Topic: AI – Handle with Care
In the era of artificial intelligence, the axiom ‘garbage in, garbage out’ has never been more relevant. Starting with AI’s original purpose, this presentation explores AI from a data management perspective. While immediately useful, it also highlights significant cautions including over promising and under delivering, technological limitations, data limitations, and ethical concerns. Understanding these will permit data management professionals (and others) to create a virtuous cycle of better data leading to more capable AI systems. The talk finishes with a response from none other than Bob Dylan.
