    Episode 120: [Value Boost] The AI Silent Correctness Problem

    AI hallucinations get all the attention. But hallucinations are relatively easy to catch because the output is obviously wrong. The failure mode that should worry data scientists more is when the agent uses facts that are true to draw conclusions that are false, producing outputs that look perfectly fine. This is known as silent correctness. In this Value Boost episode, Jia Huang joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to explore why silent correctness is the most dangerous failure mode in agentic AI systems and what data scientists can do to catch it before it causes serious harm. You'll discover: Why silent correctness is harder to catch than a hallucination [04:17]Why sampling and auditing are non-negotiable in agentic systems [07:09]Four techniques data scientists can use to catch silent failures [09:28]The one safeguard every agentic AI system should have [11:10]Guest Bio Jia Huang is a lead research engineer at A*STAR, Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research, and is the author of multiple books on AI engineering and agent design, including Designing AI Agents and RAG from First Principles. His work focuses on turning agentic AI from impressive demos into reliable, auditable, and value-producing engineering systems.

    Episode 119: Rewiring Your Data Science Thinking for the Agentic AI Era

    The shift to agentic AI doesn't make data science skills obsolete. But it does require data scientists to rewire how they think about familiar concepts, such as uncertainty, model evaluation and accountability, in their work. In this episode, Jia Huang joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to explore what that rewiring actually looks like, and why data scientists are better placed than almost any other profession to make it. You'll discover: Why data scientists are better prepared for the agentic AI era than they might think [03:00]How the data scientist's role is shifting from analyst to system designer [06:37]The three types of uncertainty in agentic AI systems [11:58]Why context engineering is the new feature engineering [23:19]Guest Bio Jia Huang is a lead research engineer at A*STAR, Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research, and is the author of multiple books on AI engineering and agent design, including Designing AI Agents and RAG from First Principles.

    Episode 118: [Value Boost] Compounding Your Data Science Authority Beyond Blog Posts

    A well-written blog post gets you noticed. But for data scientists who want to build authority that compounds over time, it's just the beginning. Every piece of writing is a potential stepping stone to something bigger - a conference talk, a book deal, or an opportunity you couldn't have anticipated. In this Value Boost episode, Cynthia Dunlop joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to explore how data scientists can convert blog writing into bigger opportunities and what it actually takes to make the leap from blog post to book. You'll discover: How conference organisers actually find their speakers — and why blogging is the answer [02:35]How acquisitions editors scout for authors and why you don't need a huge following [03:39]The low risk way to find out if you're ready to write a book [06:57]How each new opportunity compounds the authority you've already built [08:10]Guest Bio Cynthia Dunlop is the co-author of Writing for Developers and Senior Director of Content Strategy at ScyllaDB. She has co-authored four books for software developers and tech leaders and authored hundreds of articles for publications including TechCrunch, IEEE Computer, and The New Stack.

    Episode 117: Writing Your Way to Authority as a Data Scientist

    For data scientists who want to build authority beyond their organisation, writing is one of the most powerful tools available. But in a world flooded with AI-generated content, simply publishing is no longer enough. The data scientists who stand out are the ones writing things no AI could have written. In this episode, Cynthia Dunlop joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to share practical frameworks for writing blog posts that stand out, build genuine authority and actually get read. You'll discover: Why AI-generated content has made personal experience more valuable than ever [05:10]The three Ps test for finding topics you can write about with genuine authority [08:56]The blog post patterns that work best for demonstrating expertise [11:03]How to use AI to improve your writing without letting it replace your voice [16:33]Guest Bio Cynthia Dunlop is the co-author of Writing for Developers and Senior Director of Content Strategy at ScyllaDB.

    Episode 116: [Value Boost] What Data Scientists Need to Know Before the AI Free Ride Ends

    Right now, AI is cheap. But the companies providing it are losing billions of dollars a year and are expected to go public within the next 12 months. When they do, the price of intelligence is going up - and any organisation that has built its AI future entirely on rented intelligence is going to face a very unpleasant surprise. In this Value Boost episode, Nicholas Kelly joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to explore why organisations shouldn't be building their AI future entirely on frontier models, and what data professionals need to understand to be the strategic voice in the AI infrastructure conversation. You'll discover:1. Why relying entirely on frontier AI models is a strategic error [02:00]2. How the economics of AI are about to change [03:34]3. The case for owning at least some of your AI infrastructure [07:53]4. What data professionals need to know to become the strategic voice in AI infrastructure decisions [11:02] Guest Bio Nicholas Kelly is the co-founder and Chief AI Architect of Delivering Data Analytics, a consultancy that helps organisations turn data, BI, analytics, and AI into confident decisions people actually act on.

    Episode 115: Evolving Your Data Career for the AI Era

    The AI era presents a choice for data professionals: wait to see what happens to your role, or get ahead of it and decide what it becomes. Nicholas Kelly made that choice two years ago, when a client told him ChatGPT could do 50% of what he did. What followed is a masterclass in proactive career evolution. In this episode, Nick joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to explore how data professionals can evolve their skills for the AI era, what that evolution looks like in practice, and why their existing expertise puts them in a stronger position than they might think. You'll discover:1. How Nick evolved from dashboard consultant to AI architect [02:35]2. Why the data team's role is staying the same even as everything around it changes [06:43]3. How AI is enabling data professionals to build software that used to require a development team [12:11]4.
