When describing a product as "data-driven" or "fueled by machine learning," it can be difficult to parse a common, fundamental definition of what makes an application "intelligent." In this talk, we will cover how you can peel back the buzzwords from the space of data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. You will be able to:

- Start sketching your own frameworks for understanding and evaluating these products

- Better understand when things go wrong

- Learn what design questions to ask before your systems go haywire

- Know what questions to ask product vendors, and have a better understanding of their answers
