Data Radicals

Some people can see things that nobody else can. They seem to be able to peer around corners and into the future. These seemingly super powers come from being able to synthesize the data all around us. They approach problems with a curious and rational mind. They think differently and encourage others to embrace data culture. We call them “data radicals” because they transform themselves and the world around them In this podcast, we talk to these Data Radicals to understand what makes their approach so unique and how it can be replicated.

    Data Intelligence in Flux: The Impact of AI with Stewart Bond, VP at IDC

    About 15 years ago, organizations knew they needed data governance but faced a branding problem. People hated the term. Stewart Bond coined “data intelligence” to describe intelligence about data and shift the governance conversation – and a category was born. Today, data intelligence represents a $9B+ market. This concept has given rise to the "data intelligence stack," which includes data cataloging, data quality management, and data product hubs, all of which play vital roles in AI model development. Looking ahead, big changes are coming. IDC predicts that by 2028, the Chief Data Officer’s role will rival the CIO’s in shaping technology investments. In this episode, Satyen and Stewart dive into the components of data intelligence, the growing importance of data products, and key insights from IDC's recent MarketScape evaluation.

    AI and the Workforce: Copilots or Competitors? with Jeremy Kahn, AI Editor at Fortune

    The transformative potential of AI is going to affect all of us, regardless of what industry you’re in. While AI has the capability to democratize high-demand professions through specialized copilots, it also presents potential positive and negative societal impacts, including misinformation and political discourse manipulation. Today, we’re taking an in-depth look at the evolution of AI copilots tailored for specific professional fields and the need for critical thinking and transparent AI systems to ensure ethical deployment and improved outcomes in sectors like healthcare and finance. There’s a growing need for federal guidelines to prevent fragmented AI governance (think the EU AI Act). However, differing approaches to regulations across regions can lead to unbalanced directives. Politics are also influencing this new AI landscape. From potential deregulatory pushes under a Trump administration to sustained regulatory efforts under a Harris-led government, AI regulation will look different depending on who wins the US election. And it’s not just politics, total war is a significant worry when it comes to the use of AI. From military strategies to disrupting democracy, AI has the power to impact innovation, ethics, politics, and society. Satyen sits down with Jeremy to discuss his book Mastering AI, the importance of AI regulations, and the impact of AI on the job market.

    The AI Echo of Saul Alinsky's Legacy

    Saul Alinsky's book Rules for Radicals held significant lessons for grassroots movements and political activism when it was published in 1971. It also inspired the title and theme of this podcast. In his book, Saul outlines approaches for unifying people and motivating them to work toward a common goal. Today, these same strategies can be used for data culture change management, triggering transformative action within organizations. Saul was an American activist and political theorist who lived from 1909 to 1972. His work organized impoverished communities and gave them tools to drive social change, and won him national attention and notability. In the final episode of the season, Satyen sits down with a ChatGPT-infused version of Saul to discuss the role of data in driving social change, the application of community organization tactics in corporate settings, and the key principles from Rules for Radicals.
