𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 — 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻 is entering a bold new chapter.

As we celebrate 𝟭𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 of building one of the most trusted communities in applied AI and … we’re evolving.

Meet 💖 AI Loves Data 💖 — the next iteration of our values-driven, practitioner-first movement.

This isn’t just a rebrand. It’s a reflection of how much the industry has changed — and how much we’ve grown with it.

When I started DSS back in 2016, “𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲” still felt niche. There weren’t many spaces that centered real-world applications, authentic connection, and technical depth — especially with inclusion at the forefront.

Ten years later, this community has become 225,000+ strong. And while the technology has evolved dramatically (hello and intelligent agents!), our mission hasn’t: create spaces where ideas are shared, voices are elevated, and trust is built across the ecosystem.

𝗔𝗜 🩷𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 is here to carry that torch forward — louder, bolder, and built for what’s next.

We’re still vendor-neutral. We’re still community-led. And we’re still committed to bringing together the humans behind the systems — across finance, healthcare, retail, media, government, and beyond.

From virtual workshops and meetups to summits in NYC, Austin, SF, and Miami — we’re just getting started.

Thank you for believing in this vision. And thank you to the entire DSS/ALD community for helping us grow into something bigger than we ever imagined.

We’ll see you in Austin on Feb 18 to kick things off.
And yes — the AI Loves Data site and official PR is coming next week!
