The universalization of AI: when creating artificial intelligence is no longer the work of experts
AutoML, augmented analytics, and the generative explosion have opened the door. The question is whether we are prepared for what comes through it.

Best practices for exploring and analyzing data with AI without programming
"I'm going to upload a CSV file for you. I want you to analyze it and summarize the most relevant conclusions you can draw from the data". A few years ago, data analysis was the territory of those who knew how to write code and use complex technical environments, and such a request would have requir…
Data from the unknown: unique challenges of universe data
We live in an era where science is increasingly reliant on data. From urban planning to the climate transition, data governance has become a structural pillar of evidence-based decision-making. However, there is one area where the traditional principles of data management, validation and control are…
