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!?!

In this episode, we return to the subject of Data Ethics. The title may have given it away. We are pleased to welcome to Rock Bottom Katrina Ingram, Founder and CEO of Ethically Aligned AI, and author of the Dataversity column Ask a Data Ethicist. We met Katrina at DGIQ in Washington, DC. She joins us here to share practical advice about making AI responsible, safe, and ethical.

We also continue the adventures of Nick Guy, Data Detective, as he arrives at the old warehouse by the waterfront. He encounters a horrific crime scene, as well as a special guest Rock Bottom Player. Can you guess who it is?

This week we introduce Nick Guy, Data Detective. A knock at the door. A new client. And a mystery that will take us through the next several episodes. Maybe Nick wishes he had grabbed dinner earlier. Or maybe not. Joining John and Mark is Irene Dirks, one of the passers-by that sat down and actually talked with us at DGIQ. She has some very creative and engaging ideas for using Lego sets to get across information management concepts. Sounds like a lot of fun. Next time we find ourselves in Utrecht we'll have to drop in on one of her workshops.
