The AI explosion has led to non-stop hype cycles as the technology continues to develop. But AI is only as good as the data behind it. The threat of lousy data is bad AI. Andrew Brust, Founder and CEO of Blue Badge Insights, joins The AI Forecast to discuss the AI hype–and how to prevent what he calls an “artificial Charlatan” of bad AI. He emphasizes the dependent relationship between data and AI and the former’s role in the success of the latter. Specifically, he addresses the data governance conundrum, and why in order for data technology to be successful, it has to be fun.

More data exists than ever before – in fact, IDC predicts worldwide data will grow 61% by 2025.
