DataX is renamed DataAI

Nice! I created a new program at the college called Data Analysis & AI Specialist (DAAS) that essentially maps to the content in DataX, and we bundle the DataX certification with the program. So, this renaming aligns it more closely with our program title

Universities are integrating AI into courses as a component of curricula, even non-tech stuff. Making that connection for the certs is the next step. CompTIA has the SecAI, I'm guessing they'll get something like a NetworkAI & CloudAI which AICerts already have.

we are living in the AI era - cant rule this out

Yeah, changing the name of certifications over and over and over, to me, is just confusing for people who actually need to understand what the certification is about. I see this more of a Marketing thing, trying to capitalize on the "AI" buzz. Yes, there is a closer draw with Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and all that with Data management - no dispute there.

But now the question is, is DataAI an "expert" level or not? Those who know the cert, yes, can answer the question. But a couple years ago, there seemed to be this push to make "+" certs more for practitioners and "X" certs for Experts. Now it's a bit more obfuscated.

And changing the name of a cert does have a big effect on taking away its market recognition - in a time when I think CompTIA has to maintain that for its own survival.

That's the annoying thing about Skynet; it's the latest tech cash cow, which, is proving to be very expensive as well.

OMG. Another name change to keep up with.
