In this fireside chat, Rob Lang, Newsroom AI Editor at Reuters, and Rony Shalit, Chief Compliance and Ethics Officer at Bright Data, explore one of the most critical and overlooked forces shaping our digital reality: access to public web data. They’ll discuss the delicate balance between open access, ethics, and innovation, and why this balance will define the future of AI. We’ll also confront an emerging type of misinformation, missing data, and why researchers are working to solve this issue quickly, and how it can shape our perceptions.
