This workshop shows you how to build your professional network on social media, especially LinkedIn, while handling the controversies around data science and AI.

How did you respond when your sister proclaimed that she was ‘an AI vegan’ at the dinner table? This is just one extreme example to illustrate communications dilemmas where your expertise as a computer or data scientist is challenged.

You will learn how to:

• Respond to public scrutiny without getting defensive or oversimplifying
• Explain what your research can’t yet answer
• Find the right people and get on their radar
