In my own words… 

Rebooting data science and AI is about rebooting humans at individual levels to the civilisation level in terms of their use of artificial intelligence and scientific artificial intelligence. 

The intersection of data science and social innovation could drive a new paradigm by leveraging AI-driven insights to address societal challenges while ensuring ethical, transparent, and inclusive use of technology that prioritises long-term sustainability.

The legacy of the Datavysts network should be to advance human civilisation by fostering a world where data science empowers social innovation, enabling ethical, sustainable solutions that enhance wellbeing, equality, and environmental stewardship for future generations.
