6. Better Data, Better Future with Kevin Yee and Uzair Javaid, Co-Founders of betterdata.ai
Data is the new oil and we need to empower its usage without compromising data privacy for better decision making. The only way forward is synthetic data as it is a representation of the real data itself. It is critical to distinguish which environments will hold the production data and which will hold the synthetic data. In my view, synthetic data will be a game-changer as it will help the organizations to achieve operational efficiency, reduce data risk, and swift product rollouts which we call speed to market. So now we have better data for a better future. To discuss this and more, Sachin is joined by the cofounders of betterdata.ai. Kevin Yee and Uzair Javaida.

If you are listening to this, AI is a part of your everyday life. It has touched literally every industry and transformed our experience as users and consumers.

AI is expected to be even more deeply integrated into everything we do but it’s of utmost importance to understand what lies inside the black box or it will continue to overwhelm us, scare us and make us anxious.
To discuss this and more, Sachin is joined by Gaurav Bubna, co-founder of NextBillion.ai, a geospatial data platform. Gaurav loves working on new initiatives and bringing them from idea to life and going from launch to scale.
