Send us a textDatatopics is a podcast presented by Kevin Missoorten to talk about the fuzzy and misunderstood concepts in the world of data, analytics, and AI and get to the bottom of things.In another thought-provoking episode of the Datatopics podcast we embark on a captivating exploration of data monetization. Join us as we gather two distinguished guests, Bart Hamers, head of the center of expertise of analytics and AI at a large bank, and Ben Mellaerts, a dataroots data strategist with Dataroots, to untangle the complex web of generating value from data.Throughout the episode, together we engage in a though debate, attempting to pinpoint the true essence of data monetization. Addressing common misconceptions, explore the challenges and opportunities associated with data monetization, today and in an ever increasing digital world.Is data monetization limited to opportunities to sell data or data products or is it more? If so, does this word bring any added value to our lives? (pun intended) How does data privacy fit in?
