[DBWorld] "War" launched on ML/AI industry from DB world (AKA hot button panel debate)

Fellow DBers,

If you are interested in the ML/AI/cloud industry and its relationship with DB research and practice, this might be of interest to you.

There will be a topical panel debate at SIGMOD 2021 titled "Automation of Data Prep, ML, and Data Science: New Cure or Snake Oil?" 

The panel will be held online on Tuesday, June 22, 8:30am-9:30am PT.

The panelists include many who's who of the worlds of data preparation, data cleaning, and data engineering for ML/AI. I am the panel chair. Panel description PDF: https://adalabucsd.github.io/papers/2021_Panel_SIGMOD.pdf

If you have more interesting questions/suggestions for the panel, submit this form (anon. is OK). I'll try to weave them in. https://forms.gle/dVRcs1vXjchSPo1U8 

If you do not want to miss this (hopefully fiery) debate live, online SIGMOD attendance is quite inexpensive: https://2021.sigmod.org/registration.shtml Feel free to forward this note to your students or anyone else.
