It is that time of year again when Data Toboggan is running another 12 hour conference with 3 tracks with speakers from around the world. There are some amazing sessions to learn from. The conference is free to attend as usual.
I am speaking on something of interest and topical in my lightning talk in The Chalet on Data Literacy: The Human Advantage in an AI World.
AI is accelerating decision‑making across organisations, but it’s also accelerating how quickly mistakes can scale. This session explores how data literacy keeps humans in the loop, prevents over‑reliance on AI, and strengthens judgment, context, and critical thinking. Attendees will see real examples of AI hallucinations, learn how provenance and triangulation protect against bad outputs, and understand why cognitive skills weaken when tasks are automated. They will leave with a practical checklist for questioning AI outputs, a clear view of the risks of low data literacy, and a framework for building teams that use AI responsibly, confidently, and intelligently.
We have our usual Piste Maps with the agenda.
