4:00 PM – Stefan Boom, Managing Director Benelux & Nordics, Dynata:  Redefining data quality in changing times.

About:

In today’s fast-changing environment, people spend more time than ever online, but competition for their time has significantly increased, and the rise of automation, fraudulent behavior, bots and AI (e.g. ChatGPT) draws a heavy toll on data quality. In this environment, do we need to redefine data quality? And is AI a threat or rather an opportunity to ensure organizations maintain trust in our data and insights derived from those evolutions?

4:20 PM – Jon Puleston, Vice President Innovation, Kantar

About:

Question Everything

This session will be an entertaining look at what my experiences of being a Superforecaster and 20 years+ of conducting research research experiments. It will take a look at my highs and lows of analyzing data, the mistake I have made and what I think have been the most important lessons I have learnt along the way. It will highlight the capricious nature of research data, how human beings are primed to make sense of it shapes and patterns. You will come away from this session I hope with a renewed respect for the god of random numbers!

4:40 PM – Court case

Is AI a blessing or a curse for data quality? Will AI take our jobs? Does research data always tell the truth?
