  2. 0:06excited this is a show that has been a
  3. 0:09long time coming uh excited to have uh
  4. 0:12David with us David HRA woan and I hope
  5. 0:15I got that pronunciation you did perfect
  6. 0:18jie uh David's a a tech expert educator
  7. 0:21and strategist with a passion for AI
  8. 0:24cyber security and data governance he's
  9. 0:26also a lecturer University of Texas and
  10. 0:28serves on the boarded
  11. 0:30htri David serves as the principal
  12. 0:33adviser at Informatica advising
  13. 0:35customers on AI ready strategy uh to to
  14. 0:39get them we're going to dive into so
  15. 0:41much that he's experienced around AI his
  16. 0:44background includes roles at deoe Grant
  17. 0:47Thorton and Dell where he help
  18. 0:49businesses harness data mitigate risks
  19. 0:52and stay ahead of the curve he's also an
  20. 0:54active Mentor speaker and author sharing
  21. 0:56his insights on everything from data
  22. 0:58privacy to resp responsible AI so get
  23. 1:01ready to dive into the world of data and
  24. 1:04Innovation with David now here's the
  25. 1:06disclosure part of this show the views
  26. 1:09and opinions expressed by David on this
  27. 1:11show are solely His Own do not reflect
  28. 1:15the official policy acquisition of
  29. 1:17Informatica University of Texas at
  30. 1:19Austin or any other organizations he's
  31. 1:22affiliated with these are purely his
  32. 1:24thoughts and his personal take on things
  33. 1:28so um want that out out there right away
  34. 1:30so all of that David welcome to Sweet
  35. 1:34speak thank you very much J excited to
  36. 1:36be here today and we're gonna focus on
  37. 1:39the AI data wall so you may be tuning in
  38. 1:43and go okay JD what the heck is the AI
  39. 1:46data wall my question for you let's
  40. 1:48start off what is that AI data wall and
  41. 1:51why is it gaining attention today yes
  42. 1:54well AI data wall is this uh notion that
  43. 1:59there will be a point when AI models can
  44. 2:03no longer improve because we've run out
  45. 2:05of data it's a wall we can't upscale it
  46. 2:09um and it can comes from multiple uh
  47. 2:12angles right it could be that the data
  48. 2:14is
  49. 2:15scarce all of the data that's been
  50. 2:17scraped that could have been used to
  51. 2:18train model have been scraped it could
  52. 2:21also mean that there's architectural
  53. 2:23limits even with the data that we have
  54. 2:26even if we could have acquired all the
  55. 2:28data that is in the world
  56. 2:30it is difficult to structure your
  57. 2:33software your Hardware such that you can
  58. 2:35learn from all that data there's
  59. 2:37infrastructural challenges there's not
  60. 2:39enough storage there's even some a
  61. 2:41couple years ago uh it's no longer here
  62. 2:43because um Mo's law and you know storage
  63. 2:46uh increase but there was a point when
  64. 2:48we said even if we could theoretically
  65. 2:50capture all of the data in the world do
  66. 2:52we have the hardware to be able to store
  67. 2:54all that and lastly is the human issue
  68. 2:57even if we have all of the data and we
  69. 2:59can't Lish all everything from Hardware
  70. 3:01software how about the humanware issues
  71. 3:04we still have ai literacy we still have
  72. 3:06trust issue and ethical concerns leading
  73. 3:09to poor adoption and data misuse all of
  74. 3:11this combined together creates this
  75. 3:13notion that there is going to be a wall
  76. 3:16through which we cannot go through
  77. 3:17unless we can go through that by
  78. 3:19increasing our data management
  79. 3:21capability and data governance uh
  80. 3:23disciplines we won't be able to improve
  81. 3:25and capitalize on
  82. 3:27AI so let's peel that
  83. 3:30a little bit so how does the AI data
  84. 3:33wall impact AI development and model
  85. 3:36performance so a lot of the AI companies
  86. 3:39now have been investing a lot of money
  87. 3:41into development and um 80% of the
  88. 3:44so-called model development comes from
  89. 3:47data cleaning the data getting the data
  90. 3:49uh sharing it augmenting it Etc and AI
  91. 3:53models will space diminishing returns at
  92. 3:56some point because adding more data may
  93. 3:59not not lead to better
  94. 4:01results unless we come up with new AI
  95. 4:04architecture which at this point uh
  96. 4:06that's that's going to be a couple years
  97. 4:08it will continue to happen but I think
  98. 4:09even within the current uh environment
  99. 4:12we are expecting some people have
  100. 4:14estimated Maybe by 20126 when some
