Our weekly newsletter becomes bi-weekly, with more content, deep dives, and lands on Medium's most relevant publication.

The road so far…

When the AI4DEVS newsletter started, it was just an experiment following a gentle nudge from people asking to have a reference about what’s new on AI and machine learning. The fun part of the story is that all these requests came mainly from peers with no prior expertise in data science willing to get started somewhere.

The last few years saw an unprecedented evolution in the technical role of machine learning experts, growing to a mere wizard pulling complex spells out from their arcane books into an engineering profession, with workflows and best practices to bring any machine learning project to a successful production. The well-known Facebook anecdote of “less than 10% of our AI projects makes it to production” is not acceptable anymore if these competencies are becoming mainstream if we’re approaching the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
