What You Can Learn from These 7 Top Innovators

In our interviews, we asked these six data scientists—and a medical doctor doing groundbreaking work in federated learning and medical AI—about everything from the rise of data science, to where new breakthroughs might come from in the future, to career advice for aspiring innovators. Their answers are insightful, inspiring, and sometimes even surprising.

All say that better tools for data scientists are a key driver of innovation. As Google’s Chief Decision Scientist, Cassie Kozyrkov, puts it: “The world is finally on board with understanding that ‘knowledge is power’ belongs in the same bucket of ideas as ‘data is useful.’”

"And if data is useful, then data scientists are useful, and their work needs to be streamlined to extract value and accelerate innovation,” says Kozyrkov.

Meet Cassie and other top leaders who are advancing the profession, achieving new value for their companies, and helping to solve the world's biggest problems in our book today.
