DETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES:

• We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes. The shownotes are basically the podcast episode in written form, that you can read in 5-10 minutes. They are not transcriptions, but they are also not just surface-level overviews. They provide detailed insights and timestamps for each episode, and are great especially for later review, after you've already listened to an episode. Naturally, as great as they are, they do not cover absolutely everything in as great detail as we can do in a 45-90 minute podcast episode.
• The shownotes for today's episode can be found at www.scientifictriathlon.com/tts455/

LINKS AND RESOURCES:

• François' LinkedIn, ResearchGate and Instagram
• Towards Data Science - "The world’s leading publication for data science, AI, and ML professionals."
• Crash Course AI - very simple explanations of AI for laymen without prerequisite knowledge

WHAT SHOULD I LISTEN TO NEXT?

If you enjoyed this episode, I think you'll love the following episodes:

• Information, decision making, training and technology | EP#452(a key part of this episode is related to decision-making and evaluation of products and technologies, much of this would also be relevant for evaluating AI-based tools or even recommendations given by AI-based tools)

You can find our full episode archives here, where you can filter for categories such as Training, Racing, Science & Physiology, Swimming, Cycling, Running etc.

You can also find separate archives for specific series of episodes I've done, specifically Q&A episodes, TTS Thursday episodes, and Beginner Tips episodes.
