"Edsel and Eleanor, they had, you know, threats extortion against them before they moved here to the estate. Their property on Jefferson Avenue had broken into and jewelry was stolen. There were kidnap threats against the children. You know, so this needed to be very a safe place for the family. And the staff understood that and they, you know, kept things quiet and they just made sure that they were here taking care of the estate but also protecting the family. I don't remember if it's a Tudor design but I know the house was basically designed or maybe even brought over from the UK. I don't remember which but it's certainly in that kind of unique style. Did they actually bring people from Europe to work on the estate as well? So the house is in a Tudor revival style but it is designed after the Cotswolds in England and pieces of antique houses like windows, doors, paneling, wood flooring. Those were actually salvaged from manor homes in England and brought over and put into the house but a lot of the staff were first generation immigrants. You think about the time period, the teens and the 20s, there was mass influx of people coming from Europe and elsewhere, coming to Detroit to work in the auto industry and the four hired people from Sweden, Ireland, Scotland, Armenia, Romania, so just all over the place. Well and you mentioned that there are oral histories being presented exhibit. Do you hear from them? Any comments about what they felt about the family or about their unique jobs working for this family? Yes, there are some descriptions about what their daily tasks, what their daily schedule looks like and how they interacted with the family and how they felt about the Fords, so that is definitely included in there. We don't have a lot of information on some of the staff so I've been doing digging into like familysearch .org so looking at immigration records and World War I registration cards and census records so you can sort of pick out little histories of where people came from and where they went if they moved on and what was going on with their families at the time Yeah, any idea how many might have worked at one time at the estate? I'm trying to think we have a 1929 Christmas list for bonuses and there were probably about 35 or 40 people on that but that they They also contracted out work so sometimes they quote -unquote borrowed workers from Ford Motor Company to come over and do projects and interesting a couple years ago we got Got an email from an older gentleman in Denmark and he said my father worked at Ford House on the ground and we could not find any information about him at all although he had So we knew he had worked here but I found a random entry in the 1920s that said the boards reimbursed him for picking up other staff and driving them to the estate. fun it's well the it just is such a great place to visit you do get the feeling what it must have been like to be Edsel and Eleanor Ford and that home is so beautiful the entire state's beautiful the new Elkem Center is really incredible so this this exhibit making it work is now at the Gawkler Point Gallery inside the new Welcome Center and that is open to the public without admission by the way which is pretty pretty incredible so check out it the website is fordhouse .org you'll get more information there fordhouse .org our thanks to Lisa Worley for being with us today I can't believe it but it's that time Already we've run out of time and I'm looking forward to talking with you next week.

All right, really, no late delays for Now, now. knock on wood on the beltway in Virginia between Alexandria and McLean. The interloop's a little heavy, as usual, from about 236 up toward Gallows Road. 395 reports of some debris southbound near Edsel Road reported along the left side. Look at that delay out of Lorton, though, going 95 southbound, headed toward Dale City, purely volume. So far, nothing to report. Northbound had been heavy. Last gasp was slowing near Woodbridge. 66, you're good to east go out of Gainesville all the way toward Roslyn. Watch for, again, potentially some work on the ramp from 66 west to go north on 28. Utility crews in Springfield blocked the Backlick Road northbound. activity up near Floyd Avenue from an earlier crash. All right, you're going to find in Maryland we'd had crews running into Gaithersburg. It was a sweeping crew going south on 270 along the right side. Route 1 in Elkridge, you've got work up Route near 100. Northbound blocking the left side, southbound blocking the right side. 108 east of Norwood Road. It's a work zone with traffic alternating. There was a crash in Bethesda late on 355, headed northbound near Lane.

