Too often forgotten. Data is indeed a mean to an end. It's not outright knowledge and will require work to be useful. It better be aligned with your needs if you want to use it for decision making.

To me that sounds an awful like the "lazy consensus" often applied in communities. Still this is indeed a good approach.

Interesting article about how we badly design AI systems which make them very vulnerable to the quality of the data they receive. That's in part why I'd expect that somehow we'll see knowledge representation somehow come back in fashion because they have some potential to lead to better explicability in models.

Very interesting discussion about decision making and forecasting. I'm discovering Tetlock as he is mentioned and his findings are interesting in their own right as well.
