SAS Bowl XXIV, Ethics in Data Science -- Game Recap

Everyone who attended SAS Bowl XXIV, Ethics in Data Science came away with information they did not have prior to the game. Maybe you learned something about bias and how it plays a role in analytics, that SAS has created a Data Ethics Practice, or we've added software functionality to identify potential bias in models? Either way the session was super informative and a lot of fun.

Game Highlights

  • A quote from a SAS Bowl participant that sums up the event, "I learned a lot today, really."
  • Best joke from the chat: "You hear about the restaurant on Mercury? Great food, no atmosphere" -- player skewedLeft after a question about the hottest planet in the solar system.
  • "Imagine getting blown up and having an allergic reaction at the same time." -- host @thiago when learning peanuts can be used to make dynamite.

Hello Joe,

Great summary, and great game indeed! Don't want to look petty but I came out second, not third 😉😎.

Cheers & congratulations to everyone!

Thanks, for me it was a lucky day. But second with knowledge might be better!

Allow me to disagree: I think first with modesty is actually best 😊. Have a great week!

Thanks to the Support Communities team! The swag arrived today.

If I can trust my dictionary, my desk is getting more SASy and sassy.

Hi,

 

Thank you so much for the swag, @joeFurbee I already got it on my desk :-).  Please, give my best regards to the team.

 

If you could also correct the Podium list : I am sure I was 3rd not Silver or Gold and proud of it neverthless !  To each his/her dues.

Apologies @Anne_A, I've made the correction on the standings. I'll blame it on the lingering case of Covid. I'm glad everyone received their swag.

 

See you all on November 16!
