  • From Dashboards to Decisions: Automating Insight with Experimental Data Science and Removing Bias

    I often see people using the terms dashboards and insights interchangeably. They are not the same. Dashboards answer the “what” questions: “Revenue is up (or down) by X% this month,” “Daily Active Users is Y,” etc. Dashboards provide a way to display information (not raw data). In other words, dashboards visualize structured and aggregated data

  • Why Quality Data Matters for AI and ML Models

    While AI/ML models continue to evolve, the next significant challenge is acquiring quality data. When I talk about data quality, I’m not just referring to data that has been cleaned, de-duplicated, network-complete, or validated. I also mean data enriched with metadata that provides the deeper context necessary for effective model training. Unfortunately, there is a

  • The Importance of Data Licensing in an AI World

    Does AI have a data problem? Yes, it does. The problem arises in several areas. Legal Companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Microsoft are being sued by various parties, including corporations (e.g., The New York Times) and individuals (e.g., Sarah Silverman), for using their content to train AI models and profit from them. An interesting

  • From Evidence-Driven Childhood to AI Leadership: A Data Journey

    I grew up in an “evidence-driven” household. My earliest memories are of my father and me walking around and looking for “evidence” related to whatever we were focusing on at the time. Most of the time, it was Mathematics, particularly geometry. I later formally “learned” about concepts like Fibonacci numbers and spirals, perfect squares; we

  • Benefits and Challenges of Using Synthetic Data for AI Model Training

    AI Model training requires vast amounts of data which are normally not readily available. As such, generating data sets artificially has become a need and an enterprise in itself. There are many pros and cons to using synthetic data, but let’s start with a definition: “A synthetic data set is any data set that represents
