This interview, our discussion, and our views are now a part of the global data set.   

According to Laura, data is impartial. It doesn't have human-like qualities. The unclean data, the unstructured data is the best mirror to ourselves. Ultimately, we are responsible for the data-sets that are pulled into other organizations. i.e. we buy, we post, we upload, we like, we repost. 

We can clean data to redefine a better 'prettier' answer,  but if we want to fix the data, we may want to shift that focus to ourselves.   "... you play an active role whether you have known it or not. You have been in it all along", Laura.  "We focus on all the things that can go wrong (when discussing AI technologies), but there are benefits that can be used for good with the right gaurd rails. We have to sift through the not good in order to acheive the good", Laura.
