George Sifakis: I know there's another area<br />
that is so important to you personally and<br />
professionally, and that's the data divide. I<br />
know this is something I'm personally<br />
interested in, as well as <strong>Ideagen</strong>, but what is<br />
the data divide, and how can we tackle it?<br />
Gretchen O'Hara: It's a relatively new<br />
concept. I think we're all very used to the<br />
digital divide, and we've talked about that<br />
for quite some time, but the digital divide<br />
is essentially about access. How do you<br />
make sure you have access to be more<br />
productive and essentially rebalance the<br />
scales of inequity? But what's happening<br />
now, and I think we are just waking up to<br />
this, is that data is king. Data is a sort of<br />
new access, and we've seen that through<br />
the explosion in the consumer world with<br />
ChatGPT as an example. I was talking<br />
about this last night at a dinner, and for<br />
example, I had led the AI business at<br />
Microsoft before I went to Splunk. Then, I<br />
was fighting to make sure that both the<br />
commercial and public sectors understood<br />
the value of AI, but I would say we were<br />
very nascent in that work.<br />

Gretchen: Now, all of a sudden, it's table<br />
topics with everyone from your<br />
grandparents to your child, and to your<br />
point, that's how fast things have<br />
changed. In the last ten years, we've ten<br />
folded the zettabytes of data; those are<br />
massive data sets that we've never seen<br />
before in our lifetime. As we think about<br />
the technology revolution continuing, we<br />
went essentially from the industrial<br />
revolution to the technology revolution,<br />
and that being core to access, now it's<br />
about data. We will actually see the<br />
continuation of that data growth over the<br />
next couple of years, all the way through<br />
2025. We'll see it double again. So what<br />
do we do? What does that mean to<br />
anybody when we think about how data<br />
is so important and that data is king to all<br />
of us?<br />
