The current role of Data Science

At Dun & Bradstreet, Scriffignano is responsible for innovation and development of technologies and is working with the 'the world's largest commercial database of its kind'.

However, will the data scientist be the star of the AI show for long, or is the spotlight on data science going to fade?

Chief Data Scientist at Dun & Bradstreet

Anthony Scriffignano

In essence, true data scientists are focused on broader issues of extracting value from data, while many who call themselves data scientists now are really machine learning engineers, focused on ML model development.

Scriffignano explains how this unprecedented database collects data from every country in the world with the sole exceptions of North Korea and Cuba millions of times a day.

Noting that most data scientists are simply expected to churn out repeatable models, Scriffignano believes that challenging your data scientists to improve and innovate is truly where success lies.
