            “Understand the process that created the data that you’re going to be using. You get a better product, and you also don’t lose the humanity in the numbers.”


            “When we start modeling things like turnover rate and we're able to use explainable AI to see why it's coming up with the results, we're really giving those people a voice. We're being able to ask an entire population of employees, or patients, or whoever, what do you think about this?”