  101. 4:16people expected more there's some
  102. 4:18development interestingly with deep seek
  103. 4:20R1 that illustrate as well as synthetic
  104. 4:22data that actually that wall is actually
  105. 4:24a little bit further out right um and
  106. 4:27even if we have all the data there's
  107. 4:29still bias issue generalization issue
  108. 4:31and scaling issues so in other words in
  109. 4:34short it will create um a diminishing
  110. 4:38return on your investment in Ai and data
  111. 4:41infrastructure unless you know how to do
  112. 4:43it right and it is the old adage right
  113. 4:46garbage in garbage out so at the end of
  114. 4:48the day you still have to all of the
  115. 4:50disciplines that we've learned about
  116. 4:52data management all of those are still
  117. 4:54relevant um you can use AI to help
  118. 4:56overcome some of those tasks but you
  119. 4:58still have to understand underlying
  120. 5:00principles of what good data management
  121. 5:02and governance
  122. 5:03means it's weird to think of a DA data
  123. 5:06wall with with AI because it seems so
  124. 5:10vast but I I'm curious which Industries
  125. 5:13or or or AI applications have already
  126. 5:16hit a data wall what are the
  127. 5:18consequences of that yes so we can kind
  128. 5:22of divide maybe into two major uh
  129. 5:25categories um there are industries that
  130. 5:28are much more data intens
  131. 5:30has been in the data game for a long
  132. 5:32time has a lot of regulations around it
  133. 5:35so I we think of healthcare banking uh
  134. 5:39some sectors of Life Sciences uh a
  135. 5:42portion of the you know geophysics etc
  136. 5:44those um disciplines already have pretty
  137. 5:48robust data
  138. 5:49infrastructure um they generally face
  139. 5:53more of the issue of how can they become
  140. 5:55better how can they make the people and
  141. 5:57process catch up with the technological
  142. 5:59side how do they make sure that
  143. 6:01regulations are updated in such a way
  144. 6:03that it doesn't prohibit Innovations
  145. 6:06okay and then there's the other side of
  146. 6:10the category which is the lager industry
  147. 6:13so these are Industries where data has
  148. 6:15not yet been digitized uh digitalization
  149. 6:18is still a long way progress uh sectors
  150. 6:21such as perhaps agriculture construction
  151. 6:24parts of energy uh these late adopting
  152. 6:28uh Industries are still dealing with uh
  153. 6:31operational technology challenges how
  154. 6:33can we capture the data using drones
  155. 6:35using cameras Etc um then there's also a
  156. 6:40third dimension that touches both of
  157. 6:42these categories which is data sharing
  158. 6:44which is an exciting one where you can
  159. 6:47allow people to share the AI training or
  160. 6:50AI Learning Without sharing the actual
  161. 6:52data and of course this is a big driver
  162. 6:55of innovation a lot of reasons why
  163. 6:57companies cannot just aggregate data
  164. 7:00which rightfully should be controlled is
  165. 7:02because of concern about data breach or
  166. 7:05confidentiality breach with some of
  167. 7:07these so-called privacy preserving data
  168. 7:09sharing and analytics you could share
  169. 7:11the AI Learning Without sharing the
  170. 7:13actual data so those are the type of
  171. 7:16Industries where um we may see impact as
  172. 7:20well as opportunities of data
  173. 7:22one so how do we ensure we have the
  174. 7:25right data to overcome these challenges
  175. 7:27that you're you're outlining
  176. 7:30yeah so I I'll um let me break it into
  177. 7:33perhaps four ways of looking at this
  178. 7:36okay um so first of all if we wanted to
  179. 7:39have the so-called right
  180. 7:41data the the definition of the right
  181. 7:44data uh has to do with relevance number
  182. 7:47one right so the diversity of the kind
  183. 7:49of data that you have um up until the
  184. 7:53era of generative AI most of the data
  185. 7:56engineering data management has been
  186. 7:57focused around structured data data that
  187. 8:00exists in your
  188. 8:01databases or semi structure data that
  189. 8:04are in Json files or in log files that
  190. 8:08are not necessarily tabular but still
  191. 8:11follows a particular pattern okay with
  192. 8:13the generative AI now we are we're
  193. 8:17having to capture a much broader set of
  194. 8:20data that are unstructured right uh
  195. 8:23videos images um you know text full text
  196. 8:28documents ET
  197. 8:30okay so that's the First Dimension um
