Anthony Tockar: Data ethics and the AI arms race

In this episode of the Curious Quant podcast series, I sit down with Anthony Tockar from Verge Labs to discuss his experiences and lessons learned from working in Silicon Valley, where he sees Australia within the global AI arms race and the future of data science:

“This is a great challenge, we can really help people here, bring Australia forward.”

On the benefits of collaboration:

“We build on the knowledge of others and tap into collective expertise.”

Working with algorithms:

“How do I separate signal from noise? Pick it up and shake it.”
