how to spot fake news

This week features the final section of a three-part interview on @SAfmradio late last month.

In part one we looked at the difference between data and big data, emerging trends impacting big data, and how the data siloes present in large organisations create barriers to really taking advantage of big data

In part two, we discussed why volume is not the most critical aspect of big data, looked at the kind of problems that big data can help us to solve, and discussed the need for discernment when dealing with data and how fake news can be used to alter a narrative

This week we are posting the final few minutes of the interview…

We cover some of the challenges of data curatorship – how do we find, understand and trust our data. This leads to the importance of business goals driving the use of data, and finally, we touch on the need to govern the use and destruction of data and the consumer’s right to be forgotten!

Once again – we would love to have your thoughts!
