Episode Topic: When Numbers Lie
Data is the new gold, mined and used (for better or worse) every single day. Algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) are then used to suggest what movies we stream, or send us grocery store coupons in the mail. When our data is used mindfully and ethically, this can be beneficial. When it’s not, we could be putting ourselves at risk. Victoria Woodard Ph.D., associate teaching professor and director of undergraduate studies for the department of applied and computational mathematics and statistics at the University of Notre Dame, will help you understand how AI works (what is ChatGPT actually doing?!) and things to be concerned about when providing your data to others.
