An architect by trade, and an entrepreneur at heart, Angela talks about her previous experience with IBMs Watson AI and her knack for taking vast amounts of data and using it to create actual products. She goes into the intricacies of finding out how people make decisions, based on the available data, and using that knowledge to create more advanced AI that can perform at much higher standards. In Angelas own words, it comes down to presenting the gathered data in a way that provides immediate insight and allows shot-callers to act on it. The conversation quickly turns toward the real-world challenges associated with integrating insights gleaned from big data into everyday products. Angela drops a bit of a bombshell, or what she would term almost a heretical viewpoint in her circles, about the importance of having good data vs. an excellent AI with limited information to act upon. Angelas philosophy can be summed up in an eye-opening statement: Data is the new oil, but do you know how to refine it? If you want to learn more about using data to answer the right questions and overcoming all the challenges involved, be sure to give this one a listen.
