The Little Book of Data

Understanding the Powerful Analytics that Fuel AI, Make or Break Careers, and Could Just End Up Saving the World

by Justin Evans ...

Data is not about number crunching. It’s about ideas. And when used properly (read: ethically), it is the problem solver of our time.Yet many savvy people seem to be in data denial: they don’t think they need to understand data, or it’s too complicated, or worse, using it is somehow unethical.
