AI word of the day:

Emergent behaviour - Complex, sophisticated patterns or behaviours that unexpectedly arise from the simple rules and interactions of lower-level components. This concept is fundamental to fields like swarm intelligence and multi-agent systems, where coordinated behaviour emerges without a central controller, reflecting the collective intelligence of individual, often relatively simple, AI entities.

Meet the Decision Scientist 🤓🤓

Just as everyone was gearing up and claiming that data scientists were going to rule the world, there is a sly cousin who is ready to push them off the cliff-Decision scientists. Decision science is the discipline of turning information into actions. His main focus is on values, what the customer wants in the future, and making decisions accordingly.

While Data scientists focus on past models and previous experiences to create solutions, decision scientists focus on future expectations, requirements, and forecasts for upcoming products and services.
