabytes of data expected to be created by 2020. How can organizations then leverage data science and machine learning to gain insights and solve problems from the data they generate? In our third Ai Kenya podcast episode recorded in October 2018, we talk to Celina Lee from Zindi, a company based in South Africa that is crowdsourcing data science and machine learning solutions to African problems. We get to discuss how Zindi works, the competitions it has hosted so far and the steps organizations can undertake to get their problems solved on the platform. Visit the Zindi website on http://zindi.africa/ to check out past and current competitions being hosted on the platform. #AiKenya #AiKenyaPodcast #Zindi #DataScience
