What should a non-expert know about Artificial Intelligence in order to apply appropriate scientific skepticism? Kyle Polich will cut through the hype and discuss how we can evaluate claims that machines can think.

Kyle Polich hosts the Data Skeptic podcast, making statistics, machine learning, and AI accessible to anyone. He also runs Data Skeptic LLC, a data science consulting firm that helps companies turn data into a competitive advantage through machine learning and other technologies. He earned Bachelor & Master of Science degrees in computer science from the University of Illinois at Chicago, focusing on AI.