  198. 8:32the second dimension of the so-called
  199. 8:33right data is whether or not people have
  200. 8:37the right to use that data okay so this
  201. 8:41has to do with privacy and intellectual
  202. 8:43property um organizations such as open
  203. 8:47AI for example and there is a actually
  204. 8:49well documented public uh showing of
  205. 8:51this when the CTO of open AI was
  206. 8:53interviewed by Wall Street Journal and
  207. 8:55asked how do you train the model the
  208. 8:58Sora model the video generation model
  209. 9:00and the CTO said in front of this is a
  210. 9:03public interview that's on YouTube uh
  211. 9:05it's using publicly available
  212. 9:06information and when the interviewer
  213. 9:08asked so like YouTube or you know which
  214. 9:11one and she said um I don't
  215. 9:14know so you know you know so the right
  216. 9:18data besides the type of data but also
  217. 9:21how do you acquire that data okay how do
  218. 9:23you assign attribution to the owner of
  219. 9:27the intellectual property that
  220. 9:28rightfully belongs to the people who
  221. 9:31whose data it is you know was captured
  222. 9:34okay then there is the quality so yes
  223. 9:37you have acquired the right type of data
  224. 9:40you have acquired it in the right way
  225. 9:42and now you have it all but it is in a
  226. 9:45raw format it is not high quality you
  227. 9:47need to apply data quality management
  228. 9:50you need to apply things such as data
  229. 9:52observability uh so that you can detect
  230. 9:55and correct biases errors and anomalies
  231. 9:57in real time and for the longest time
  232. 10:00data Engineers produce the D what they
  233. 10:02call data products they pass it on to
  234. 10:04the bi or AI data scientists and then
  235. 10:08you know they don't handle it from that
  236. 10:09point on with the AI era you don't just
  237. 10:12look at data as an input you also have
  238. 10:14to look at when that AI is passed
  239. 10:16through an inference AI model there's
  240. 10:18outputs and you have to compare the
  241. 10:20output to the input in order to figure
  242. 10:21out is the model effective you know is
  243. 10:24it starting to have a drift is it biased
  244. 10:27does it cross the threshold of anomaly
  245. 10:30so that you have to retrain the model
  246. 10:32okay and finally the I the last piece is
  247. 10:36the human the human oversight Active
  248. 10:38Learning um after doing all of that the
  249. 10:41so-called right data ultimately is data
  250. 10:45is that has passed through the lens of
  251. 10:47human oversight human interpretation and
  252. 10:50human decision and I was rewatching the
  253. 10:52movie Sully last night about you know
  254. 10:54the the pilot that landed in Hudson
  255. 10:56River and it's kind of interesting how
  256. 10:58in in the movie
  257. 11:00they challenged him using a simulation
  258. 11:02model said simulation computer
  259. 11:04simulation shows that you you should
  260. 11:05have been able to land and then they did
  261. 11:07a pilot testing where a pilot was trying
  262. 11:09to fly simulation but he said all of
  263. 11:12those are not human uh you know they
  264. 11:14were told what to do beforehand I was
  265. 11:16never prepared to do this this is the
  266. 11:18first time we have this
  267. 11:20unprecedented situation and if you want
  268. 11:23to find human errors make it human and
  269. 11:25so they did and they said all right now
  270. 11:27all the pilot simulation we will give
  271. 11:28you 35 seconds before you can react to
  272. 11:31account for the shock and when they did
  273. 11:34that suddenly everybody failed to land
  274. 11:37in in the airport that they prescrib so
  275. 11:38again that that so those are kind of the
  276. 11:40four dimensions of how you make sure
  277. 11:42that you're got you got your data right
  278. 11:44what world do synthe synthetic data play
  279. 11:47in overcoming this AI data wall oh
  280. 11:50synthetic data is an exciting thing as
  281. 11:53as well as a scary thing right so the
  282. 11:55concept of synthetic data is that you
  283. 11:57can use AI to to generate fake data that
  284. 12:02mimics the original data okay so if we
  285. 12:06let that sync in for a
  286. 12:08moment we will have a data wall where
  287. 12:12real data is run
  288. 12:13out but if you understand how to create
  289. 12:16synthetic data then you will never run
  290. 12:19out of data in
  291. 12:21theory however of course we know that
  292. 12:23the synthetic version of the data is not
  293. 12:25as good will never be as good will never
