"The main difficulty in having machine learning transform personalization is that it's very hard to get access to all of the data for a person." "We've shifted more into the age that people are creating things for free but are hoping to reap the rewards later." "Even if you've just started learning to code for three months, you can create an article that people go to when they start learning to code." "Now, people often expect everything to be free, because there's so much content on the internet." "Learners have the incentive to create this content because it helps them learn, helps them create a portfolio, increases their reputation."   Who You'll Hear Dirk Knemeyer, Social Futurist and Producer of Creative Next (@dknemeyer) Jonathan Follett, Writer, Electronic Musician, Emerging Tech Researcher and Producer of Creative Next (@jonfollett) Jessica Yung, Entrepreneur, (@JessicaYung17)   Join The Conversation Website & Newsletter: www.creativenext.org Twitter: @GoCreativeNext Facebook: /GoCreativeNext Instagram: @GoCreativeNext   Sponsors GoInvo, A design practice dedicated to innovation in healthcare whose clients are as varied as AstraZeneca, 3M Health Information Services, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. www.goinvo.com Design Museum Foundation, A new kind of museum, they believe design can change the world.
