Keynote: The Future of AI is Data...In More Ways than You Think
summary
Claim: recent AI breakthroughs owe more to data than novel algorithms. Shows concrete failures: Russia Today becomes the most-watched news channel on YouTube in the United States by seeding training and test data with clickbait, so models optimize engagement not quality and drive propaganda. Gives fixes with named initiatives and money: decentralized data marketplaces (Solid, Ocean, Nebula, Tim Berners-Lee project, $45M rounds) and interactive, code‑free data interfaces (Google What‑If, OpenMapper) that expose biases and surface real outcome metrics.