". Keep it here on WTO P, the top stories always add 17 and 47. Traffic and weather is on the H, Carlos Ramirez is in the so far relatively quiet WTO traffic center. Let's keep it that way. Indeed, you know, I'll often tell this story once I asked a police officer about whether or not they had some incidents out there and he said, you know what? I have nothing, but that tells us that everyone's home safe. And I'm okay with that. One exception to this rule tonight, the inner loop of the beltway between route 7 and one 93 there, Georgetown pike. You got that work zone, same one as last night. You just have that single lane over on the right hand side of the roadway, getting by. It's going to take a little bit to get past the initial crowding of it all as everybody tries to move over to the far right hand side. But once you're past the dulles toll road, it's basically a straight shot all the way up towards one 93. Just be careful, of course, of folks trying to get onto the inner loop because they all have to get into that single lane as well. 66 completely up to speed, no work zones know nothing. Northbound I 95 same story. Not seeing any slowdowns, you're welcome to prove me wrong, though, give us a call one 8 6 6 three O four, WTO. Northbound three 95 after edsel road, looks like they do have the right lane blocked as according to a listener that says they saw that the right lane was blocked there as you made your approach towards the little river turnpike and it seems like they might have the left lane blocked in the express lanes. In Maryland, a few work zones for you. If you're headed southbound on the BW Parkway past one 95, they got the left lane blocked there. Route one, just after 100, you got the left lane block there as well. And 50. If you're headed out towards the bay bridge, no issues on the westbound side, however, sounds like there may be an incident at the interchange between Martin Luther King Jr. highway and route 50 don't have it in camera, but hearing reports a little chatter over the scanner. So be careful in that area as well. Carlos Ramirez, WTO be traffic. Thanks Carlos now to 7 news first alert meteorologist Mark Pena. It's a little chilly out there.

All right, the crash is on three 95 northbound north of edsel road south to duke street, right by the entrance to the express lanes, traffic squeezing by single file left essentially using the left shoulder as a result of heavy response to seeing not unclear how many cars are involved, but there's more than a couple, so please be careful. I did north on screen 95 again. The express lanes are open, you do get by without delay, you also do have access to the express lane entrance there that is right adjacent to that crash they kind of split it off so to allow you to move over to the right to get to that entrance, but again, if you're going to continue straight through, single file left using the left shoulder, get you by. Once you clear the crash, there's nothing else in your way getting up to and across the inbound 14th street bridge. Good news over in McLean, a water main break repairs look like they've been completed one 23 reopened both ways just north of the George Washington Parkway that have been closed since yesterday, as a result of that work.

How Ford Made the Worst Car Ever
"Edsel. Ford was born in eighteen ninety three in detroit. He grew up in the motor city before it was the motor city his entire childhood. He had a shotgun seat to watch his father. Henry ford build the automotive empire that shared his name. Big shoes big shoes. The shoes they say about big shoes to fill Edsel seem to share his dad's passions. He grew up tinkering with cars and learning everything. There was to know about engines and design and so looked up to his famous father. But unlike henry ford edsel was a kind man who enjoyed the finer things in life. He was stylish and aristocratic. In contrast to papa henry who famously hated anything frivolous or luxurious having a private chef at your camping trips. Yeah ron christie at your camping trips. Do we have to revisit the sixty-nine square no you don't have to get into him. Sixty nine hundred edison. But it happened one hundred percent for sure henry. Ford did sixty nine with thomas. Edison well for a more substantiate an example. Whenever henry visited edsels house edsel had to hide his fine wine collection. One want your dad to know that you had the good stuff. Do you guys have a wine collection. Not for very long. Yeah i've got a couple of wines. Why way me it was really bad. We're keeping that edsel believe that the ford motor company needed to look towards the future but his father was increasingly obsessed with the past for instance. Anyone who mentioned decommissioning. The model t was fired. Why would you even think about doing that if you're like yeah well at. This point is pretty old car although their relationship was what we might call today. Toxic henry ford still taught us on how to run the company. Henry ford started the ford motor company in nineteen. Oh three and in one thousand nine hundred henry step down and name president of the company

Artificial Intelligence in Industry
Pitfalls to Avoid for the ROI of AI
