In this episode of the Data Strategy Gurus Podcast, hosts Yves Mulkers and Angelika Klidas dive into the fascinating world of AI literacy.
As AI continues to rise in prominence, the conversation explores the significance of AI literacy and its distinctions from data literacy. Angelika shares insights on why the term "AI literacy" may be more of a marketing strategy and emphasizes the importance of understanding the implications, governance, and ethical discussions involved in AI. Yves and Angelika discuss the intertwined nature of data literacy and AI literacy, highlighting that working effectively with AI solutions requires a solid foundation in data management and governance.
As they unravel the complexities of AI literacy, this episode guides listeners on how to navigate the data and AI landscape, offering valuable takeaways and insights on fostering an informed approach to AI adoption.

Angelika Klidas embarked on a journey into the world of data literacy around six years ago, when she was instrumental in developing innovative programs in marketing data literacy.
Her passion for fostering understanding in this domain set the groundwork for her subsequent endeavors in AI education. The launch of OpenAI's large language model on November 30, 2022, marked a significant milestone in the AI landscape, sparking widespread interest and discussions about AI's novelty.
However, with her extensive background, Angelika perceives AI as a long-standing field rather than a new phenomenon.
As conversations about AI literacy gained traction, Angelika contributed her insights, expressing a nuanced perspective that challenges the appropriateness of the term "AI." Her work continues to influence discussions on how best to integrate and understand AI in contemporary contexts.

Bill Inmon is a renowned figure in the field of data architecture. He witnessed the evolution of the concept, from the early days when it consisted of defining keys and attributes and storing them in databases, to the realization that a more organized approach was needed. As databases grew in complexity, the idea that a database should be a source of data for all processing took root.

Inmon observed the rise of online transactional processing databases, each with its own unique properties. However, it was during this time that a crucial realization hit the corporate world. Despite having numerous databases, there was a lack of reliable and trustworthy data.

Recognizing this pressing issue, Bill Inmon dedicated his career to solving it. He became a leading advocate for the development of data warehouses, which aimed to provide a comprehensive and unified solution for businesses to store and manage their data. Inmon's expertise in this area helped him become a trusted advisor for corporations, guiding them in building reliable and trustworthy data repositories.
