ODSC (Open Data Science Conference) AI

Building AI systems that work in the real world takes more than a model. It takes strong engineering, reliable data, evaluation, autonomy, human-centered design, and a clear understanding of where today’s tools succeed and where they still need structure. At ODSC AI West 2026, learn from experts who have shaped AI education, research, deployment, and applied autonomy, including  - Peter Norvig of Recursive, - Dr. Jon Krohn of SuperDataScience Podcast and Y Carrot - Arne Stoschek of Airbus Acubed,  - Sajal Sharma of O’Reilly, and much more! From autonomous aviation and AI agents to foundational AI thinking and hands-on developer workflows, these sessions are built for practitioners who want practical insight from people working close to the technology. Join us in San Francisco, October 27–29. Super Early Bird ends Friday. 👉 Register now and save 70%: hubs.li/Q04pjSDS0