"This is Dan a Angela. You're listening to a in industry. Last week. We heard from Song Car Iranian chief practice officer of Fratelli analytics. This is a Unicorn Company. A giant firm focused on a consulting analytics consulting with large organizations this week we speak with someone with a similar background ground but at a much smaller firm Dr Charles Martin runs a company called calculation insulting Dr Charles is a bit of a mentor of mine when it comes to a knowledge even speaking to him about our business here at emerged for three plus years and Charles joins us in this month's theme on the Roi of Artificial Intelligence Charles Cassini inside of big companies like black rock on enlarge media firms in you name it in a number of different machine learning oriented projects for ten years running and Charles speaks for this this week about the particular pitfalls to getting to our lied he speaks at length about some of the cultural elements within enterprises that make it so hard to focus on the aspects of ai that are ultimately going to lead us to seeing the return Charles is quite a character and we go off in all kinds of different directions. His brain gene works in in funky ways and so we go off on one tangent run off into another tangent. That's just Kinda how my conversation with Charles so be a little bit prepared for that but it's an awfully awfully fun episode and if you're tuned in an listening closely you'll pick up on some very important. kind of cultural trends that you'll need to be ready for the fact of the matter. Is this if you are prepared for the cultural hurdles for some of the team collaboration challenges that are inevitable bringing. Ai To life in the enterprise you are going going to have a better chance of getting our y point blank period and Charles articulates them at length and with color in this episode here on a industry so without further ado you. Let's hop right in so Charles I wanted to kick off with cer- thinking about the factors mean to consider before pulling the trigger on a I project before diving into an initiative the what should business leadership which the project team do well ahead of time to give themselves the best chance of seeing a return on a project. What would you kind of nutshell there you know I I think I would give the same advice that we get in a startup is that you need to figure out how you can test your assumptions functions as quickly as possible and to pivot is quickly as possible to be able to run different kinds of experiments to figure out? What's really going to work yet so it let me think about that? Maybe out loud here with you Charles in other words when we're kicking off an issue. It's not just okay. This is the goal that we're shooting for. It's this is the goal. Here's how we think we're GONNA get there. Does this involve a little bit of Plan B. Plan C. A number of different hypotheses. We could run with kind of having all of that on decks that that if we need to change direction we can do it in real time or what does that look like in Let me give you the alternative y'all is that you go out and you have some idea that some data's going to be useful and so you spend half a million dollars buying this data and then you spend six months trying to get your data the infrastructure in place and at the end of all this you find out that the data was useless and someone comes the data scientists and go well. Why doesn't this work and they just kind of looked at you puzzle go? Why would you think it would work you you? There's been no actual vetting of the actual project other than some sort of soft feeling that you have that this should work and I think that's the hardest part is that it's sort of the story of the Edsel you know that people went out thought they are and what you have is a lot of edsels. You're not getting in front of customers or in front of users. It's getting inside your own infrastructure and figuring out what you have ch- and it's a lot easier and a lot more enticing ver- ingineers especially. It people to want to build things than to want to solve problems so they will spend an enormous amount of time time building infrastructure setting up databases doing compliance all sorts of things everything that's safe because they already know how to do it and you're just just building something and you know how to scope but you know how to budget and you know how to staff for it and then when you get to the A. I. Part you're like well. We have all the infrastructure in place then you find lied out well. You didn't really think about what you had and it turns out that maybe maybe he didn't really look carefully at your data data and it turns out your data's of mass and it takes you months of just figuring out what's in your data or or maybe it turns out the idea you had just as fundamentally only not viable. We've we've had many projects like this. Someone comes to us and they want to do a project and we look at the data and they're just like we're you know you're just going to build features and build a model built features. There's and build a model we look at the data we go. This is not a viable idea and if you look at it you could see immediately that this isn't GonNa fly and I think that's the hardest part and so you need to figure out how to design a process within your organization where you can avoid all of the process that you already have house. You can start running experiments here. Here's another another good problem another issue that comes up a lot of organizations especially. It organizations are designed around automation automation compliance governance. They want things to run into end automatically and so you start working on a project and you've got an idea of you built a modern you and you might take you like a week to build a model. Maybe it's not that complicated model as it takes six months to get this thing into production why well because you're inside the. It department is insisting that the entire product be run into end within your it infrastructure well I he's he's been around for twenty years and so the infrastructure is quite mature and Y- There's compliance issues around the data and you have to have automated build systems and automated deploy systems and it turns out that it turns