One of the most significant areas of Data Ethics concern is bias in generative AI models. Concerns about algorithmic bias are not new. Associative model (i.e. neural network) bias is not new. Even the ceding of consequential decisions to these models is not new. Just a few examples: AI is Read more…
This is the second installment of a two-part series about the impact of AI on information management. The first covered Data Quality and Metadata Collection. Data Modeling Nobody at your company is more passionate about understanding the data than your Data Modelers. Unfortunately, too often their work products, while admired Read more…

At their core, these areas have changed very little over the past thirty years. Most advances have been beneficiaries of Moore’s Law: faster processing, Read more…
Recent advances in large language models have reignited interest in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). It’s coming soon! Just like it has every couple of decades since the 1950s. But the trajectory of recent successes make it seem more plausible this time. It doesn’t help that AGI is a nebulous concept. Read more…
We expect computers to be perfect. We usually don’t give it a second thought. We expect the document opened today to look exactly the same as it did when it was saved last night. We expect the data inserted in a database to be returned when queried. That is unless Read more…
A popular perception of artificial intelligence comes from the Menacing Computer movie genre. Skynet becomes self-aware and seeks to exterminate humanity. HAL9000 kills Discovery’s crew when they plan to disconnect it. Joshua wants to play a game of Global Thermonuclear War. And we’re all trapped in the matrix. Yes, there Read more…
