Anthony Scriffignano’s Take on AI
SVP, Chief Data Scientist at Dun & Bradstreet
On Friday January 25, we published our Chief Data Officer JOBS Update for December 2018, which included links to 31 important news articles about CDOs such as Melvin Greer, Chief Data Officer at Intel, for receiving the “Artificial Intelligence Executive of the Year” award; golden nuggets of information on how to work with data from Helen Hunter, Chief Data Officer at Sainsbury’s; and how data professionals can work together from Peter Serenita, U.S. Chief Data Officer at Scotiabank.
The JOBS Update also included an article that features Anthony Scriffignano, Ph.D. SVP, Chief Data Scientist at Dun & Bradstreet, giving his take on organizations using Artificial Intelligence (AI).
“Leading with a method or a tool is generally a bad idea,” Scriffignano said. “One can’t simply ‘machine learn’ out of a problem with new tools and technology.” Instead, companies have to understand the types of problems they face that AI could address, and the appropriate approaches before rushing to apply a technology solution.
To view the entire JOBS Update and all of our monthly
Chief Digital and Chief Data Officer Job Updates you must have
a minimum of a Silver CDO Club Membership which is only $495 Check out all of the membership perks here.
The CDO Club named Dr. Scriffignano the “U.S. Chief Data Officer of the Year” at the 2018 NYC CDO Summit, which was held in the Roone Arledge auditorium at Columbia University.
Below is his keynote from the event, titled “Digital Disruption: Evolve Or Fade, The Choice Is Ours.”
In his keynote, Anthony explores how the massive availability of data is changing the way business decisions are made in the modern context. This session, both relevant and at times irreverent, covers three main themes:
Digital Disruption (how the data around us continues to change)
Planned Response (using disparate information to make increasingly powerful decisions)
Registered CDO Club members can view Anthony’s keynote and over 110+ hours of keynotes and panels from digital and data leaders from CDO Summits all over the world, including London, Toronto, Sydney, Tel Aviv, and Amsterdam, and more.
