Artificial intelligence is infiltrating every industry, allowing vehicles to navigate without drivers, assisting doctors with medical diagnoses, and giving financial institutions more nuanced ways to predict risk. AI s not only found new cutting edge business but is also transforming traditional industries like Oil and Gas. In this talk, we seek to dive deeper into AI/ Big Data engineering and its cross-section with the traditional engineering design process.

We also seek to answer the question: as an engineer/ profession in the Oil and Gas industry what would be your role in bringing AI/ Big Data to your field. Should you seek to learn new skills like data science, data engineering or data visualization and implement them yourself? Or can you play the role of an influencer and/ or thought leader by promoting certain uses of AI/ Big Data tech in your industry?
