Propelled by the capabilities of data science, which can seamlessly convert raw data into valuable insights, it leaves an indelible mark on society across all levels. Every individual, organization, economic sector and state is affected. Amidst a landscape of opportunities and risks, the profound changes spurred by AI are raising many questions.
