The film explores the rise of the lauded data scientist as one of the sexiest 
jobs of the century and how this hype has - for better and worse - shaped the 
expectations of AI-ambitious organisations worldwide. In Data Science Pioneers, 
real data scientists contextualise the role and why they love it while 
exploring the concerns and challenges to come.

"To have a film like this, featuring data scientists and for data scientists, 
but also for anyone willing to learn and be a part of the next chapter for data 
and AI - it's really special," said Luca Maria Aiello, Senior Research 
Scientist at Nokia Bell Labs. "When watching Data Science Pioneers, I couldn't 
help but think about how it will help people around the world better connect to 
build more ethical, more sustainable, and more human AI solutions."

Dataiku embarked on the journey to make Data Science Pioneers a reality after 
seeing over and over again with their more than 250 customers the 
misunderstandings that often exist between data scientists - the people in the 
data trenches day after day - and executives or other parts of the business 
with a vision for what data science (and ultimately AI) should be and should 
look like.

"We created this film to inspire and delight not only data scientists, who 
hopefully will see their own triumphs and struggles reflected in the 
documentary, but also those who don't know or understand the world of the data 
scientist," said Florian Douetteau, Dataiku, CEO. "A data scientist isn't just 
one type of person with one type of educational background working on narrow 
problems on an ivory tower. And at Dataiku, we believe that having a global 
transparency and understanding into who data scientists really are, what they 
do, and what role they have to play in the future will help steer a more 
positive and productive path for the AI revolution."

Dataiku will be hosting several premiere events globally, bringing the film to 
major cities across the world including New York, London, Amsterdam, Sydney, 
and Paris. Exclusive screenings will also be held at corporate offices for 
companies as a whole or data science teams.