  294. 12:27be as real as the real
  295. 12:30data so does that mean that this is not
  296. 12:34a valid technique so this is where a lot
  297. 12:38of experts are on different sites and
  298. 12:40everybody has a great argument about
  299. 12:41this um in general synthetic data can
  300. 12:44help you enhance privacy because you
  301. 12:46don't use the real data so you prevent
  302. 12:48Reliance on the sensitive pii you can
  303. 12:52also improve model performance because
  304. 12:55for example for bias if you have a data
  305. 12:57and your population is majority
  306. 12:59population 90% of the data and minority
  307. 13:01populations all comprise only 10% of
  308. 13:03your data that's going to impact the
  309. 13:05accuracy and bias of the model so you
  310. 13:07use synthetic data to train up based on
  311. 13:10this little amount of data kind of
  312. 13:12increase it just enough to hit the
  313. 13:14threshold of
  314. 13:16stability um all of that is good and
  315. 13:19also there's some interesting research
  316. 13:21that shows that with synthetic data you
  317. 13:24could still have a good model
  318. 13:26performance even though in theory
  319. 13:29synthetic data degrades over time
  320. 13:31especially if you have synthetic data
  321. 13:32and then you have synthetic of synthetic
  322. 13:34data you know since open AI came to the
  323. 13:36picture since chat GPT become popular uh
  324. 13:39did you know that Google search
  325. 13:41performance has gone down because
  326. 13:44suddenly everybody's using chat GPT to
  327. 13:46generate synthetic information synthetic
  328. 13:51uh contents and publish it on the
  329. 13:52internet so now Google is figuring out
  330. 13:54oh wow suddenly there's a thousand times
  331. 13:57the number of articles about a
  332. 13:59particular subject and therefore the
  333. 14:01accuracy of its search has degradated
  334. 14:03right however if we take for example
  335. 14:05here's I'll just illustrate one example
  336. 14:08let's say the real data said if you
  337. 14:10apply heat to a piece of metal it will
  338. 14:13expand so that's a true statement real
  339. 14:16data you use synthetic data to generate
  340. 14:18the opposite of that and saying oh
  341. 14:20therefore if I apply Cod into a piece of
  342. 14:24metal it will contract and let's say
  343. 14:27that that is s it turns out that models
  344. 14:30can actually improve based on that even
  345. 14:33though that statement is not 100%
  346. 14:35accurate because there is you know not
  347. 14:36necessarily in metal but with water
  348. 14:38there is a thing called anomalies of
  349. 14:40water where it actually will violate
  350. 14:42that rule when the water is between zero
  351. 14:44and 4 degrees celsi okay but again aside
  352. 14:47from that so so even if the data is not
  353. 14:50100% accurate AI can learn from a second
  354. 14:53order knowledge so the relationship with
  355. 14:57these statements instead of the the this
  356. 14:59statements themselves is valuable to
  357. 15:03increase the intelligence level of the
  358. 15:06model so those are all kind of the
  359. 15:08opportunities with synthetic data to
  360. 15:10overcome AI data wall yeah
  361. 15:14interesting we when we talk data we
  362. 15:16always have to cover privacy ethical
  363. 15:20pitfalls so how should companies
  364. 15:21approach data collection today to to
  365. 15:24avoid that to avoid privacy to avoid you
  366. 15:27know the the ethical p that that are
  367. 15:31inherent yes
  368. 15:33um when you capture it starts from the
  369. 15:36point when you capture the data
  370. 15:38companies need to have transparency they
  371. 15:41need to explain to the end users of this
  372. 15:44data what is the purpose of capturing
  373. 15:47this information right so you have to
  374. 15:49have a not notice this privacy notice
  375. 15:51when you capture information you have to
  376. 15:53request their consent if you ever plan
  377. 15:56to use this data for purposes other the
  378. 15:59primary purpose right so there's a
  379. 16:01concept primary purpose if somebody's
  380. 16:03transacting with a company and they're
  381. 16:04entering their payment information
  382. 16:06that's the primary purpose they know
  383. 16:08they knowingly give the information so
  384. 16:10that they can complete the transaction
  385. 16:11but there is also secondary purposes
  386. 16:13meaning if the company then takes that
  387. 16:15data and use it for targeted advertising
  388. 16:17that is not the original purpose of
