SAS Virtual Fridays - Thriving in the Never Normal #5 with Tom Van De Weghe and Fijoy Vadakkumpadan SAS Podcast

In this last podcast, Peter asks two experts, Tom Van de Weghe and Fijoy Vadakkumpadan, to share their view on the current infodemic. Today, one cannot even be sure of what’s real and what not. Where (most) media used to inform us, we are now bombarded with disinformation through social media.

So that’s why for this podcast we invited Tom Van de Weghe, journalist for Belgian national television and AI expert, explaining the roots of the problem and how individuals and companies can battle fake news.

Next to Tom, Fijoy Vadakkumpadan, manager Computer Vision at SAS, talks about the interpretation of information and how it can be used for decisioning. He offers cases and examples and shares how organizations have used data science to battle disinformation, inside and outside their structures.
