It has enable d applications and solutions that were science fiction 12 months ago. To understand how this technology is reshaping both business and the practic e of Data Science\, we will examine the history of AI leading up to the T ransformer architecture and how it has enabled the generative AI revoluti on.\n\n\n With that in hand\, we'll look at real-world business applicati ons leveraging generative AI\, discuss active research areas in LLM usage and examine how careers in Data Science will change in the coming years. \n\n\nUnderstanding these impacts will enable students to prepare for car eers in a constantly evolving landscape that looks completely different t han it did at the start of this decade.\n\n\nBIO: Thom Hutchison is the s enior manager for Data Science and AI at Husch Blackwell\, an Am Law 100 firm with 22 U.S. offices focusing on corporate practice across all areas of industry.\n\n\nBefore joining Husch\, he spent nearly five years lead ing the Data Science team at O'Reilly Auto Parts\, supporting the Fortune 300 company's various units\, including marketing\, supply chain\, IT\, HR\, legal and store ops.
