Artificial intelligence may be getting the attention, but AI is only as reliable as the data behind it
About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of a robust national data ecosystem for effective decision-making and trustworthy AI.
Questions about federal data have increasingly moved from the margins of government policy to the center of it. A new report argues that the United States needs a stronger national data ecosystem if it hopes to support effective decision-making, trustworthy artificial intelligence, and a well-informed public. Joining me to walk through their recommendations are Richard Coffin, chief of research and advocacy at USAFacts, and Joel Gurin, president and founder of the Center for Open Data Enterprise.
