Hey Everyone,

Read Better in your Browser

So what is Data Analytics Future?

I wanted a place to help curate some of the best content I’m noticing in data science, artificial intelligence, quantum computing mostly on LinkedIn posts, tweets and Substack Newsletters, all in once place.

Blogging vs. Newsletters

What I noticed was there were a lot of great info-graphics that thought leaders were sharing, with longer content I myself often didn’t bother reading, I’m not sure if you feel the same way? So I wanted to start a Newsletter that encapsulated content for those fleeting mobile seconds.

Audience: Software engineers and data science and data engineer enthusiasts.

Usually I will source many sources and offer multiple snippets of content that I found inspiring, and you might too.

In the meantime I’m creating a database of influencers I want to cover including Substack authors. My initial idea is to cycle through some of their work providing infographics, references and links in a TL;DR format. This will take me some time (weeks?) to figure out.

Let me know if there is someone you follow and recommend in data science, AI or quantum computing? So much the better if they are local to Substack’s peer ecosystem. I want to cover tons of cool thought leaders.

It’s pretty incredible the amount of innovation taking place in Startups with a strong A.I. component. Of special interests were the ones in involved in healthcare for me. It must be said that many startups pretending to be in A.I., after due diligence are not to be found to be actually doing so. I’ve noticed this myself here in Montreal as well. About 35% who claim to be, have nothing to do with A.I. truly speaking.

You have to assume that once they reach this stage that angel investors and venture capitalists have done their due diligence.

If you like what I’m trying to do here, why not support the channel.