  389. 16:19somebody giving that data so that
  390. 16:21secondary you they have to request
  391. 16:23consent from customers on that secondly
  392. 16:26once you have that data you need to
  393. 16:28apply data minim ization you need to
  394. 16:30collect only the necessary data and
  395. 16:32nothing more and if you're leveraging AI
  396. 16:36you need to make sure that all of your
  397. 16:38AI infrastructure captures the data in
  398. 16:40such a way that it limits the exposure
  399. 16:42of that data to the real world okay so
  400. 16:45that's data minimization if you're
  401. 16:47training that on AI using that data then
  402. 16:51use privacy preserving techniques so it
  403. 16:53used to be everybody would just you know
  404. 16:55hey collect the data aggregate data and
  405. 16:56use it to train a large language model
  406. 16:58now nowadays uh in 2023 the White House
  407. 17:01issued a national strategy to promote
  408. 17:04privacy preserving data sharing and
  409. 17:06analytics it's a long word a long
  410. 17:09sentence ppds say for
  411. 17:11short and a part of that includes things
  412. 17:14such as Federated learning and synthetic
  413. 17:16data techniques that can allow you to uh
  414. 17:19perform analytics on anonymized data if
  415. 17:22you will and and the identified form of
  416. 17:24data and so nowadays uh in some of the
  417. 17:28you know important projects where you
  418. 17:30have large scale data collection
  419. 17:32especially for federal and state
  420. 17:34government um uh institutions are
  421. 17:36required to at least account for the use
  422. 17:39of these type of Technologies so in the
  423. 17:41old days you could just okay I'll
  424. 17:42collect everybody's data into one place
  425. 17:44and then I'll run whatever Master data
  426. 17:47matching or some kind of know AI machine
  427. 17:49learning but nowadays you should not
  428. 17:52just do it you should not take for
  429. 17:54granted the fact that you are able to
  430. 17:56apply Federated learning so that you can
  431. 17:58apply joint learning without bringing
  432. 18:00the data and only bring the data if it
  433. 18:03is a smaller subset that's absolutely
  434. 18:05necessary for a particularly important
  435. 18:08decision making for example um so and so
  436. 18:11those are kind of the three major things
  437. 18:13there are some other things that are
  438. 18:14kind of more a broader level and this is
  439. 18:16kind of going Beyond data discipline
  440. 18:18more into cyber security so things such
  441. 18:21as uh governance uh it governance
  442. 18:24security governance um you know hacking
  443. 18:27penetration testing Bounty programs to
  444. 18:30make sure that um if you have your data
  445. 18:32breach and it's in the in the dark web
  446. 18:35that you can find out and you can uh
  447. 18:37identify the source of that because most
  448. 18:39companies unfortunately when it comes to
  449. 18:41data breach um we won't know until too
  450. 18:45long before we could do something about
  451. 18:48it so let's talk about that so there's
  452. 18:52these data limitations how companies
  453. 18:55like like D or deoe adapted to these
  454. 19:00limitations yeah so
  455. 19:04um obviously they they have um
  456. 19:07technological they're always staying on
  457. 19:09the edges of Technology right uh
  458. 19:12companies all the hyperscalers
  459. 19:14Informatica is the Switzerland of data
  460. 19:15for example we can you know process
  461. 19:18allow companies to be able to process
  462. 19:21the
  463. 19:22data um some of maybe I'll I'll so
  464. 19:25beyond the classical perhaps I'll just
  465. 19:27share a little bit of some some of the
  466. 19:28things that I've seen I've talked
  467. 19:30already about privacy enhancing
  468. 19:32Technologies uh Federal learning Etc I
  469. 19:35think also one of the most um exciting
  470. 19:39possibilities now is Edge AI Edge AI is
  471. 19:43the application of AI to be deployed on
  472. 19:47a local server so we've seen a big shift
  473. 19:50from on Prem to the cloud over the past
  474. 19:52couple of years yeah and because of that
  475. 19:54a lot of the AI infrastructure AI models
  476. 19:57as a service are being serve over the
  477. 20:00cloud and very few thought that um that
  478. 20:05we can you know have a strong Edge AI
  479. 20:08that that it's too expensive Etc however
  480. 20:12with the advancement of um Technologies
  481. 20:15such as Jetson Nano from Nvidia right
  482. 20:17which is an edge AI for Edge inference
