Series Three of the Rock Bottom Data Feed has been an exploration of AI and data. It's a big subject. Sometimes we got talking with our guests and next thing you know we've gone long or ventured into a topic that's beyond the scope of the episode. Never ones to let good conversation go to waste, we've accumulated those bits here. If you haven't already listened to the episodes in this series, go back and listen. If you have already listened to the episodes in this series, go back and listen anyway.

As a special bonus, we present Rosie Krantz and Goldie Stern at the AI Bootstrap (sponsored by Outplaced) in its entirety.

But first, we join Ben Counter and Pete Webster live at the Ponds Data Governance Bowl.

It is our pleasure to welcome to Rock Bottom, Tony Shaw, Founder and CEO of DATAVERSITY, the premiere resource for data education, whether delivered live, recorded, virtual, or in person. It is clear that data is becoming increasingly important for AI success, and in many ways, corporate success. But while data education is also becoming increasingly important, it is still undervalued by too many companies. Keeping up with the state of the art is key, and there's no substitute for being there in the room with other practitioners.

In this episode, we conclude the story of Roman Krantz and Gilbert Stern. Their expulsion from of the land of cubicles has been rough, but they may have found a port in the storm. Will AI be the demise of Roman and Gilbert, or will they rewrite their own ending?

Nearly a hundred thousand corporate employees have been terminated in mass layoffs this year. Most just in the past few months. And ostensibly because of AI.

We're not convinced.

Our scheduled guest was unexpectedly unavailable (and in case you're worried, we can confirm that he was not replaced by AI), so in this episode, John and Mark discuss these recent events and some of what the future holds. Maybe this batch wasn't totally due to AI, but it's coming.
