The Rock Bottom Data Feed gang is back for another series, and for much of this series we will be focused on AI. Just like the internet and Six Sigma, we think it's here to stay. So, what are its ramifications for the data area? How can we make AI work for us, not against us? How can we get something useful from it?
In this episode we welcome Kelle O'Neal and Gregg Loos from First San Francisco Partners. FSFP is a consultancy that helps organizations make their information actionable. They are also on the forefront of using AI to accelerate their own business processes, and share some of what they've learned through the process

The Fuss About Nick Guy
Welcome back for this, the third series of the Rock Bottom Data Feed. Previously, John and Mark did a four-part radio play following Nick Guy, Data Detective, as he investigated the death of Consolidated International and the role that Jen AI may have played in its demise. The reception from our listeners was very enthusiastic, so in this special episode we present the full, uninterrupted radio play.
We'd again like to thank The Rock Bottom Players who helped with the Nick Guy series and other sketches: Chris Ladley, Amy Ladley, Pamela Thomas, Evan Goldt, Kasey Griffin, Karen Schowalter Cooper, and Johnathan Whited.

The Fuss About Principles and Policies
Principles and policies live at the intersection of Data Governance and Data Ethics. It's a place many companies could use some help. Providing that help in this episode of the Rock Bottom Data Feed is Malcolm Chisholm, President of Data Millennium, and author of Successful and Sustainable Data Policies. He introduces us to the Data Policy Lifecycle, required not only for Data Policies (as its name suggests) but also as a foundation for sustainable Data Governance.
And Nick Guy finds himself entangled deeper and deeper in a web of corporate homicide. Will he be able to solve this mystery before an innocent party is captured...or worse!?!
