Data for good? Well, there’s not much data for bad, right? So notes Daniel Castro of Information Technology Innovation Foundation. He joined long-time industry Analyst and all-around smart guy John Ladley, plus Eric Polet of Arcitect in this exploration of the many ways in which data helps humanity. Topics covered include healthcare, Large Language Models, and also… a personal favorite of Ladley and Host @eric_kavanagh, mortgage-backed securities!

Policies were made to be broken. Users don't like to read instructions. And ChatGPT is a giant black box. What's the worst that could happen?
Find out on this episode of DM Radio, as Host @eric_kavanagh interviews three DataVengers who will speak at the Data Universe Conference in New York next week: Kate Strachnyi of DATAcated, Scott Taylor, the Data Whisperer, and George Firican of LightsOnData! And be sure to stop by the DataVengers Booth!

Can you speak data? If so, you are data literate! It's an incredibly valuable skill in the modern world, and it involves much more than knowing the difference between rows and columns. Data literacy means having the ability to understand, work with, analyze, and communicate with data. This includes skills like finding reliable data sources, interpreting charts and graphs, spotting trends, and using data to support decisions.

What does that mean for you? Check out this special episode of DM Radio to find out! Host @eric_kavanagh will interview two experts: Data Warrior, Kent Graziano, now an independent consultant and industry analyst; and data literacy guru, Jordan Morrow of AgileOne! Attendees will learn best practices for improving their data literacy, and could win a free pass to the Data Universe Conference slated for April 10-11 in New York City!

As the biggest technology shift since the Internet, GenAI continues to shatter traditional mindsets about how work should be done. Engines like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude can not only generate compelling text and imagery, they can perform complex tasks like ETL, the bread-and-butter of data transformation and integration. But the sands keep shifting, and hallucinations are hard to prevent. What's the solution?

Listen to this special DM Radio Virtual Summit to find out! Industry Analyst Yves Mulkers of 7wData will open with a 20-min keynote about the opportunities and risks of GenAI, a teaser of the workshop he's designing for corporate training. Host @eric_kavanagh will explain why RAG models will dominate the management and use of GenAI, encompassing governance, security and even data quality. A panel discussion will then ensue, including Michael Gilfix of KX, and David Sweenor, Author of Tiny Tech Guides, who will speak at the upcoming Data Universe Conference in New York, April 10-11.
