Marathon training showed me lessons about data that no textbook ever did. I fell in love with both running and data solutions, and along the way, realised they have more in common than you might think. I believe far more people can run a marathon than they realise. The same is true for building excellent data solutions.
Abstract: Bayes' Theorem, a foundational concept in probability theory, has become central to modern data science and economic decision-making. This article traces the theorem’s journey from classical statistics to advanced machine learning applications and highlights its critical role in forecasting and policy evaluation in economics. A real-world case study on U.S. recession prediction illustrates how Bayesian updating provides a dynamic, probabilistic framework for economic inference and decision-making [1][2].
Introduction: Reframing Ethical AI Through Records and Information Management As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have proliferated across both the public and private sectors, ethical governance has emerged as a central concern. Organisations and regulators scramble to develop responsible AI principles, accountability frameworks, and compliance protocols. However, many of these challenges are not new. Records and Information Management (RIM) professionals have long confronted the same ethical questions, now reframed through an AI lens, i.e. how to ensure data quality, maintain transparency, protect privacy, and uphold public trust. This article argues that ethical AI governance can and should draw from the established disciplines of RIM. Far from being sidelined, records professionals hold the key to managing risks and realising the benefits of AI. Many AI principles reflect longstanding archival values, and tools such as ontology, and metadata management, offer practical pathways to accountability, explainability, and compliance.
