Title: Why Data Engineering Now?
Abstract:
In business, data is recognized as an “asset”—and an asset, by definition, is something that creates value. What’s more, data is a rather unique asset: unlike traditional resources, it is never depleted through use. In an era where AI generates value, data serves as the raw material. Yet, unless this data is properly organized and delivered in the right format, that potential value remains untapped. Data engineering serves as the foundational pillar that makes this value creation possible.
Note: NAIST Students, faculty, and staffs are welcome to attend, but students will have priority for refreshments.
