Episode notes

I feel like that's the constant battle is that there's this idea that the data gives the truth. Annie Duke has built an entire post-gambling career, like probabilistic thinking, comfortable with uncertainty. So understanding the rigor behind how these things have been built is important but then how comfortable are you with it getting it wrong? And we need to understand that percentage because for most decisions in our life, it won't matter.

To trust something, you need to understand it. And, to understand something, someone often has to explain it. When it comes to AI, explainability can be a real challenge (definitionally, a "black box" is unexplainable)! With AI getting new levels of press and prominence thanks to the explosion of generative AI platforms, the need for explainability continues to grow. But, it's just as important in more conventional situations. Dr. Janet Bastiman, the Chief Data Scientist at Napier, joined Moe and Tim to, well, explain the topic!
