933: Future-Proofing Your Career in the AI Era, feat. Sheamus McGovern

Author: Jon Krohn October 21, 2025 Duration: 1:15:10
Sheamus McGovern, CEO of Open Data Science, takes Jon Krohn and his listeners on a journey to launching his popular data science and AI conference, now in its tenth year, as well as the great shifts to the fields that he has seen on the way. For Seamus, the growth of his Open Data Science Conference has shown him that an AI engineer is just the beginning of several roles that will emerge from the industry. He asks Jon to consider the breadth of tasks demanded of today’s engineers, from data profiling and transformation to feature engineering, hyper-parameter tuning, and model deployments. Just as the AI engineer emerged from the data scientist role, Seamus expects the industry to respond to the broadening range of projects and tools with new, niche, and dynamic job roles.  This episode is brought to you by the Trainium2, the latest AI chip from AWS, by Gurobi⁠⁠, by ⁠Dell⁠ and by ⁠Intel⁠.
