Hello everyone. Welcome to Data Framed. I'm Adele, Data Evangelist and Educator at datacamp, and if you're new here, Data Framed is a weekly podcast in which we explore how individuals and organizations can succeed with data and AI. So September is upon us, and what that means is that International Literacy Day is happening on September 8th. Now, as you may know if you're a regular listener to the show, we're huge fans of another type of literacy, which is data literacy. However, given the rise of generative AI or what previous Data Framed guest Dan Jeffries calls ambient AI, where AI will be pervasive in our daily lives, we think it's also really important to explore the concept of AI literacy. So throughout the month of September, we are hosting a bunch of events all related to data and AI literacy. Whether you are a practitioner, a decision maker, part of the data team, or the learning team, there is something here for everyone. Moreover, we're capping the month off with an awesome day of events during a special edition of datacamp Radar, our signature conference where we'll hear from data and AI leaders at McKinsey, AWS, NY Life Insurance, and a lot more. I link to all of these events in the episode description now. Of course, we also have an awesome set of guests and topics for you throughout September on Dataframe, so make sure to tune in for this month's episodes. We're kicking off Data and AI Literacy Month with Cindy Howson, Chief Data Strategy Officer at Thoughtspot, for a discussion on how organizations should think about the emerging concept of AI literacy, its interplay with data literacy, how to approach the culture shift for an age of ambient AI, and a lot more. Make sure to check out Monday's episode and more, and make sure to enjoy the weekend. See you next week. Sam.