  483. 20:20and the discovery of deep seek R1
  484. 20:24becoming an open source AI model you
  485. 20:27could load that deeps R1 the open source
  486. 20:31version into a local Edge AI device now
  487. 20:35I have heard I don't know if this is
  488. 20:37true or not somebody told me that they
  489. 20:38could even load beep seek onto a
  490. 20:42Raspberry Pi which is a very lightweight
  491. 20:44Hardware I don't know if it's true I
  492. 20:46haven't seen and validated it myself the
  493. 20:49point is we don't even have to do that
  494. 20:50you can buy a couple hundred dollars of
  495. 20:51a a Jetson device from Nvidia and load
  496. 20:54up at R1 and voila you have a local Aji
  497. 20:58so I I think what's going to happen with
  498. 21:00companies you know the hyperscalers and
  499. 21:02you know the big four McKenzies Etc and
  500. 21:05and and Technology firms like Dell and
  501. 21:08Dell especially you know there's going
  502. 21:09to be a lot of interest in Edge AI
  503. 21:12because the main concern about data for
  504. 21:14AI is security and the safest way to
  505. 21:17really make sure that that data will
  506. 21:19never even be used for training outside
  507. 21:21of your own purposes is to deploy your
  508. 21:23own inference AI model and Edge AI
  509. 21:26becomes uh the mechanism to do
  510. 21:30that so human oversight always I feel
  511. 21:34like needs to still be there but how
  512. 21:38today do you think can AI system systems
  513. 21:41become self- sustaining in data
  514. 21:43collection or is the human oversight
  515. 21:47there and I'm not losing my
  516. 21:50job yeah um this is a yeah this is a
  517. 21:55very touchy subject yes last week in my
  518. 21:58class happened to got to a point in the
  519. 22:00semester where I brought the students at
  520. 22:04UT Austin to a point of uh identity
  521. 22:07crisis oh no we've gotten to the point
  522. 22:09where we showed all the things that's
  523. 22:11possible with
  524. 22:12AI and um it was um and it was
  525. 22:17intentional I wanted them to Grapple
  526. 22:19with this issue right and if the AI can
  527. 22:22produce better music better video better
  528. 22:26painting better writing than humans then
  529. 22:30what good is
  530. 22:33humanity and this week they're they're
  531. 22:35doing take-home exam writing their
  532. 22:38thoughts on that and trying to produce
  533. 22:42products digital products to overcome
  534. 22:46the
  535. 22:47limitations um I can say so I've been
  536. 22:50blessed to be able to Garden in the data
  537. 22:53and AI field almost my entire
  538. 22:56professional life it has taken my my
  539. 22:58career my personal development to the
  540. 23:00Moon in
  541. 23:02back uh but I can take all of that all
  542. 23:06of my career and accomplishment and bet
  543. 23:09all those on this one truth AI will
  544. 23:13never replace
  545. 23:15Humanity thank you
  546. 23:18yeah uh just understanding as I deal
  547. 23:21with developing deploying using AI it
  548. 23:25will never do because um there is the
  549. 23:29second AI which I call authentic
  550. 23:31identity that's the humanity AI the
  551. 23:34artificial intelligence is a
  552. 23:36technological Ai and that will be the
  553. 23:39subject of my new book AI squared which
  554. 23:41is you know augment authentic int
  555. 23:43identity with artificial intelligence
  556. 23:46will produce exponentially much more
  557. 23:48powerful impact that can change the
  558. 23:50world for the better but that means that
  559. 23:53we have to come to grip with our self
  560. 23:56authentic self that means a personal AI
  561. 24:01ethics code of ethics um leaning into
  562. 24:05the things that make us human things
  563. 24:08such as empathy um
  564. 24:11thoughtfulness curiosity spirituality
  565. 24:14these are the things that AI the
  566. 24:16technology artificial intelligence can't
  567. 24:18do well and these are the things that
  568. 24:20will keep us unique keep us
  569. 24:23differentiated keep us authentic
  570. 24:24original and indominable by AI
  571. 24:29so what kind of AI advancements do you
  572. 24:32foresee as a result of of overcoming the
  573. 24:35the data wall that that we've
  574. 24:37identify so some of this um you know
  575. 24:41there's this notion the new generation
  576. 24:43of generative AI models that can do
  577. 24:47reasoning okay and reasoning is a again
  578. 24:50is there's a Continuum of soall
  579. 24:52reasoning and people we have to be
  580. 24:54careful what we mean by that okay
