On a recent episode of The Foil podcast, Ian Oppermann shares how potential harm mitigation is being integrated into the AI assurance framework under development by the NSW Data & Analytics Centre (DAC).

He also recounts his experience with presenting data findings that have disproved commonly held and personal beliefs and how this is often met with resistance and rebuttal.

Ian has learnt how to take people on a journey to ask bigger and more ambitious questions, and shares how this has resulted in expanding the innovation and impact of a project. Learn about importance of asking the right question, democratising data, and the ways in which the findings of a data analytics project can be challenging to communicate when sensitive subjects are involved.
