Data Engineering is the plumbing of data science. Almost invisible, but super important and a big mess when done wrong. We talk about interesting Data Engineering trends and topics. I also train Data Engineering in my Data Engineering Academy at LearnDataEngineering.com

#125 AI Hype vs. Reality – with Christina Stathopoulos

In this episode, I’m joined by Christina Stathopoulos, a former Googler who now works independently as a data & AI evangelist, trainer, and advisor.

Not only did we talk about her path from data engineering into data science, and eventually into teaching and strategic consulting. We also covered:

Why many companies still struggle with data & AI basics
The hype vs. reality of generative AI (and how to cut through the noise)
Why soft skills like communication, critical thinking, and storytelling are underrated in tech
How regulation in Europe might be slowing things down, and why AI won’t wait for borders
The difference between online and in-person learning (and why human connection still matters)

and much more!

All in all: A thoughtful, honest conversation full of insights on AI, data culture, and the human side of technology.
