If we accept Pablo Picasso’s provoca­tive but remark­able state­ment that “good artists copy, but great artists steal…” then Big Data pro­vides us with more oppor­tu­ni­ties “to steal”. The prob­lem is then a mat­ter of choice and deci­sion. How does this align with Harold Bloom’s the­o­ry of inter­tex­tu­al­i­ty and the “anx­i­ety of influence”?

In the lat­est of her Duet series of inter­views, Dr Cal­daro­la, author of Big Data and Law, and Chris­t­ian Mon­jou M. Phil (Oxon.), con­nois­seur of art and bridge builder between art and man­age­ment, con­sid­er what impact the dig­i­tal rev­o­lu­tion will have on art and innovation.

Tech­nol­o­gy is com­ing clos­er and clos­er to the essen­tial and per­son­al affairs of human beings. Whether it be biotech­nol­o­gy, med­i­cine or dig­i­tal appli­ca­tions and apps that record and impact our dai­ly inter­ac­tions, they all influ­ence humans as a col­lec­tive as well as indi­vid­u­als when deci­sions are made. The call for ethics is grow­ing loud­er and loud­er. The pan­dem­ic has led to increased eth­i­cal debates sur­round­ing the big ques­tions of if, and, if so, which eth­i­cal under­stand­ing will guide human­i­ty, how ethics will affect future devel­op­ments in the dig­i­tal age and how eth­i­cal val­ues can and should be respected. 

In the lat­est of her Duet inter­views, Dr Cal­daro­la, author of Big Data and Law, and AI expert Leila Taghizadeh dis­cuss the com­pat­i­bil­i­ty of ethics and AI.

The role of Big Data in exec­u­tive deci­sion-mak­ing: Data-led deci­sions ver­sus deci­sions made using instinct and expe­ri­ence? Can there be too much evi­dence in an evi­dence-based deci­sion-mak­ing process?

In a con­tin­u­a­tion of her Duet inter­view series, Dr Cal­daro­la, author of Big Data and Law, chats with Prof. Roger Hal­low­ell, an acknowl­edged expert on lead­er­ship, regard­ing the prac­tice of deci­sion-mak­ing today ‑and tomorrow.