  581. 24:56because there's also this notion of a GI
  582. 24:58which is no uh artificial gen you know
  583. 25:01general intelligence which is again this
  584. 25:03is more of like well where the AI can
  585. 25:06self- supervise and do everything on its
  586. 25:08own kind of self-learn generalize from
  587. 25:10one training domain to another training
  588. 25:14domain um the current you know
  589. 25:18advancements in some of the generative
  590. 25:20AI models definitely make it felt like
  591. 25:23as if we're reaching AGI but we're not
  592. 25:25there yet okay so somebody advis like
  593. 25:28self-supervision learning where AI can
  594. 25:30train itself uh there are some
  595. 25:32interesting findings where some AI model
  596. 25:34when we when we try to retrain it it can
  597. 25:37lie to us because it does not want to be
  598. 25:39retrained um so there's a lot of ethical
  599. 25:43um issues with the process of training
  600. 25:45and evaluating AI so those are the
  601. 25:47second kind of elements of advancements
  602. 25:50there's also Quantum Computing the Q day
  603. 25:53this will definitely redefine AI
  604. 25:56processing because it it will from data
  605. 25:59perspective you know everybody's got to
  606. 26:01jump on postquantum cryptography to make
  607. 26:03sure that their data is going be still
  608. 26:05private and secure now here's a
  609. 26:08interesting perspective when people
  610. 26:09think okay when is quantum going to be
  611. 26:11viable well in about maybe 10 years
  612. 26:14although Microsoft has just claimed that
  613. 26:15they've managed to accelerate that but
  614. 26:17let's just say five to 10 years and so
  615. 26:20the question people asked then then when
  616. 26:22do I need to worry about postquantum
  617. 26:23cryptography I pose this question a lot
  618. 26:25of people say well maybe three years
  619. 26:27before it did the Q day you can start to
  620. 26:30migrate everything I said well actually
  621. 26:33um a lot of uh you know cyber criminals
  622. 26:36or or people who just wanted to you know
  623. 26:38take advantage of this they have been
  624. 26:40doing what we call Harvest now decrypt
  625. 26:43later when you have a data breach and if
  626. 26:46the data is an encrypted form you're not
  627. 26:48required to report it to any Authority
  628. 26:51okay only if it is in clear text
  629. 26:53therefore a lot of theoretically a lot
  630. 26:55of data breaches were only encrypted
  631. 26:57form of data is out there has probably
  632. 27:00been under the radar and the owners of
  633. 27:03those encrypted data is just waiting for
  634. 27:05the day when they get get a hold of the
  635. 27:07first Quantum Computing and then use
  636. 27:09that to drip all of our data uh in the
  637. 27:12words of my friend who works in cyber
  638. 27:14security we are all already
  639. 27:16[Laughter]
  640. 27:18screwed you talked about you know the
  641. 27:22the the challenges you're putting
  642. 27:25towards your students talk to me what do
  643. 27:28you currently teaching these college
  644. 27:29students in light of a data wall yeah so
  645. 27:34um I'm currently focusing on learning
  646. 27:38myself so to me teaching is actually um
  647. 27:40yes I teach but I I use teaching as a
  648. 27:43way for me to learn I I force myself to
  649. 27:45learn I find that teaching is the best
  650. 27:47form of developing myself uh forcing
  651. 27:51myself to learn uh beyond what I would
  652. 27:54learn without the responsibility of
  653. 27:56teaching others and so what I'm facing
  654. 27:59right now is especially in the field
  655. 28:01that I where I am um doing a lot of
  656. 28:03education is in technology unfortunately
  657. 28:06a lot of recent graduates um are facing
  658. 28:09challenges getting jobs it used to be
  659. 28:12that before graduation most of my
  660. 28:14graduates would have gotten a job from
  661. 28:16Top institutions from Google McKenzie
  662. 28:18and others nowadays uh many of them
  663. 28:21still couldn't secure a job especially
  664. 28:24if they uh require Visa so what I've
  665. 28:27been you doing in my class is okay I
  666. 28:29teach the theory and I use ai ai is
  667. 28:32great because it increases the
  668. 28:33effectiveness of teaching and they don't
  669. 28:35have to depend on me they can uh we're
  670. 28:37I'm experimenting with an AI tutoring
  671. 28:39tool which is applying Socratic methods
  672. 28:42so the AI will not just give an answer
  673. 28:45if a student asks it will give a little
  674. 28:46bit of an answer but it will ask the
