The future of machine learning tools with Diana Pfeil
Show Notes

Diana Pfeil is a startup CTO with 15+ years of experience with machine learning and optimization, including a PhD from MIT.

She's seen machine learning developer tools grow from non-existent to a complete Python ecosystem, pre-trained networks, and numerous out-of-the-box paid solutions. That said, her position is to stick with open-source cloud provide tools– hear why!

Diana and I also discuss equality and fairness in machine learning, and how it can be used for good vs. evil in society. We can use machine learning eliminate bias in society, but we have to be intentional. She's a fan of the tool Shap to check your outcomes. 

We close out with discussing the future of DevTools for machine learning and whether or not I should be scared of Skynet running the world.