that you're not really set up to do that yet. You're automated. Systems are not designed nice to roll out this new product and so it's kind of like saying the analogy matching of a factory in the factory. Make some kind of widget and you WanNa make something new. You know you WANNA make some new toy your toy company toy but you don't really know if the children are going to like it you gotta figure out how could you make a hundred little toys Oy. Give him out to your customers and tested before you spend six months retrofitting your factory and the same thing problem and it I- shops the problem is that the it world wants delivery but data science is not about delivery. It's about discovery discovery. Okay another this okay you might if we poke into this Charles Life. That's more than a lot to unravel here. I know the audience is GonNa want to catch up with so yes yeah so the delivery versus discovery is a very interesting dynamic. It's a that's a nice nutshell. You know it's sort of like you have emphasized the. Ai Is not it deal you know we have kind of the probabilistic versus the the more if then type of scenario this is another lens on it the delivery it versus discovery avary and I think one of the things that would be useful to unravel for the audience would be what are these assumptions. What are these assumptions that maybe people don't realize our assumption so the way that I see this when you're articulating Charleston I want to kind of make this into a couple of actionable bullets for for the folks tuned in would be as we're imagining our? Ai Project we're thinking through okay. I believe that this data trained in this kind of way with this kind of a model would be able to decrease are false positives or would be able to recommend commend better products that might improve our car value by X. percent or something like that whatever the case may be what we'd have to do is essentially look at what we're going to try and ask ourselves in a very harsh light here and preferably with data scientists in the room. I think a lot of these mistakes are made when it's just the C. Suite laying out how this is GonNa work we get data scientists in the room mm-hmm and we say which of these things that that we're GonNa think are going to happen here or completely hypotheses and maybe we're never going to have one hundred a percent of a proper guests on the upfront but can we maybe come up with a better set of hypotheses. Is there a better data set we could start with. We don't know it's going to work but maybe we could begin with a better hypothesis so is it. Is it worth sort of assessing here's what we want to roll out. Here's all the all the assumptions that underpin that whether we think their assumptions are not here's all the assumptions that underpin that data scientists scientists and business people to pick those apart and then say are any of these blatantly stupid or can any of these be tested in very small ways that we feel good about releasing these funds is this kind of what you're getting at is. Is there a better more high level way yeah go ahead kind of but the here's the problem with that we've had projects go into a company and we have a very very simple product. We want to produce something you want to improve the accuracy wouldn't build some classify or some predictor as look you gotta give me your data and you gotTa give me two weeks seeks minimum to just look at the data and what happens is they come in and the first thing they want to do is have this hypothesis session but they're not hypotheses their conjectures because a hypothesis in the scientific method requires that you I have looked at some data we make hypothesis. This is based on things you've seen so it's not a hypothesis if you haven't actually looked at anything yet conjecture just wild speculation and what happens is you go into a planning meeting and people have all sorts of ideas of things it would like to try all we can do this so we can do that we could. It's like you know you're it's not they're not functional ideas because you haven't really thought about what the date is actually telling you and I think this is one of the hardest things to grasp and it's very hard because what happens in any organization is larger Oreo especially now because or now we're starting to see I A- carrying larger organizations tend to think about how people in large organizations thank you know when the manager or the or the or the business leader comes in and says something well. They're gonNA do whatever that person says irrespective of whether it's a good idea or not because they're trying to basically do their job and cover themselves so they're not going thank you and and and they're not gonNA think okay I need to go out and take some risk and I need to try to guess what we need to do anything to try to look at the date on prophesized something. They're gonNA be much more comfortable if someone tells them. Here's what I want you to do and you do it because they're going to be more secure in their jobs. It's just the nature of how how large organizations work many times you know when we've done. Ai Project that they think what's changed is that if you were to talk to me about a I even five years ago I would say well. This is mostly being done within the innovation groups of a company but now what we're finding is you know you carve out some piece of the company which is isolated needed from all the other processes and by carving that out you're not burdened by the processes or the management structure but now we're starting to see I happened inside of companies just inside the company. Everyone wants to be. I every company is trying to be an I look it's all Google and facebook talk about as ai yes.
