I posted to YouTube a video to my ACR 2020 presentation titled, “Not-so Easy Listening: Roots and Repercussions of Auditory Choice Difficulty in Voice Commerce” by Kurt Munz and Vicki Morwitz.

In a stable world, it's best to be data-driven. In a changing world, it's better to be data-informed.

Data can reveal patterns from the past. It takes judgment to predict how those patterns will evolve in the future.

Data shouldn't guide decisions. They should inform decisions.

"When Watson triumphed at “Jeopardy!,” the response was overwhelming. IBM’s customers clamored for one of their own. Executives saw a big business opportunity.

Clearly, there was a market for Watson. But there was a problem.

IBM had little to sell."

Academic writing 🧵 Having come from journalism to research, I don't like that abstracts and intros take forever to get to the point, usually starting with obvious truths and platitudes. In my field, I play "robots are entering our daily lives" bingo whenever I review a paper. 1/
