Responsibilities of a Chief Data Officer

In this episode, I talk to Patrick Wagstrom. Patrick is the Chief Data Officer at Brightcove. Before that Patrick was the director of emerging technology at Verizon, meaning that he leveraged AI/ML, augmented reality, blockchain, IoT, quantum computing, and even 5G.  Before that, he was a senior director of data science at Capital One. Even before that, he was a "research nerd"(his own term) at IBM working on the Watson project.

We talk about:

- his role and responsibilities as a chief data officer,

- the difference between building systems that support machine learning and systems that don't,

- distributed software engineering,

- data governance and GDPR,

- and how to make sure your AI model is unbiased.