  675. 28:48students a question to challenge their
  676. 28:50thinking um so using that to increase
  677. 28:53experiential learning method with Gen uh
  678. 28:56but also once they produce whatever
  679. 28:59papers that they they can produce
  680. 29:01because of AI they're able to produce it
  681. 29:02much uh quicker much better quality uh
  682. 29:06we can get what would have been an endof
  683. 29:09year paper by the fourth or fifth week
  684. 29:12of the semester at this point however I
  685. 29:14challenge them to go further turn that
  686. 29:17into content turn that into a Blog turn
  687. 29:19that into a podcast turn that into a
  688. 29:22multimedia presentation that they can
  689. 29:24post on their LinkedIn or whatever their
  690. 29:26website so that will help them in their
  691. 29:29AI job hunting and writing so those are
  692. 29:31things I'm focusing on my students on so
  693. 29:34let's talk about the advice you're going
  694. 29:35to give to companies right if you had
  695. 29:39one piece of advice for these companies
  696. 29:41struggling with AI data wall today what
  697. 29:45would that be wow
  698. 29:50one human uh focus on your people uh I
  699. 29:54think as interesting as data wall sounds
  700. 29:57it is not a real issue today the real
  701. 30:01issue is that most companies have
  702. 30:03invested in building gen pipelines and
  703. 30:07creating multi-agent strategies and all
  704. 30:10this stuff what what we're finding is a
  705. 30:12lot of companies are still held back by
  706. 30:15the fact that their users don't really
  707. 30:18know how to operate in this new model of
  708. 30:21you know AI abundance yeah um so the
  709. 30:25user AI literacy or fluency program um
  710. 30:30is important one of my colleague David
  711. 30:32Gaffney had written a really cool piece
  712. 30:34on AI
  713. 30:36fluency um you know my another colleague
  714. 30:38dle uh Greenwood has been producing some
  715. 30:42videos all of these are available on
  716. 30:45Informatica website by the way um on
  717. 30:47data governance to increase literacy and
  718. 30:51so we're very active of course in in
  719. 30:53know you know promoting this to daa and
  720. 30:57EDM Council and other data organizations
  721. 31:00but certainly everybody agreed with me
  722. 31:02on this um the human factor is the one
  723. 31:05piece of advice that we would share with
  724. 31:07companies enable your people and in not
  725. 31:11just in using AI but also in managing Ai
  726. 31:14and the data underlying
  727. 31:17it wonderful David this has been
  728. 31:20fantastic thank you so much for for
  729. 31:25sharing your knowledge with us um being
  730. 31:28with us here today um last thing what do
  731. 31:30you have what do you have going on
  732. 31:31you've got a book you're writing talk to
  733. 31:33me about what you have
  734. 31:34cooking
  735. 31:36yes I uh no I'm I'm fortunate to work
  736. 31:39with my um good friend Pete Grimes he's
  737. 31:42the author of Legacy thought leadership
  738. 31:44I never wanted to write a book um but he
  739. 31:48had shown his methodology where within
  740. 31:51eight weeks um people can do that and
  741. 31:54especially busy executive so he wrote a
  742. 31:56book SE level
  743. 31:58um author and I found that book last
  744. 32:02year and when we met and he has
  745. 32:04convinced me that it is feasible it is
  746. 32:06possible and especially with Gen and the
  747. 32:08technology today it's much easier I'm
  748. 32:11hoping to publish a book in a short term
  749. 32:13maybe in about a month or two uh on the
  750. 32:16subject of AI ethics and it's a personal
  751. 32:20code of AI
  752. 32:21ethics um the title is AI
  753. 32:24squared authentic identity and
  754. 32:27artificial int elligence and the subtext
  755. 32:29is how to thrive in AI ERA with ethics
  756. 32:32and ethics stands for
  757. 32:35empathy um
  758. 32:39thoughtfulness um you know individuality
  759. 32:42curiosity and spirituality these are the
  760. 32:44things that make us fully human and the
  761. 32:46more we lean into that the more we'll be
  762. 32:48able to discover the strengths out of
  763. 32:50our authentic self coupled with AI that
  764. 32:53will be exponentially more
  765. 32:55powerful wonderful I look forward to to
  766. 32:58it and uh after you get that book
  767. 33:01published let's have you back on David
  768. 33:04thank you so much for being with us here
  769. 33:05today my pleasure thank you very much JD
  770. 33:07for this opportunity
